The Ritz-Carlton hotel sometimes looks like a movie set, because of all the Hollywood celebrity guests who pass through their lobby.

But this past week, it really was a movie set.

For four days, Universal was filming part of "American Wedding," which is the sequel to the sequel of "American Pie."

Jason Biggs, Seann William Scott and Alyson Hannigan are the lead actors and were sighted filming in the ballrooms, the lobby and the beach — and, according to one report, filming one scene butt-naked in the surf.
