15.
This series, following the exploits of Jim (Biggs) and Michelle (Hannigan) through high school, college and, now, their approaching marriage, comes to a close on a high note.
The first of the trio was a surprise hit, the second something of a let-down. But the third film is a good one to close with, funny and full of character as things start to unwind on the road to the big day.
It is a film that wants to please us, and, largely, it does thanks to some strong performances and characters we can relate to and sympathise with.
Biggs and Hannigan are quite excellent as the chief characters - she is the strong female, he the embarrassing male - and there is a particularly good contribution from Scott as the sort of guest we all dread at the big events in our lives.
It's a lot of fun!
