3/5
"An old-fashioned round of Spot the Plot Device"  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

C-
"The "American Pie" franchise throws in another kitchen sink of gross-out sight gags by screenwriter Adam Herz ("American Pie" 1 and 2) in this third, and hopefully final installment, of percolating testosterone commotion."  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

2.5/4
"Demonstrates the same disregard for good taste as its predecessors had."  Nitrate Online  Dan Lybarger

2.5/4
"American Wedding supposedly marks the end of the American Pie series, which is something of a shame, considering each successive film seems to improve upon its predecessor."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

2/4
"It doesn't take a rocket scientist (or a pie fornicator) to tell that American Wedding is easily the weakest in a once-promising series."  DustinPutman.com  Dustin Putman

B
"For what it means to be, and what it wants to do, it is largely successful."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

3/4
"Thankfully, in a summer full of theatrical gimmicks the American Wedding audience is not asked to participate in Taste-O-Vision."  eFilmCritic.com  Erik Childress

B
"the good-natured sweetness with which the movie approaches its characters won me over despite the contrived, desperate construction of its gags."  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

C
"If this flavor of 'Pie' is your desert of choice, you'll find it served up as well here as you could wish, but in reality it's an awfully tasteless confection."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

2.5/4
"If you think you're going to like American Wedding, you probably will. If you don't, you probably won't."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

2.5/4
"doesn’t always work on its own, but it has a well-worn, comfortable feel that’s hard to dismiss"  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

1/5
"The third -- and, dear God, hopefully final -- American Pie film wastes talented actors on slapstick, sentimentality and smut."  Netflix  James Rocchi

4/10
"Not only is Stifler taking over this [movie], he's also engaging in one ridiculous experience after another, most of them humiliating."  Window to the Movies  Jeffrey Chen

5/10
"One character continues to provide laughs, scene in and scene out... Stifler!"  JoBlo's Movie Emporium  JoBlo

4.5/5
"It's fun, silly, it's a good time. Go, enjoy it for pete's sake; especially after all the crap that's come out this summer."  Cinerina  Karina Montgomery

3/4
"... enjoy the cinematic conclusion of what happens when sexually active teens get to grow up instead of being killed off at summer camp by a maniac slasher."  MovieCrypt.com  Kevin A. Ranson

2.5/4
"While there are some laughs, they're not as loud as they would have been in the hands of a less clueless filmmaker."  Montreal Film Journal  Kevin N. Laforest

C
"When a film series starts ripping off Jerry Van Dyke sitcoms, that's a good sign it's time to throw in the towel."  Countingdown.com  Larry Carroll

B-
"This movie achieved the unusual - made me laugh out loud - not once, but several times."  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

3/5
"Frequently gross but often very funny."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

2.5/4
"We may be saying goodbye to these likable dopes, but we also can't help but think that they deserve a better send off."  Mark Reviews Movies  Mark Dujsik

3/4
"One last helping of good, dirty--and surprisingly sweet--fun."  TheMovieReport.com  Michael Dequina

3/4
"It takes the characters we have come to know and love and it plugs them into an original situation."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

B-
"Once again, as in the first two movies, there is a lot of talk about sex and a lot of attempts to have sex, but the sex that actually occurs is almost entirely respectful, monogamous, and really quite sweet."  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

2/4
"There’s plenty of penis-related disasters going on in director Jesse Dylan’s ode to friendship, fidelity and clandestine fellatio."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

2/4
"Nothing more than an attempt to squeeze a few more dollars out of the success of the freakishly popular 1999 original."  Critic Doctor  Peter Sobczynski

B-
"...if the reactions of the screening audience are any indications, it will be huge."  Reeling Reviews  Robin Clifford

3.5/5
"Knowing how to frame a gag effectively is absolutely essential when creating a slapstick sex farce, and American Wedding does just that with alarming accuracy."  eFilmCritic.com  Scott Weinberg

B-
"Often helplessly hilarious in its adolescent gross-out way, yet the cast periodically invests the film with sweetness."  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker

B-
"We didn't need a third American Pie, but you'll still get a few laughs out of it."  Flipside Movie Emporium  Sean O'Connell

1.5/4
"Joins the Porky's triptych as teensploitation smut franchises that have made it to three installments."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
