.. and here it is the final sequel to the hillarous "american pie". the climax of the trilogy.. american pie ties the knot!! if you have seen the previous sequel, you'll then realy have to see this one. i have not laughed this hard at a movie since the original american pie. it is not often that a second sequel can come so close to matching the humor of the first one, especially when there is a slightly inferior second movie in between. however, american wedding does that. the story is not as deep as american pie or american pie 2, but the laughs are still there, and for some reason, i think that this movie was more emotional. i had low expectations going in and was surprised at the outcome. do worry that some of the american pie regulars opted out of appearing in this film - the ones that are left are the core of what makes these movies so funny. be warned...it is very crude and definitely earns its R rating.
i went to see this movie after finding out that seabiscuit was already sold out. i thought that this was definitely just one of those dvd movies, definitely not worth my $10. i did like the first two sequels, although i find all the humor is very engrossing but funny. but i was surprise that the movie really gives an emotional story around its hillarious humor. the story about jim and michelle who finally decided to get married and not to invite stiffler to the wedding.. but ohooohh.. it's not that easy, my friend!! and then.. the humor was just keep coming in between the wedding plan, stiffler's hillarous attempt to steal michelle's sister's heart.. while competing with finch. and yeah.. finch still couldn't get over his biggest crush.. stiffler's mom!!
get ready to roar with laughter when you watch this movie. lots of crude and outrageous jokes, yet had enough subplots and decent love story to keep everything going smoothly.
after watching this movie, i got to watch "behind the movies" on VH1 about the entire sattire behind the making of this movie. and it just doesn't come out overnight. the writer is trying to show the reality of high school students when the movie first came out. and his point was.. any high school jokes are supposed to be R rated. so there it goes.. the movie came out with R rating with its knock-it-down reality of how kids today. and that.. they say, the key to the success of the show. the writer was actually wrote the story when he was taking film school and he poured out his own story that becomes the roots of the trilogy.
another thing about the trilogy, it brought out so many young actors who now become the household names like, jason biggs, seann william scott, or even shannon elizabeth (remember nadia, the foreign-exchange student?). and i couldn't think a better ending of the hillarious trilogy then the american wedding.

Starring: Jeff Bridges, Tobey Maguire, Chris Cooper, and more...
Director: Gary Ross
Genre: Drama
sebenernya waktu gue ngeliat trailer film ini beberapa bulan yang lalu, gue kurang tertarik untuk nonton, walopun yang maen lumayan banyak aktor kawakan. ada jeff bridges, chris cooper, dan tobey maguire. tapi pas gue baca sinopsis nya ini ceritanya ttg horse race gitu.. ah, sepertinya gak menarik. apalagi gue juga emang pada dasarnya kurang suka ngeliat horse race, or to be more precise, never experienced seeing one anyways. so, waktu filmnya premiere in US about 3 weeks ago, gue sama sekali tidak punya pikiran buat nonton film ini, my thought was.. "it's just one of those DVD movies", until... i saw the reviews. all the critics mentioned how good this movie is, how the story is very motivating, and all the people i know who have watched it, said the same thing!! they were even talking about "oscar's quality". wah, gue jadi penasaran kan.. abisan apa sih yang bikin menarik dari cerita ttg pacuan kuda??
ternyata sodara sodari... film ini dibuat berdasarkan kisah nyata ttg kuda bernama "seabiscuit". and apparently, he was one of the most famous horse in the US in the 30s. and his story was fascinating that it transformed to the quality of the movie. it is one of the motivating story *especially in the close-to-depression times like now* about a longshot who became a legend. and it all happened before the world war II, during the time of the "Great Depression". no wonder i never heard about the story, it happened quite a long time ago, didn't it?
gara² film ini, akhirnya cerita² dokumentari ttg seabiscuit banyak bertayangan di televisi. and i caught one of them, the whole true documentary story about how a small horse with a blinded jockey would become a legend. i was very interested of the story i saw on TV that i decided that i have to watch the movie. and i did... and i was very much impressed. it was indeed one of the most motivating story i've heard and seen.. cuman sayang nya pas gue nonton filmnya, gue kan udah tau the whole story about seabiscuit dari documentary on tv .. jadinya pas nonton gue udah tau semua kejadiannya bakal gimana. so there were no suprises for me... although i find it that the movie was indeed, very very good.
the story goes back during the Great Depression, a former bicycle repairment, charles howard (jeff bridges), owned a small, knobbly-kneed horse called seabiscuit howard teamed up with half-blind ex-prize fighter red pollard (tobey maguire), who became the horse's jockey, and former "mustang breaker" tom smith (chris cooper), who became the horse's trainer. all of the three guys were connected because of their backgrounds. red was abandoned by his family during the great depression, tom was always a loner and can only communicate with horses, and howard's wife has left him after their son died in a car accident. and seabiscuit was hurting since she lost her baby to be taken away to be trained as horseracer and most trainees don't think of seabiscuit as worth a shot. all of them found connections right away and they fulfill each other to be a better one.
as any drama, this movie has such a great dramatic story, it's even better knowing that this was based on a true story and told as how it was. and believe me, the documentary i saw was just exactly alike except that it doesn't show what they said exactly during the occassions word per word. i'm pretty sure the movie also just made all the wording out but i guess that's what one of the best treats from hollywood movies.... their way to create a good script to make a good movie.
one good quote from the movie:
"you just don't throw life away just because it is banged a little..."
