STIFLER'S MOM WAS UNAVAILABLE FOR COMMENT: Jason Biggs writes for Vulture about what it means to be "the Pie guy." No addressing of the question that I've had about American Reunion--it's well established all these characters graduated in 1999 (indeed, there's a line from Tara Reid in the trailer confirming this).  Is the film set in the past (2009, for their tenth reunion), in the future (2014, for their fifteenth reunion), or did basically the entire graduating class elect to gather for a reunion in 2012, the thirteenth anniversary of their graduate?

  1. The last one.  AVClub review:

    "<span>The occasion: the Class Of 1999’s 13th-anniversary reunion. (Why didn’t they have a 10-year anniversary? It’s glossed over in a line of dialogue.)"</span>

    My class missed the 10-year reunion.  Apparently it was the class president's job to put it on?  I'd never heard that before FB whining amongst my classmates indicated that he'd transgressed.  

    I guess there was an 11-year reunion to make up for it.  It was just one more opportunity for me not to see the people I went to high school with.

  3. I still think there could have been a good American Pie movie about pregnancy and childbirth - American Kid, perhaps?  Not so much a Knocked Up kind of movie, but one that's more about all the funny/gross stuff about having a baby.  Look at all those fluids and noises and whatnot that could have freaked Jim and Michelle out!

    I think a 25th anniversary reunion movie would have been more interesting.

    Yeah, I didn't know about that class president rule until a year or so ago. Ours sure didn't put on our 10th, but she's handily running the 20th arrangements so far.

    In my school the class of 1999 was always the fuckup class that didn't care. I could totally see them skipping 10 and going for a 13th reunion. Except that they did have a tenth. But still.

  8. Since I think our class president is in prison, that might explain why we didn't have a 15th anniversary reunion.
