	Family Guy - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The title character is Peter Griffin, an inept blue collar head of a lower-middle class family frequently beset by the consequences of his foolish antics.
		Characters' lives largely revolve around items and ideas of popular culture incorporated into everyday conversation and events.
		Often initiated when a character refers to a past event (accompanied by phrases such as "like that time when...", "I haven't felt like this since...", or "This is worse than the time..."), these sketches are wildly divergent in topic—ranging from classic film scenes to historical events to contemporary television commercials.

	Modamag.com \| American Wedding (Movie Review)
		“American Pie’s” cornerstones have been the gigantic gross-out gags; ranging from Stiffler’s lethal beer-and-semen cocktail in “Pie 1,” to Jim’s hand-to-penis superglue incident in “Pie 2.” Herz seems all too aware of the pressure on him to deliver the ick, and his desire to up the ante in “Wedding” doesn’t pan out.
		Herz is in love with these characters, and it shows, but his attempt to merge every quality that worked in the initial two outings is bungled just a bit, leaving a slight bitter aftertaste to the “Wedding” cake.
		While many characters and situations are altered in “American Wedding,” the largest change to the series comes in the form of Steven Stiffler.

	American Pie by Buscemifan
		American Pie is basically about 4 high school seniors who make a pact to lose their virginity by prom.
		American Pie has a distinct taste from all other teenager movies.
		American Pie is not as all out funny as There's Something about Mary but it is the best comedy I've seen this year.

	Celebrity News - American Dad gets fourth season on Fox
		Variety also points out that signing up American Dad to a fourth season is significant because it will give the series a total of 84 episodes, which means that 20th Century Television can start to package the show for syndication.
		American Dad follows an offbeat family in Langley Falls, Virginia, where the father, Stan Smith, is an overeager CIA agent, who decided to save the alien Roger from the government, as well as a German spy named Klaus, whose brain was transplanted into a goldfish.
		As for the rest of the family, Stan's wife Francine is a typical housewife with dreams of adventure, the daughter Hayley is a liberal do-gooder, always at odds with her father and the son, Steve is an awkward kid making his way through his geeky years, while looking up to his hero, Stan.

	Filmtracks: Dad (James Horner)
		Dad: (James Horner) A story about the self-discovery of an average, modern American family, Dad is another lesson on how to and how not to take care of your parents once they reach the age of senility.
		A busy banker in the big city is forced to take leave to attend to his ailing parents and the "coming together" experience helps heal years of distant relationships and the story shows the audience about how older folks can learn to cope with their illnesses and other age-related problems.
		The opening bars of "Taking Dad Home" feature perhaps the most explosive outburst of emotion, as heard during a pivotal sequence in the film during which Lemmon's character is literally carried out a hospital by his son (Ted Danson) with Hollywood flair (a moment that ruined the film for some critics, it might be added).

	Amazon.co.uk: American Dad - Season 1 [2005]: DVD: Seth MacFarlane,Wendy Schaal,Scott Grimes,Rachael MacFarlane,Dee ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		American Dad is another brilliant show from the makers of family guy.
		American Dad is a sharp, up-to-date, imaginative cartoon rivalling the supremecy of Family Guy's reign of american cartoons, and, whilst not as thick in jokes as some episodes of Family Guy it makes up for it by making jokes on many current affairs and by being brilliantly satirical when it comes to politics in America.
		Also the characters outside the family in American Dad are less, so there is less stories to tell and makes all the jokes weighted upon the family.

	Family Guy / American Dad \| PopMatters Television Review
		MacFarlane calls American Dad "a cross between Family Guy and All in the Family." This may be what he was aiming for, but American Dad is not interested in dealing with topical specifics or Archie-Bunkerish self-doubt.
		Worse, the timetable for studio animation is slow, which means that American Dad's political jokes are dated as soon as they're written (unlike, say, the humor of late night talk shows or the current pace-setter, The Daily Show).
		American Dad, setting itself as politically oriented from the start, doesn't make smart use of the family structure.

	American Beauty: Cinephiles Movie Review
		American Beauty, directed by British theater director Sam Mendes (Cabaret, The Blue Room) and written by Alan Ball, is a film which focuses on a suburban-American family, portraying its characters' dysfunctional relationships as a direct symptom of their dissenting conceptions of beauty.
		As its title implies, the film begs the question "What is American beauty?" and without providing a concrete answer, it explores the endemic problems haunting many contemporary families: consumerism, unemployment, drugs, peer pressure, loneliness, discrimination and violence.
		Having revealed the fatal outcome, what follows is a brief view of the final days of Lester's frustrated life; of his wife Carolyn's (Annette Bening) systematic belittling of him and all things associated with him; and of their daughter's (Thora Birch) overpowering contempt towards both of them.

	The Popkorn Junkie :: American Pie 2
		Following the pattern, "American Pie 2" is good, and it really is-- no coincidence.
		The sequel pretty much uses the same devices: Jim's dad walks in on Jim in an awkward situation; Casey Affleck gives Kevin advice; Jim, Michelle, and Sherman are geeks; the list goes on and on, but for some reason it worked.
		The characters that I liked the most in the first movie were also my favorites in this one.

	American Wedding doesn't appeal
		The guest list for American Wedding could be formidable over the weekend, given the reputation the previous films in the series -- American Pie and American Pie 2 -- have garnered.
		American Wedding revolves around the wedding of Jim (Brigs), the good guy who always seems to mess things up, and his college sweetheart Michelle (Alyson Hannigan), who wants a perfect, picture postcard marriage.
		Among the interesting characters carried in from the previous film is Jim's dense dad (Eugene Levy), who continually dispenses well-meaning but at times clueless advice.

		If your dad has access to a computer, you may want to send him one of the e-cards found on www.champss.org, reinforcing how proud you are of him and reinforcing your support.

	Buy.com - Entertainment Reviews - American Dad, Vol. 2 - DVD
		Unfortunately, it attempts this by simply installing mirror characters in a new town and placing a political spin on everything by making the father an ultra-conservative CIA agent.
		The American Dad/Family Guy bit is assuredly one of four flavors: the self-referential inside joke, the in-your-face shocker, the throwaway pop-culture quip, or the nonsensical sequence that takes way too long.
		The best of the season is early, in an episode entitled "The American Dad After-School Special." Steve's new girlfriend is fat, and Stan hates that so much that he becomes anorexic.

	Henry McCarty: The Wild West's "Billy the Kid" by Joseph Geringer
		American tempers were singed over the recent eradication of George Armstrong Custer and his 7th Cavalry at the Little Big Horn; the white man, brooding the loss, hated anything Indian.
		Incited by the massacre that spilled across the nation's headlines, and taking the two wandering Apaches as nomads, Billy learned later that the soldiery was looking for the man who shot the peaceable people at a time when the district representatives were trying hard to keep the Southwestern border blood-free of racial animosity.
		The murder of an American tourist in Mexico has authorities focused on both sides of the border.

	Flak Magazine: American Wedding, 08-07-03
		That subtle gag evolved directly from the characters and the narrative, which is the opposite of having your story completely switch tracks to set up some far-fetched masturbation scenario.
		Yet American Wedding unmasks something in his character that has been foreshadowed in both preceding films, as if the trilogy was meant to be his all along.
		With a character like Stifler, who is just an act himself, an actor can build many layers into his portrayal, and then reference those layers to show the character's complexity without resorting to overt explanations.

	SPLICEDwire \| "American Wedding" review (2003) Jesse Dylan, Jason Biggs, Alyson Hannigan
		The people behind the "American Pie" franchise seem to be genuinely under the impression that in the course of two gross-out movies audiences looking for lowbrow laughs have actually come to care for the series' one-dimensional characters.
		She crawls under the table to, errr, pleasure him, just as his dad (Eugene Levy) rushes in bringing the ring, which Jim had left at home.
		But as with the first two "American Pie" flicks, this is the kind of movie you see again 10 years later and wonder why you liked it back when you were young and dumb.

	reality blurred + LaKisha Jones out of American Idol, which fakes a live performance by Pink
		Tonight’s in-studio guests were crazy A-list celebrities, including Bill Maher, the cast of the Fantastic 4 sequel, and Simon Cowell’s girlfriend.
		Jessica Alba apparently only bothered to show up to pitch her movie; when LaKisha wandered into the audience to sing her final song, Alba was gone.
		That was kind of ironic because when Ryan first pointed out the Fantastic 4 cast, he introduced them as their characters, and her chair was empty (she plays the invisible woman).

		American Dad, from Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, is the animated story of Stan Smith, who works for the CIA and is constantly on the alert for terrorist activity.
		That's where "American Dad" comes in - an outlet for the makers' exasperation with the state of contemporary America, it pulls no punches in its portrayal of laughable CIA agent Stan and his dysfunctional family.
		The characters of "American Dad" are not nearly as well developed as those of "Family Guy", yet it's emphasis is far more on its satirical.

		Not that American Psycho wasn't fun to write, but it went into a lot of dark places, and I was really angry when I wrote that book.
		There were a lot of autobiographical elements—he had written a book like American Psycho; a character from that book had escaped, quote-unquote, and was wreaking havoc —but it was another guy.
		The characters did a lot of drugs, but personally I've never been interested in exploring drugs and what drugs mean.

	American Pie 2
		American Pie left off, remembering to develop its characters appropriately for the extra year of life and college they now have under their belts, while holding onto the basic character traits that we got to love them for.
		Much to my surprise, Jim’s Dad is handled perfectly, never used out of character, or for anything too outrageous, and he is a pure joy to watch.
		American Pie was the first movie in years to make good comedic use of a monkey.

	INDEPENDENT CRITICS - Review Page
		Because character development is weak, ordinarily dependable actors are left without much to do.
		One of my favorite actors, Robert Duvall, is reduced to a cliche' as the winning obsessed dad...it is such a shallow development that when he changes somewhat towards the end it is completely meaningless.
		The team is filled with actors sort of reminiscent of the "Bad News Bears." It's an odd assortment of boys including the Asian son of a lesbian couple, the token African American boy, a punk, a brain, a kid who eats worms...and, well, you get the point.
