Our take on American Wedding

Jesse Dylan's 2003 romantic comedy finds Jim and Michelle, high school well behind them, rushing toward marriage because Jim's ailing grandmother wants to see him wed. That deadline hands Stifler the perfect pretext to stage an outrageous bachelor party, while Jim's dad keeps dispensing earnest, unwanted advice at every turn. The film leans on the group's familiar chemistry, blending crude set pieces with a soft, sincere streak about growing up and settling down. It's best for viewers already fond of this brand of raunchy ensemble comedy who want cringe-laced gags anchored by genuine affection, and who don't mind sentiment sneaking in beneath the chaos.
