Summary: Boys and Girls, Love and Friendship, Video and Superglue
Review: Whatever the reason may be, "American Pie" was not a big hit in Japan (a shame!). Probably that's why the distributors took liberty to change the title of this sequel into "American Summer Story," but somehow this alternate title capture the spirit of this excellent comedy.The sequel, to our great delight, perfectly maintains its original nature intact. With its dynamite opening (including Jason Biggs and his annoyingly amiable dad Eugene Levy), the film never stops its incredible, extraordinary gags to the end, which include very unique use of superglue. If you're looking for funny moments you experienced while watching Biggs with a slice of pie and his activity on Internet, you will not be disappointed. Seann William Scott again has to undergo very uncomfortable things, and his mom is not forgotten, of course! But greatest pleasure to me is an unexpected twist of the story, which is waiting for Jason Biggs's character Jim and Alyson Hanigan's Michelle. Though "American Pie" is famous for its gross-out gags, kind of those which pervade the comedy movies coming out of America's studios today, the actually good-natured "Pie" is holding very traditional values, and here, between their "Chasing Amy"-like relations, the film shows a clear message about love and sincerity, which was heartily described with the budding love between Chris Klein and Mena Suvari in the original "Pie." It is friendship between the characters that the filmmakers are championing, and that is really the part I love about these films. As is true with every sequel in the history, some characters must be put into minor roles, especailly Mena Suvari, Tara Reid, and Natasha Lyonne, but those players are already visible faces on the big screen, so let's stop complaining. Enjoy it, but don't ever think of drinking beverage while watching it.

Summary: One half baked Pie
Review: My mind has played a trick on me, not that that's a newsworthy event. Halfway through American Pie 2, I thought to myself how much better and funnier the original was. I just looked up my review, and I didn't much like it, for much the same reason I didn't care for the sequel. In both movies, the characters have such a clinical view of sex. The way I see it, if you have neither romance nor passion, the whole subject of sex is pretty tame, not to mention unimportant. Still, this second helping does bring back the original's main asset, which is a bright, talented and likable young cast. They are fun to watch and give the material their best shots. The reason it's not as good is simply that the jokes overall are not very inspired. Since this is a comedy, that's a big problem. Jim [Jason Biggs] and his pals have just finished their first year of college. Now a summer, with its promise of booze, babes and parties, is ahead. One of Jim's friends decides the gang should rent a beach house on Lake Michigan, thus saving them from the horror of spending the summer with their parents. Nadia [Shannon Elizabeth], the exchange student Jim had some very embarrassing moments with live on the Net in the first movie, is traveling in Europe for the summer. She tells him she'll come to see him at the end of summer. Terrified that he will once again not perform up to her expectations, Jim seeks the help of Michelle [Alyson Hannigan], who is now a counselor at a nearby band camp. Michelle, as loony and out there as ever, agrees to 'train' him. Meanwhile, Stifler [Sean Scott Williams] remains a lovable macho idiot, Oz [Chris Klein] is still going with Jessica [Natasha Lyonne], Kevin [Thomas Ian Nichol] is now unhappily single, and Paul [Eddie Kaye Thomas] pines for Stifler's Mom. While Universal Studios was able to reassemble the original cast, which was perhaps contractually obligated to do so, it could not get the writer and the director back. This may explain why the first one is more sophisticated, funnier and and less flawed than the sequel. Jason Biggs is a good actor with a gift for physical comedy. Alyson Hannigan's character, Michelle, is forced to morph into a more normal girl. This change dilutes her part, but Hannigan is still often wickedly funny. Sean William Scott has a field day as Stifler, who has a much larger role this time. In an uncredited role, Jennifer Coolidge returns as Stifler's Mom. Coolidge is one of the best comedic actresses around, and it's too bad she is in just one scene. The cast really is good; in fact, it's more talent than the movie deserves. It gives it an illusion of quality. There are a few scenes that work really well. I admit to laughing out loud during them. Others come off as awkward and underwritten. I found the movie to be rather provincial in its attitude towards sex, but I may simply be too jaded, since the movie was as big a hit overseas as it was here. On the other hand, the term 'provincial' is not one that applies solely to America. The 'controversial' scene in the original involved Jim and a warm apple pie. This time around it is about Jim's close encounter with a tube of super glue. I mention this because, when you see the movie, I want you to answer this question: How on earth did Jim get his shoes back on?

Summary: can i give it a minus 1 rating?
Review: this movie was horrible! part one was so-so; this is just embarassingly bad. i know the whole point of the movie is to give people a few cheap laughs, but honestly, you'd think they could come up with something better than this. it's an hour and a half of two dimensional, stereotypical characters, bad acting, and absolutely stupid jokes. it's a sad, sad day when people are giving THIS a five star rating. if you're the type of person that thought part one was hilarious, chances are you'll enjoy this too.

Summary: 1 star = 1 laugh
Review: this movie was terrible. the dialog seemed as if it was written by a high school student, the plot devices were more than contrived, they were ridiculous. there was 1 good laugh in this movie. it was such a poorly made movie i had no desire to watch the extra features. i just wanted to get the dvd out of my player. thank god i rented this piece of garbage instead of buying it.
if you liked the first one, you may like this. i thought the first one was marginally funny. i personally think i'm too intelligent for this movie. the humor was soporific and generally appeals to the LCD in everyone. it just so happens my LCD is way above most people Highest Common Denominator. whatever.

Summary: Pretty damn funny!
Review: Sequels like this one generally fall flat of the original. Often the spark of what made #1 so good is lost and all you are left with is recycled punchlines. This is not the case with AP2. The laughs are genuine and original. While American Pie had everything to do with the nerdy Jim, AP2 really centers it's energy around Stiffler. Basically, there is a new star in the sequel. A character like Stiffler works so well because he's that friend we all have that annoys us to no end - but you never want to be without him! The only real downside to this movie is the absence of some original characters. Oh, they're all there...but some are really in cameo form. The female leads are almost non-factors. They seem to be there just to pick up the paycheck. Good sequel...but they should end it now before it gets stretched too thin.

Summary: Meets the Hilarity of the First
Review: American Pie 2 defies the rules of sequels. Most sequels don't even come close to being as good as the first but American Pie 2 tops that. This movie was just as good if not better than the first. It keeps the same style humor as the first but thickens the plot on a more mature level. The guys in the movie are now older and instead of just trying to get laid they try to rekindle the relationship they had the previous year before they all left for college. Stifler once again brings his humor with but is given more of a part in this movie making it that much better. Oz and Heather don't get as big of parts in this one but that can be a good thing. I wasn't very impressed with their parts but they do add a more serious note to the movie. Jim as usual finds himself in some of the most embarassing sexual blunders. Kevin is still trying to bring back old times and of course Finch is on a quest to get Stiflers Mom back.
I strongly reccomend this movie you will laugh your histerically.
