Writing partners Jon Hurtwitz and Hayden Schlossberg saw the first American Pie multiple times in theaters during their freshman year of college. Like original Pie screenwriter Adam Herz, the pair would mine their own adolescent adventures to create comedy in the form of the Harold and Kumar series, their big Hollywood breakthrough.
So when Universal Pictures offered Hurtwitz and Schlossberg the keys to the franchise, they two saw this as a chance to create the Pie film they as fans would most want to see. And their first move was to bring the whole gang together.
This is 2012’s AMERICAN REUNION.
The class of ‘99 return to East Great Falls for a high school reunion and find that all of their lives have turned out quite differently than they imagined as teenagers. But some things never change, like friendship, love and uncontrollable sexual urges.
Nick and Scott wrap up this series that no one asked for on another wild episode of FRANCHISOGRAPHY!
