Summary: Good value for great comedy
Review: The two-pack of American Pie and American Pie 2 is a good value for the money. The bonus material on the DVDs is a nice addition to this collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I couldn't breathe...
Review: These movies are so funny that the first time I saw each of them I laughed so hard I couldn't catch my breath. Sure they are both sophomoric, that is what they are ment to be, no hidden purpose, no message, just laughter. You just have to see the movies, and judge for yourself which one is your favorite, they are both great.

Summary: R-Rated VS. Unrated
Review: This is a great DVD set. It features both classic American Pie movies, widescreen, special editions. Also, they're both Unrated. I should tell you now, if you haven't seen the movies, this review contains some spoilers.

For the first movie, the Unrated and R-Rated versions have so little difference that if you've only seen it once, you probably wouldn't notice. The only difference that stands out is the famous pie scene. I feel, however, the original one was funnier. The cover promises "more pie," while what we see is a different version of pie. There are five seconds of extra Nadia scenes in which she.... uh... pleasures herself. There is more moaning during the Vicky/Kevin scene. The..... stuff... in the beer is clearer (I honestly didn't notice). That's basically it. No, wait! There's a few more pages to the "sex bible."

Doesn't sound like much, does it? Well, it isn't. But, the Unrated version of part two more than makes up for it. There are at least fifteen, repeat: FIFTEEN differences in this. These even include whole new scenes! Part one only had about 10 seconds of extra footage. This one has six minutes. And all the added scenes are really funny! There is a very special one featuring Jim and his dad in the hospital. Also, a bit more in the "lesbian" scene. Stifler boots some kids out of his house, and criticizes (sp?) Oz's choice of girlfriend. There's tons more, but I think I missed some. Believe me, this Unrated one is great!

So, anyway, both are Unrated in this excellent box-set. I don't mind #1 being like that. If I bought them separate, I'd probably just get the Unrated. It has better cover art. But, the one for part two is awesome, and is the only one that should be watched. This is a great set. They're both Collector's Editions. I don't care. The "Ultimate Edition" of part 1 is ridiculous. There's almost nothing new, except some deleted scenes and a full-screen version, and nobody should watch full-screen stuff.

Buy this great set. It's worthy, and you'll watch them over and over again!

Summary: Very Funny - Eugene Levy Steals the show again
Review: This is not like most teen movie sequels (remember Porky's II?) in that it keeps well up to the standards of the first. The gang is all there from the first movie, but here they have left school and we see them going off on holiday after their first term in college. The main four characters decide rent a beach house while... you guessed it, Allyson Hannigan goes off to Band Camp! There are some great moments like when Jim accidentally mixes up a tube of lubricant with a tube of superglue, and well you can guess what happens. The supporting cast is also here, but it's Eugene Levy who really shines. Playing Jim's Dad, he is so incredibly dead-pan in his portrayal of an awkward embarrassed father who wants to do the right thing for his son. He had me rolling off my chair in laughter. Stiffler's Mom also returns, but for a brief cameo, and Allyson Hannigan could also have featured more prominently. The only quibble with the story is that the first movie's premise of a pact between the four guys couldn't really be repeated, but it's a brave attempt and the documentaries included with the DVD show what a lot of fun the cast and crew had making it.
