Summary: SEQUEL RIVALS ORIGINAL, TAKES SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT TURNS
Review: (Slight spoiler of previous movie)
The surprise hit American Pie had some surprising comic substance that appealed to some who had expected the premise to imply an impalatable dose of "raunchiness". But the first movie did focus heavily on light comedy. Its most uncomfortable thing for me was the fact that the jock among the main characters was the one to apparently win true love in the course of the movie. In light of serious questions about adulation of jocks (in, for example, the wake of the Columbine School disaster) I thought any movie should give the issue some thought, not just casually invoking stock outcomes. The jock as winner syndrome therein, was it without conscious planning? Or was it supposed to be realism? If the latter, who really wants or needs realism in a thoroughly irreverent light comedy? But the sequel deos take different turns, possibly explaining why there might have been a hint of realism in the original - a possible explanantion, though I'm not saying a completely adequate resolution of my one main problem with the original. Anyhow, this sequel follows the continuing adventures of the main characters we met in the first film. Although comedy still abounds, there's some serious drama here, even some taking on of a more somber tone. As some of the characters mature, there's a bit of nostalgia about how their wildly adventurous high school days are over. Their outcomes are not always what the audience expected or necessarily hoped for. Some other characters may seem to mature little if at all. Those two contrasting situations may indeed be a dose of realism. And that as well as the jock as winner syndrome early on in the first movie may form part of an overall perspective of realism when we see the two movies collectively. Was that all planned in advance? I'm not sure how that generally works. Are sequels generally an afterthought or part of a complete story palnned from the start?

Summary: Fun and lighthearted! I highly recommend!
Review: This sequel does not dissapoint. It's funny, outrageous and just as silly as the first. These characters continue to develope into lively people you wish you had the oppertunity to party with. The plot builds on hilarious situations and leaves the audience laughing. If you want a good laugh, a funny story, crazy characters that make you giggle, and a fast paced comedy of errrors, pick this up. It'll brighten a dull day.

Summary: Cashing in
Review: American Pie 2 is more of the same, but in this case that is all I wanted. I liked the first one enough that a second "helping" was warranted in my eyes. It's all awkward situations and insane predicaments that only the most clumsy or insane would get involved in. The whole cast returns as was probably written in their contracts for the first one. The "gross-out" humor is in full-effect, but it isn't as flagrantly rancid as the first one. But bodily fluids still play a prominent role. It's funny and entertaining throughout, with a few memorable one-liners. The plot isn't as strong as the first one, it plays out just as a summer filled with sex and mischief with no point which isn't really a problem I guess. The one extremely troubling thing is that it seems the studio really wanted to sell a soundtrack or two, so many scenes have music playing over them so loud that took me out of movie completely, but it's a minor gripe. You know what to expect.

Summary: Hilarious
Review: With just as many (maybe more) zany hijinks as the first "American Pie" 2 will get you laughing! If you liked the first then you will love AP2.

Summary: Your second piece is even better!!!
Review: What can I say...this movie is great!! A year has passed since prom and the summer has arrived...this means fun fun fun!
The same cast come together for the trip of a lifetime at the lake..cue outrageous goings on and non stop laughter. Although they have all moved on in life, they are all the same sexually frustrated people who left high school a year ago. Stifler has not changed one bit...he's even more ready to spread himself among young girls. Jim is back to his normal self...making a fool of himself with unusual scenerios which often lead to total humiliation..but this summer things start to change for the better. Oz remains in love with Heather and battles a whole summer without her...cue interesting phone conversations!! And Finch...still obsessed with the one and only Stiflers Mom. Lots of funnny moments and even more outrageous goings on. Many people thought AP2 would not satisfy but hey I think its great!
Keep going back for seconds..you know you can't resist!

Summary: A Better Pie
Review: American Pie 2 was an excellent sequel to the first American Pie movie. The story is pretty simple. Everyone's now in College, and for the Summer Vacation, the guys try to make it the best one Ever!
To me AP2 is even better than the first. American Pie contained more of the everyday sexual encounters that teenage comedies now have. When I saw the first movie I wasn't really up for it because I already knew what was going to happen (except for the bedroom part). But, For American Pie 2, I was really surprised that even though it still had sexual situations (which I thought was even funnier that the first) it also had heart.
It really made me realise that the characters have grown up and are taking things a bit more seriously. From their relationship with friends and family.
This Second Pie is totally a must-see to anyone who's seen the first.

Summary: Sucked Beyond Sucking
Review: All I have to say is that this movie sucked. I liked the first one. However, this one was one of the worst films I have seen in a long time.

Rating:
Summary: Bad plot, bad acting, boring, etc...Just plain bad!!
Review: Why do people make bad movies like American Pie 2? Must be because dopey people keep going to see and buying bad movies! This one isn't only boring, it is just plain dumb. The first one was just "ok" but the second one is really bad! Please save your money.

Summary: Solid Sequel
Review: This movie may not be as uproariously funny as the original but it does seem to have more to say. Instead of being about a bunch of guys trying to get laid, this movie, at times, explores becoming an adult after high school. It's a fitting compliment to the first without trying to outdo it which would have been nearly impossible.

Summary: Far too funny!
Review: Well, I have to say that this was one of the funniest movies that I've seen in a very long time. The humor in the sequel is a bit different from the original in that there's a lot more physical humor (slapstick style), but I thought that it made the movie just as funny, if not funnier than the original. The sequel also seems to have a lot more thought put in it than the first - the plot seems a bit deeper (yeah, i know, go to american pie if you want a deep plot, right?) - at least a bit more mature than the first one. But hey, they've grown up a little, so we expect that from them right. And hey, Stiffler's mom makes another cameo! I think it was totally worth seeing, and I've already bought the DVD!
