AFTER their lovey dovey antics at band camp, Jim (Jason Biggs) and Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) decide to tie the knot, much to the delight of his long suffering father (Eugene Levy) and best friends Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) and Finch (Eddie Kay Thomas).

Foolishly, Jim allows Stifler (Seann William Scott) to organise his stag night - a decision he will quickly regret as chaos descends in the form of two strippers and Michelle's disapproving and stuffy parents.

Meanwhile, Stifler and Finch ignite a bitter feud to bed Michelle's drop dead gorgeous sister Cadence (January Jones).

The success of American Pie 2 proved that audiences still have a healthy appetite for foul-mouthed teen sex comedies. But after this half-baked second sequel, I think we will definitely have had our fill - there are simply no taboos left to break and at some point, the beleaguered students of East Great Falls High have to grow up.

Now seems as good a time as any.

Screenwriter Adam Herz, who penned the first two American Pie films, spares the characters few blushes as he searches for gross-out nirvana. In the opening five minutes, poor Jim is interrupted, in the midst of an impromptu sex act, by his unsuspecting father.

There is worse, much worse to come mind you, like the deeply unpleasant visual gag involving a chocolate truffle that will delight fans of John Waters. Many of the set-ups are familiar and there aren't as many big laughs in the third film as its predecessors, but the humour simmers pleasantly.

Biggs exudes sweetness and vulnerability as the accident-prone hero and Hannigan's bride is delightful and ditzy. Levy's proud parent continues to dispense well-meaning though clueless advice to his son, and Scott sizzles as the deranged ladies man, who has one thing on his mind - getting Cadence between the sheets.

American Pie: The Wedding is a bittersweet farewell to Jim, Michelle and co. Herz can't possibly drag the boundaries of bad taste any lower without betraying the spirit of the series.

Anyone for another slice of American Pie? No, me neither. Three is quite enough. Bon appetit.
