I laughed quite a few times while watching AMERICAN WEDDING, and I’ll be the first to admit it. However, those laughs were generally in response to characters other than Steve Stifler, contrary to what you might hear from other people…

Here, I’m going to attempt to review the triumphant soon-to-be comedy classic JUST MARRIED. I say “attempt” because unlike most of the films I review here on the site, I haven’t actually seen JUST MARRIED…
