The thing to know: strong sex and nudity, more than an R usually carries. Beyond that, some violence and frequent strong language.

What is American Wedding about?

With high school a distant memory, Jim and Michelle are getting married — and in a hurry, since Jim's grandmother is sick and wants to see him walk down the aisle — prompting Stifler to throw the ultimate bachelor party. And Jim's dad is reliable as ever, doling out advice no one wants to hear.

Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)

Yes. It lands on a happy note.
