The gang's back—and older, bolder, and more inappropriate than ever
American Pie 5: Stifler’s Reunion (2025) marks the outrageous return of everyone’s favorite troublemaker—Steve Stifler. After years of speculation and quiet whispers in nostalgic corners of the internet, the legendary franchise is back with a fifth installment that fully embraces the madness, mischief, and surprisingly sincere heart that made the original films iconic. This time, it’s Stifler’s turn to bring the band back together—and no one is safe.
Now in his early forties and still clinging to his glory days, Stifler finds himself working a dead-end job, dodging commitment, and living off half-remembered high school stories. But when he receives news that his estranged mother is getting remarried (again), Stifler decides to organize a spontaneous, over-the-top reunion weekend—part revenge, part nostalgia, and all chaos. What starts as a simple gathering of the old gang quickly spirals into an epic weekend filled with botched hookups, ruined tuxedos, emotional confessions, and—of course—warm apple pie.
The film features the return of the core cast, now grappling with midlife crises, divorce, parenthood, and the brutal realization that they are, in fact, the adults in the room. And yet, through all the cringe-worthy antics and brutally awkward situations, the film retains the franchise’s signature blend of raunchy comedy and unexpected heart. Stifler, once the wildcard of the group, becomes its emotional core—wounded, ridiculous, but still fiercely loyal.
Stifler’s Reunion doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not. It leans fully into the absurdity, letting its characters age without losing their edge. The film delivers moments of honest reflection on time, friendship, and legacy, all wrapped in beer-soaked, profanity-laced dialogue that fans will instantly recognize. And yes, there are plenty of callbacks—but they’re earned, not forced.
This isn’t just a sequel. It’s a goodbye letter, a celebration, and a reminder that growing up doesn’t mean giving up who you are. Sometimes, all it takes is one insane weekend to remember who you were—and decide who you still want to be.
