Why you can trust 12DOVE
You are cordially invited to the wedding of American Pie’s sweet underlay and the harder frat gags of Porky’s. Sadly, while this union worked a treat with The 40 Year Old Virgin and Wedding Crashers, the nuptials of in-mourning loser Jason Biggs and the impulsive waitress (Isla Fisher) he’s just met are a disjointed mess.
