- 70Village VoiceNick PinkertonVillage VoiceNick PinkertonTaken altogether, the Pie movies offer a cohesive worldview, showing each of life's stages as the setting for fresh-yet-familiar catastrophes, relieved by a belief in sex, however ridiculous it might look, as a restorative force.

- 60Time OutJoshua RothkopfTime OutJoshua RothkopfCall it a strange and unintended benefit, then, that many of these generic characters work better as awkward adults than as teens.
- 60The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe wild card in all this remains Seann William Scott's Steve Stifler, the rampaging id whose indignation at his peers' maturity provides most of the film's real laughs.
- 50Slant MagazineNick SchagerSlant MagazineNick SchagerFunnier than its prior two predecessors, if gratingly awash in demographic-pandering late-'90s alt-rock hits ("Closing Time," "Freshman"), American Reunion flounders with its earnest melodrama.
- 50Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallTampa Bay TimesSteve PersallThe movie's only constant pleasure - heck, the whole franchise's - is Eugene Levy as Jim's dad, widowed and wondering if it's time to date again.
