Jennifer Coolidge is reprising her role as ‘Stifler’s Mom’ in Universal’s “American Reunion”.
The actress tells today’s Sunday Herald-Sun here in Melbourne, where she’s performing in a new stand-up show called Yours for the Night, that her hopes are high for the “Pie” sequel.
“Sequels are very tricky but, if this is done the way I think it’s going to be done, It will be a great movie”, she says. “I think they did a really good job on the script.”
In the new film, directed by Hayden Schlossberg and Jon Hurwitz, the graduates of East Great Falls High head home for a reunion – which many of them only find out about thanks to – of course – Facebook.
Coolidge’s on-screen son will again be played by Seann William Scott. In the film Steve ‘Stifler’ is no longer the crude ladies man he was in highschool; in fact, he’s a bit of a loser. Stuck in a dead-end job (where he’s forced to answer to ‘bitch’) and having no luck with the ladies these days, Stifler will be lucky enough to get to the reunion – let alone score with a woman there. A few white lies and one chubby chick later and Stifler may reclaim his mojo.
As for the others? Oz (Chris Klein) has gone ‘Hollywood’, having claimed fame in a reality show; he now lives with money-hungry bimbo Mia in a pricey Malibu mansion; Jim (Jason Biggs) and Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) are married with child – though the ‘YouTube’ sensation (Jim’s dance from the first film is now famous) is close to wandering; Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas) has been traveling the world, doing all sorts of amazing things; and Heather (Mena Suvari), Oz’s ex, is shacked up with a much-older doctor beau. Also returning are Thomas Ian Nicholas as Kevin, Tara Reid as Vicki and Eugene Levy as Jim’s Dad.
New characters in the film include Kara, a hottie highschooler who takes a fancy to Jim (whom she’s known since she was a tot); Marco, Kara’s psycho boyfriend; and Trish, an old band-camp pal of Michelle’s, who now tends bar in one of East Great Falls most popular watering holes.
“American Reunion” is released 2012.
