Summary: Second Slice Even More Tasty
Review: I saw American Pie 2 in theatres the first day it opened. I thought they would never top the first film. Boy was I wrong. This second film was even better! The jokes were sicker, the lines were funnier. Everything that worked in the first film seemed to work here and even better. Jim of course humiliates himself once again. Stiffler gets another taste of a special kind of drink and don't forget...Stiffler's Mom! The characters have matured since the first film making them less shallow. It is not all about getting laid anymore. It's more about the values of friendship and growing up.
The film is Rated R for language, strong sexual content, nudity (lesbians) and lots of crude humour!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Terrible
Review: I thought ' comedies ' were supposed to be funny? Somewhere along the way, these movies billing themselves as comedies have failed miserably to live up to the title of ' barely amusing '. I'm not some film snob who can only chuckle at a Woody Allen movie..my faves are anything with Jim Carrey, or anything Farrelly Brother/Kevin Smith/Austin Power-related. These American Pie movies, though..these things have to be the most overrated piles of garbage the studio machine has unleashed in the last few years. OK, the first one i found mildly amusing at times, but sure not the gut-busting, laugh-riot it was billed to be. Apparently there are millions out there who are easily amused, because they made a sequel..and man, what an awful movie. Tired, uninspired..just a bad, unfunny movie. Of course it goes on to make like almost 200 million or something at the box office. For an american movie-going public that makes Rush Hour 2 one of the biggest hits of the year though, this comes as no surprise. Hey, if you love these AP movies, great for you, I'm glad they make you laugh/happy..but damn, those are a pair of bad, overrated, over-hyped movies. Another slice? I think I'll throw up.

Review: Flat. Weak story. Only one funny seen.
Rent it. You'll only watch it once.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Sequal...
Review: This movie has really good laughs. The stars are Jason Biggs, Mena Suvari, Tara Reid, and more of today's most popular actresses and actors. The acting is great and the storyline is hilarious. I was suprised by American Pie 2 because some sequals just don't make the cut. I think the writers pulled it off well and would recommend the film to people who enjoy comedies.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not Only Is The Movie Good....
Review: I think we've all established that American Pie 2 is really funny, although not as rip-roaringly original as the first. It's pure slapstick - jokes, and that's all cool for the demographic it's pointed at. But most impressive of all on this DVD is, suprizingly, the commentary.

The commentary (namely the first one) is absolutely great. It's in-depth and extremely funny. You learn stuff that you never could from just watching the movie and it makes you laugh.

AmPie 2 is a great DVD. Buy it. Now.

Summary: american pie 2--still funny
Review: This movie breaks the rule that sequels can't be as good as the origional. As far as i am concerned i cannot choose between them! In this sequel, the whole gang is back and ready for partying in their beach house. This time the role of Stiffler is expanded and Shannon Elizabeth (who's accent is hard to watch, anyway) and Tara Reid's characters are pushed into the background, making your wonder why they were asked back in the first place. This one has a little more heart and more outrageous gags (blue dildos, phone sex,lesbianism...superglue?) and what rocks about this movie is that the girls take control and exploit the guys libidos for a few laughs. Whatsmore, the extras in this dvd are actually worth looking into. The outtakes are hilarious and it's interesting to see what scenes were deleted. From all of the extras on the dvd, including the aduition tapes of the cast, its made clear that Jason Biggs has pure comedic talent. But i have one question: why isnt Thomas Ian Nicholas(Steven) on the cover?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just as good as the first one!
Review: I just watched this movie tonight and had to comment on it. Some sequels end up being below the original in the series but American Pie 2 is every bit as funny as the first film. Its summer vacation and their freshman year of college is over. The guys decide to rent a beach house for the summer and of course, Stiffler is along for the ride making it a crazy time. Nadia wants to hook up with Jim and he is afraid that he won't be good enough in the sack so he enlists the help of the girl from band camp. This movie ends up really good as all the guys either find love or gets the girl of their dreams. Even the Sherminator gets lucky!

Along the way there are many laughs. The boys and their experience with the two girls in their bedroom is hilarious. From the crazy glue incident to Jim's debut as a band geek, this film keeps you laughing all the way through.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious!
Review: The first American Pie started the trend, but American Pie 2 has even more laughs. And it has retained and amplified one important aspect of the original, a somewhat cornball sentimentality that offers a nice counterbalance to the gross sight gags and pervasive atmosphere of salaciousness.

Jason Biggs continues to throw himself into the most embarrassing of situations with admirable gusto, and the movie hinges on his ability to play Jim's most humiliating shenanigans with an odd but appealing, dogged dignity...even when wearing only his drawers. His comic timing is even better than last time, and the movie's best moments come of his straight-faced delivery. And in this sequel you can see how Alyson Hannigan managed to walk off with the most famous line in the original: Given much more weight in American Pie 2, Hannigan is a delight, playing Michelle's offbeat geekiness but hidden warmth to perfection. And her deadpan delivery (the "trumpet" line is bound to become another classic) is beautiful as always. Shannon Elizabeth is surprisingly lacklustre, and Tara Reid is still stuck with the most boring character of the bunch, but otherwise the rest of the supporting cast (Seann William Scott is especially good, reprising uber-jock Stifler) is great, and the sight and verbal gags come faster and tighter than in the original, with the benefit of familiar characters. The famous central gag (won't give it away) had me belly-laughing for a solid minute, something I haven't done since the first time I saw Clerks.

No, it's not cerebral, nor is it an unprecedented classic. But for a good rowdy night of teen comedy, American Pie 2 hits the spot.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not as charming, but still good fun
Review: As sequels go, this isn't too bad. Most sequels underperform the original by a good margin, but this one falls off only slightly. In many places the comedy in APII is better than the first. However, it is mostly just raunchier. What is missing here is any attempt at creating a plot. The first film had a clear and consistent plot that revolved around "The Pact". It also had a candor about it that was very representative of high school life with all its braggadocio, bravado and hidden insecurities. With the exception of Jim (Jason Biggs) who retains his performance anxiety from the last film, all the innocence is gone from this film and with it much of the charm. Most of the cast members are back, but the cohesiveness is missing along with some of the synergy.

That doesn't mean it is without laughs because outrageous sex skits will always be funny (as long as they don't get too gross, like Scary Movie) and this film has them in abundance. Some miss but most hit. You could see the super glue bit coming a mile away, but it is still hilarious. The phone sex scene isn't. Still, the best scenes in the film are not the raunchy ones, but the sex lessons given to Jim by his friendly band geek Michelle (Alyson Hannigan).

Jason Biggs leads the ensemble with another terrific performance of a guy obsessed with performance. Biggs is the actor with the most nuance in the cast, capable of both outrageous and subtle humor. Shannon Elizabeth is sidelined as the Nadia, being more of an object than an active participant in this film. Chris Klein is also marginalized with very few scenes worth mentioning. Seann William Scott is back as Stifler, more outrageous than ever. This time he goes too far making the character's crudeness and untamed libido so obnoxious that it stops being funny. Eddie Kaye Thomas isn't given much to work with the way Finch is written this time, being more bizarre than comical. Once again, Alyson Hannigan steals the show as Michelle, the queen of band camp. Her wide eyed facial expressions are priceless and her comic timing is impeccable. Hannigan and Biggs have fantastic chemistry and play off one another so well that they could have been a vaudeville act. Eugene Levy is marvelous as Jim's well meaning but hopelessly square dad.

This film meanders a great deal and misses the freshness of the first film, but is still packed with plenty of fun. I rated it a 7/10. For those not offended by crass language and sexually explicit humor, it will probably be a great time.
