I guess you'd really have to love the American Pie series to be excited about this film but, perhaps, some of you are.
You shouldn't be. It's rubbish. Maybe I'm just too cynical or don't have the same connection to the 'original trilogy' but this is such boring, juvenile humour that I found it very difficult to derive any pleasure from the viewing experience.
Still, a lot of people, have enjoyed it so my review only forms one side of the argument.

I've got to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it!
I've seen all Pie movies, which IMHO gradually decreased in quality.
But I remember the impact of the Original one (still have the "uncut" VHS!).
This is (again, my opinion here) on par with the first one.
The thing I like about the films in general is that they have the "gross-out" comedy, but still have a heart and sweetness about them.
As usual Stifler and Jim get most of the laughs and stand-out lines (which isn't surprising, as Jason Biggs and Sean William Scott also produced). but the characters aging is fleshed out nicely.
If you liked any of the other films, I would definitely recommend a viewing ... and watch out for an uncredited cameo from a known actor/actress towards the end ..
Just a mention about the cast at the Q&A, I'm happy to confirm that they all behaved like a bunch of kids, and Jason Biggs seems to be the real-life "Stifler" of the group, as he seemed quite tanked-up and was endearingly sweary and funny.
Jennifer Coolidge is quite the "MILF" in real life as well ...
