Starting point is 00:01:00 Anyway, guys, we're about to get into this wedding, ready for these bells. Johnny, are you ready to get into this American wedding? I'm so ready. Let's walk down the aisle. Let's do this thing. It's time to kiss. Roll the wedding bumper. There you go.
Starting point is 00:01:16 There you go. There you go. Hey. Oh, my goodness. Gracious. American wedding. Absolutely. It was an American wedding.
Starting point is 00:01:28 Craig Perry, too. shouts out. I saw his name come up with the crisis now. He commented on the American Pi 2 video. That was super cool. I mean, you know, I suppose it could be somebody posing as him, but at the same time, that was super cool. Very cool. And, hey, if you're
Starting point is 00:01:43 watching right now, we'd love to hear some more of the stories from the sets of these movies. I hope we got more time to shoot this one. Oh, man. Johnny Boy. We did it. We did it. We've come all this way. We've gone three movies into this American.
Starting point is 00:01:59 grown up together graduated high school we made it for our first year college we did we became adults we got married
Starting point is 00:02:08 Johnny cast list is rolling so now I'm like okay so who's gonna be is there a post credit scene do they have post credit scenes I don't think they do I get the sense
Starting point is 00:02:17 that the Stifler's mom tag would have been a mid or post credits moment but they did it was January Jones and it's like I show wow it wow you know it's funny I almost said it, too, because I thought, I thought it, because I was like, yeah, she's in first class.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Yeah. But it didn't, like, fully click for me. It's so weird. It's like she looks almost the same. And yet there's something about her at this age that just didn't click as, like, quite the same person as, like, you know, when she's on Mad Men or yeah, or in the X-Men. Okay, well, there you go. January Jones. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:02:52 This was great watching American Pie or American Wedding. That's right. This is great. Get it right. Right, damn it. This was great watching American wedding. Before we get into the review, you just want to say, oh, why don't you go on over to rejectation shop.com
Starting point is 00:03:07 so you can get teas like these, like this, and then you get your she-jacks. Hey, oh, they got one just in time for the spooky season. Ooh, they got sweaters, they got shirts. Go get your reject nation stuff. Support your she-jacks. We're doing good things over there. John, what did you think, man?
Starting point is 00:03:23 I mean, this was a lot of fun. This might be the loosest of the three. It's interesting. Like, I'm, I feel I'm going to be chewing on this one because it feels maybe the most kind of all over the place of the three in a sense. I mean, like they're all sort of just, yeah, you're just jumping around in the ensemble and seeing what different relationship and or hijinks, you know, based scenarios people get into. So, you know, it's not like it's a massive departure from what we've come to expect. But yeah, I mean, like with the different shooting style, which I did sort of start. to notice. And I wonder what was maybe else, what else was maybe happening in comedy on TV and in
Starting point is 00:04:03 movies at the time, 2003, this was, right? Because, yeah, I definitely noticed, like, a lot more, like, handheld stuff and a lot more, like, moving camera, like, a lot of more, like, we got the cameraman, like, doing a whip pan and, like, following over here. And, and it was interesting. Like, it just created, like, a slightly different feeling that, uh... One and two. Yeah. And so I'm still sort of chewing on that. I, I didn't, like, dislike the, oh, Ron Trost, I got to do a thing with him on Fangoria's blood and guts, if you can find that in the YouTube outer sphere. But yeah, so you have a slightly different shooting style, which is interesting, which I'm kind of chewing on there. But yeah, I mean, I feel like this one maybe had the most loose grip on, like, different bits being, like, consistent.
Starting point is 00:04:49 Like, I feel like the first two maybe felt at least throughout a little bit more consistently, like the same movie. and like one and two really float into each other. And this one isn't coming as very long after. It's coming like two or three years after part two. So, yeah, I'd say it's definitely the loosest. But, you know, being on this journey with these characters, like it still at least brought me the fun and the joy of, yeah, like, we know.
Starting point is 00:05:18 I guess this one feels more like we're doing the game of the franchise, so to speak, or the game of the franchise is taking form. And it's like, here are more of the best. bits that we're going to have to do and hear some more gross out gags, you know, to kind of build on top of that. But, you know, for the character journey and for, you know, being on the ride and, you know, getting to know these, this ensemble over these films, like, it still made me happy by the end. It still, you know, was really fun. And I still, you know, it still brought some of that, you know, fuzzy feeling that a wedding movie is supposed to have while being, you know, all the
Starting point is 00:05:54 way raunchy and, you know, everything else you've come to. expect. So like I don't know if I would rank it necessarily above the other two, but I had a good time watching it still. And like during a marathon, it's not like I would be like skip, you know, but it does feel maybe a little less sharply defined than the first and second one. But I'd be curious to hear your thoughts, sir. You know, I really like the first one a lot. I think it's still probably my favorite because it was this mixture of the raunch and the heart of what these movies have come to to be you know and we're really becoming dear to the characters to Jim to Finch and Michelle and yeah Michelle and then our other cast of characters especially as a part two
Starting point is 00:06:39 Michelle yeah especially as a part two for sure and I really like the building of their relationships and for me this third one was just missing some of that I think the humor was definitely still there in parts I think for me Finch is still the funniest character of this entire thing this one didn't have as much of like a consistent sense of heart and like knowingness throughout it was like more comedy in a way it was more comedy I was saying it surprised me by having more heart than I had expected yeah it didn't flow as well for me as far as a story and the heart goes but I think it's the story is still the the comedy is still there I think they really turned up Stifler a lot in this movie I think some of his gag works I don't I think a lot of them didn't work for me To be honest with you
Starting point is 00:07:32 But I think Finch is still like A1 for me And very fun to watch He's very fun to watch That actor seems like he's always about to laugh Yeah I think And also the The fact that the other characters were missing
Starting point is 00:07:45 And I think it was The fact that it's the wedding And his other friends are missing And they never address it It felt very odd to me And I was like Why would we know even like it's like a line like say something with a line that is something like i i think they
Starting point is 00:08:00 did obviously like they did um a lot instead you know or in you know lieu of having those other people return but it just yeah by virtue of them not being here it is a little you just i think you just will generally notice the sort of skew in dynamics the change in the ensemble and yeah yeah but you know i still think it's funny you know i like seeing the progression of Jim and like in Michelle's relationship and seeing the fact that they're now you know on this next stage of life
Starting point is 00:08:32 and you know that's great that's beautiful yeah I think just overall this one did not work for me as well as the other two did but I still enjoy seeing these characters and I know that there's like another one as as of recording this there's another one I don't think they were announced
Starting point is 00:08:49 American 5 or anything which if they do because I know the next one's called American Reunion I think if they do make a fifth one, it's called American Funeral. They go to Stifler's Mom's Funeral. Stiffler's Mons' Funeral or Jim's Dad's Funeral. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:09:06 That makes me sad. He'll be the movie a little bit, but then, yeah. He'd be the thing that unite all of them back together. But yeah, this movie was definitely different stylistically from the other two. And it still had that raunch that we come to know and love. Jim's dad is always great. Finch is always great.
Starting point is 00:09:25 I wish Kevin had more to do. Kevin was supportive friend, and that's great. I'm happy he has a friend like that. And I wonder, like I wonder what the circumstances were because they even have that moment where he's about to give the speech and they like, you know, they make the joke. They subvert it by commenting on it and he doesn't make the speech. But part of me then is like, well, his presence generally feels sort of reduced anyway.
Starting point is 00:09:49 I wonder if he was like, I don't want to make you speeches this time. It's like Shannon Elizabeth's going to get naked in the second. second movie and he was like, I don't want to give any more rousing speeches. Yeah, they mentioned the fact they had a girlfriend but they never even showed. They had a girlfriend and they alluded to the fact that him and Tara would be together again at the end of
Starting point is 00:10:07 the second one. Yeah. So I wonder if there's like some major rewrite so they couldn't like get any like get the contracts together. Yeah, I'm just very curious. That's the feeling I walk away from. Yeah. Well, and this one would have been made I feel like when the when the franchise was sort of probably gathering, it's
Starting point is 00:10:23 or still on the momentum of like we a successful part two now we're going into part three so i can imagine also the um it's called the friend of them went to think the gay bar who was the waiter was also great he was a great addition yeah he was really fun and and i mean i think that's i think that plot line kind of speaks to like how the movie feels there you go yeah that's right oz um but what years okay so yeah we went from 99 2001 to 2003 so yeah like they were really pushing these out at the time and i would have to imagine that I don't know
Starting point is 00:10:55 like some of the other supporting actors probably had other jobs or opportunities and probably were at places in their careers to be like I won't come back and do the three we'll go do some other opportunity is kind of what my guess would be
Starting point is 00:11:10 just given again for a lot of these actors I would have to imagine you know this is something of a launch pad for them but also maybe I don't know I I mean, some people seem like they got more opportunities outside of this than others. But, yeah, I thought the guy, the bear guy, like, I think that speaks to kind of how this movie felt overall is like they come up with the plan to go get the dress that Michelle wants.
Starting point is 00:11:40 They fly or they, you know, drive three hours to go there. Okay, so we're on the wedding plot. And then they're like, okay, we have this convoluted scenario through which we have to contact the person to actually make the dress. And we have to charm them or gain their approval in order to do that. And then from there it becomes, you know, like a cartoon. And like this has always been a heightened world. But it's like, you know, okay, we got to get the dress. Okay, well, the dressmaker's place is closing it.
Starting point is 00:12:05 We've got to find the designer. Okay, well, now we're having a dance off. And, you know, we're not realizing we're in a gay bar. So we're doing a bunch of these jokes. Now we're having a dance off. And then the dance off just kind of works. And now the bear character is just here for the rest of the movie, has just sort of joined the ensemble, which I
Starting point is 00:12:21 it handled it like the looseness was still fun and funny, but it is sort of very it didn't feel as like thought out so as to be like sensical as it would have in the previous two. Whereas this one it's like, okay, we have this convoluted mission
Starting point is 00:12:37 to go on and now it's becoming a trope, the dance off and now we have this fun character to go along with who's going to segue us into another, you know, like, kooky hijinks bit, but then who will also just kind be here and be a supportive character. And a lot of stuff like that happens.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Or like Stifler is a football coach. And like it sort of factors in. And it's like interesting, you know, flavor for a couple of scenes. But it's not like fully plugged in the whole time. Like, you know. They reduce the heart and up to the gags. Like stuff like that. All of them really worked.
Starting point is 00:13:10 But you know, yeah. It's like stuff like that in the previous movies, I feel like would feel like it exists once we cut away from it. And here things mostly felt like they existed when we were cut to it. Whereas, like, the rest of the time, the football thing didn't even feel like it existed unless we were cutting to, like, a scene on the football field. When he did that thing at the end, I was like, oh, that's right. He's a coach now. And that, I thought, was, like, a funny opportunity to do, like, a rousing speech that they, you know, they kind of set that joke up and moved on. But, yeah, it's like, I, there was not a lot that I outright disliked or anything like that.
Starting point is 00:13:47 And I think a lot of the bits and gags were charming. but yeah it's just like the most loose and like tenuously tied together in terms of like all the bits and stuff yeah yeah I can definitely say that yeah I think I'm very curious to know like the BTS of the movie and like what was happening behind the scenes
Starting point is 00:14:06 that led to this movie being made because I have some questions interesting well here's the one for your very first question off the dome Chris Klein getting a little trivia stated in an interview with Huff Post that Oz, Vicky, and Heather were not considered for the movie.
Starting point is 00:14:23 What? And that he didn't reprise, refused to reprise his role as many believe. Wow. What the fuck? He was part of the group. He was one of his friends. That's so weird.
Starting point is 00:14:33 That's so weird, dude. This franchise has sort of become, I'm having a great time. This has become the franchise of like, everything I think is the case is apparently not the case. Everything I'm like, well, this couldn't have been in the theatrical cut. Everyone's like, that's that is in fact that's the main part i remember the extra you know it seems like he left i just
Starting point is 00:14:55 imagined because like okay so i was wrong the first two movies at least the first one right is the fact that there is these different all of these characters have these different perspective or these different uh experience based around the same premise right yeah the first one was like okay we all got to get laid and then one of them gets to a relationship one of them's trying to get laid and then other one has like a legacy formed around him and then there's fucking there's a Shermanator. And the second one has like a different one, but it's still sort of a similar thing. And I feel like if we were to have kept that kind of heart meets raunchyness thing going, like Oz and his girlfriend could have been like the married couple. They could have been
Starting point is 00:15:34 like the future version of like what Jim and, um, what's her name? Michelle. Michelle. Or they could be like, oh. And Michelle could have been more of a character too. Well, and or you could do something like where you have Oz and Tara Reed or no Oz and Mina Savari and like they're together but they're like oh damn I didn't think Jim would beat us to getting married and then they have some sort of like what do we actually want to because in the second movie
Starting point is 00:16:00 we thought they would break up and they didn't like you know there's there was interesting stuff to do there and I do agree like as much as I did still have fun and enjoy I do feel like this has less of and I don't even think it's bad that like all the characters are helping out Jim's wedding, but it did, it was still an ensemble movie, but it, yeah, it didn't feel as much
Starting point is 00:16:22 like we were jumping around to each of the different characters, each fully submerged into kind of the same situation. It felt like Jim was kind of in his situation, and good for Jim, that, like, most of the crazy shit in this movie wasn't his fault or, like, that humiliating on his account specifically. But, you know, it's like, you've got kind of Jim over here, and then you've got Stifler, and then you've got kind of everybody else. and uh and was yeah stuff for had more screen time than jane and michelle and it's like it's called american wedding they're the two on the front of the cover yeah michelle is kind of barely a character
Starting point is 00:16:55 in this movie and i feel like she had more to do and more screen time in the last movie than she did in her own wedding movie that is fair yeah yeah i like i thought her presence was very charming i thought the moments with her they're supposed to make you feel fuzzy and emotional like yeah it's like she's great and the moments she appears are great uh and they you know get your super awkward gag out of way in the beginning of the movie but yeah like less time spent with her character less time spent from like the bride's perspective uh so to speak which was kind of a neat thing about the first movie was that even though it was from the perspective mostly of you know your core group of guys you still had like what the girls were going through and you still like got enough you know
Starting point is 00:17:37 the perspective was omnipotent enough that you could cut away from the boys perspective get what the girls are going through and how they're coming of age two, at least a little bit. I like the rounded nature of the sex comedy, and I feel like that was kind of pulled away from this one. Yeah, that's what helped to elevate the first one, whereas this is more like a bunch of wacky stuff. And certainly some things that we predicted to happen didn't happen. And I think that it could have gone, I often think of the Hangover Three in terms of movies where you took a character, everybody thinks is really funny and is a, you know, one of the more, you know, in the group of guys, Stiffler is obviously like the comedy punchline character.
Starting point is 00:18:20 Yeah, he's the Allen. And then in part three, the hangover, they make Allen like the main character. And it's like, to me, it was quite incessant and a great illustration of like how a character is designed to work in small doses
Starting point is 00:18:35 and is quite difficult to make work in large and even, you know, like protagonist's science. doses and here like Stifler maintains his stiffleriness. I feel like you felt like a caricature of Stifler in the first. He's
Starting point is 00:18:50 certainly a cartoon but I at least didn't find his increased focus and presence like aggravating or like man you really lost the charm of this character and I think they easily could
Starting point is 00:19:07 have and I feel like some people probably watch this in do feel that they did but yeah it's like even though he is cartoonier than a lot of the rest of the characters in the movie and even though his screen time is elevated it still was pretty funny and it still
Starting point is 00:19:23 worked and good like that's the thing I think I think it's like despite the aspects of this that like aren't as smooth and well sort of you know put together as the first couple like everybody it's
Starting point is 00:19:36 it's it's thrives on the charm I think it's like instead of the heart it has some heart But it doesn't have as much hard as the first one or even the second quite throughout kind of permeating. I feel like those movies have this sort of, or they gave me this sense of like, I feel like whoever wrote this is kind of, even though there's a lot of gross out humor and there's a lot of cringe and there's a lot of characters who are mean to each other for fun, there was still like a knowing kind of quality, like almost like a big brotherly quality, sentimentally speaking. about those movies. Whereas here, yeah, I feel like
Starting point is 00:20:16 less consistently the heart peeking through and more the charm. Like there's still some... Who's really missing? Casey Affleck. I'm surprised that we never... Yeah, I mean, you know, and it's interesting too
Starting point is 00:20:28 because the second one, you know, when something's becoming a franchise, you're like, okay, we're witnessing the formation of the repeat gags. And yeah, then this one now is sort of an interesting beast because it's like half the things are back
Starting point is 00:20:40 and that includes the gags. It's like you get half the repeat gags and then just you know some other additional gags but yeah it's sort of like oh interesting yeah i thought that that would be somebody we call i didn't even thought of it until now but like with finch and what he's going through and like the whole stifler and the bridesmaids and cadence or whatever her name is yeah you would think that they would have some reason to bring him in i don't know why they by this account they probably just didn't ask you know if you're a uh craig perry if you're watching let us know uh on the first
Starting point is 00:21:12 American Pie film 1999. Eugene Levy was only required for three days of filming. For this sequel he was on set for 35 days. Wow. That's like about the length of the first... Oh, no, no, no, no. How many... Math aside. Yeah, that's a
Starting point is 00:21:28 that's like a full-ass shoot right there. That's a whole month and change. Not bad, Eugene. And I mean, he's not even on screen. I know he's in like a lot of group shots probably, but he's not even on screen dadding a ton. But he's always It's great.
Starting point is 00:21:43 That's great. It's great to have them. Yeah. This is the only film this series where the guys aren't seen eating at dog ears. That's right. The closest reference to the eatery is when Stifler is seen drinking from a dog years cup at the sporting good store. Oh, damn, should have caught that. In a deleted scene, Jim explains Oz's absence from the wedding, saying he was still in Spain with Heather, another absent character.
Starting point is 00:22:06 I would have liked that. I could have used that, maybe. Ooh. Jim, here's one. at an hour, three minutes and 28 seconds into at least whatever cut IMDB is referring to. When Jim is shaving his area
Starting point is 00:22:20 is actually Eddie K. Thomas's feet in the shot. He's the foot stand-in. So, yeah. So all you finch foot fans, you know where to look. Out of all the characters are missing from the film, Nadia is the only one who received an honorable mention. That's right. They did mention
Starting point is 00:22:38 her by name. Wow, not bad. Sean William Scott's agent were reluctant to show the script to the actor, certain he would turn it down. Turns out they were worried for nothing because after he read it, he agreed to do the movie.
Starting point is 00:22:50 A huge part. I'm surprised he would even consider that. I'm fascinated as to like, I would love to know more about this fact because I'm like, yeah, why would they be afraid? Like, was he secretly,
Starting point is 00:23:03 is he secretly one of those actors who's like classically trained and behind the scenes has a British accent and is like, I just want to be doing it. in King Lear, you know? Like,
Starting point is 00:23:15 I'm like, why would you, I'm surprised, it's all. The first and only American Pie film to not, oh, I guess that's a spoiler. Whoops. Uh-oh. But anyway, you know, I'm not going to read the full list, but clearly characters didn't return. The scene where Jim is thanking the guys for everything toward the end of the movie was shot in two different locations. The shot of Finch, Kevin, and Stifler with the building behind them was shot in Los Angeles. in the shot of Jim
Starting point is 00:23:42 and the country club in the background was shot in Half Moon Bay. Wow. Not bad. All right. All right.
Starting point is 00:23:49 In the scene where Michelle hits her head under the table while she is assisting Jim in the opening scene, Alice and Hannigan was actually using her hand
Starting point is 00:23:59 to make the bump noise, but after 30 takes, she couldn't do it anymore due to her hand was in pain and getting very swollen. The crew wound up giving her a rubber mallet
Starting point is 00:24:08 to make the hits on the table. That's some movie magic for you. And apparently Bob Dylan's son directed the movie. What? Director Jesse Dillon, the son of legendary singer, Bob Dylan. Well done, Jesse Dillon. I've seen this guy's face before even.
Starting point is 00:24:24 He looks like another person. That's crazy. That's crazy. He also directed How High with Method Man and Red Man. Let's do this. Jim's dad's first name was never quite defined as it was never used in the bonus footage where the writer explains some unanswered questions. He invents a name for Tim's dad calling him Bullwinkle.
Starting point is 00:24:46 That's so funny. That's good. That's good. And it's the first movie in the series where the Miltz guys, John Cho and Justin Isfeld, are addressed by name, and they just gave the characters their names. They're just John and Justin apparently. Oh, goodness.
Starting point is 00:25:04 Are there any other good ones? There are any other good ones? Let's see. in the event that some or even none of the major players would commit to appearing in the film that writer Adam Hertz was prepared to retail the screenplay as a more conventional wedding romantic comedy and probably give it.
Starting point is 00:25:22 Oh, there was a great fact of it. I think it was like the first one called like low, it was called like low budget teen comedy that you probably hate reading that will make you a lot of money or something like that. So you can just retitle it like an untitled teen wedding movie or young 20 something wedding movie
Starting point is 00:25:42 uh yeah damn interesting stifler's presence in the film I don't know how Andrew and Roxy just do this in a way that's like completely just like wow the dog turd was made of Plato that's a good one I wonder what that was and it's also released the film in the year
Starting point is 00:25:59 2003 when Allison Hannigan got married so there he go had to make it extra weird in real life to be like I'm preparing for her to marry Jason Biggs on screen but also I'm marrying my own husband in real life. Stifler's presence in the film was considerably
Starting point is 00:26:12 beefed up as Sean Williams Scott had mentioned in interviews following American Pie 2 that he wasn't
Starting point is 00:26:16 convinced about returning to the franchise so I guess they beefed him up to convince him to come back
Starting point is 00:26:21 yeah the extended unrated party edition of American wedding was thought of since early
Starting point is 00:26:28 development of the film the filmmakers got together in the script phase figuring out if they can
Starting point is 00:26:32 shoot additional scenes that won't make the cut some additionally Ranshi Bachelor Party footage
Starting point is 00:26:37 was shot exclusively for the unrated DVD, one of those shot for the unrated version of American Wedding was apparently so great. They actually put it in the theatrical cut of the movie.
Starting point is 00:26:47 And one thing I have learned from listening to enough commentaries is that probably in doing that they probably got to keep more than they would have if they hadn't shot that stuff. I bet they like oftentimes a filmmaking hack will be people will be like, just make this
Starting point is 00:27:03 crazier than we intended to use. And so they'll be like, cut those things out. And then we'll get back to like kind of what we were hoping for you know um so for all you overshoot and then trim later apparently this also has two locations in common with frailty the uh the uh oh god the guy bill paxton film from 2001 the huntington library and botanical gardens which is a beautiful place to go yeah and 101 south glassell both uh filming see filming locations for both movies

David Gandy's character in the American Pie movies would be like that none who walks by when a dirty deed is happening. He's like, oh heavens. And then Jason Biggs covers up his crotch or something.
