    Review preview for American Pie: The Wedding

    Despite Stifler's antics, the film is more sophisticated than you might expect.

    Third installment in the randy boys' saga of sexual misdemeanours, this time in a marital context.
  • Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy (2004)
    Review preview for Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy

    This is what used to be known in the sixth form lavs as bike shed humour - infantile male gags about the female anatomy, genitalia, show-off swaggering and sexual innuendos, so broad they flatten subtlety and boil boob gags until they pop.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 2 out of 5
    TV news channel farce, with bike shed humour and sexist innuendo.

  • For Your Consideration (2006)

    Award ceremony satire from the masters of the mockumentary.
  • Harold & Kumar Get The Munchies (2004)

    Doesn't take itself any more seriously than is necessary to sell itself as a funny stoner flick.

    The Dude · 3.5 out of 5
    Weed, junk food and diarrhoea: can this movie get any funnier?
  • Monster House (2006)
