Summary: American Pie 2 Re-bakes Itself
Review: While it was nice to see "the gang" back together again reprising their roles, it appeared immediately that American Pie 2 was a rehash of the first in lesser grade. Back home for summer from their first year as college students, the gang is out for more ways to get some action - obviously college taught them nothing. Each member is still attached to the previous episode of high school charm and humor. So much so, that they keep bringing up past events as if they would be funny again. I remember thinking as I was watching the film, those were funny moments, but why are they not funny here? I realized they were not funny because they were memories. As the moral of the story later sets in, that one cannot live in the past and cling to memories, so should have the writers considered this when writing the script. I would like to further note that I got the distinct impression that all of the actors held a sense of self-consciousness in thier acting. Most notably Michelle, the band camp girl. It was as if Michelle and the rest of the crew were going through some sort of thespian puberty; highly aware of their popularity and the comradery that they are supposed to have with each other. This did not ring through for me like the first one did. I sensed in the first one they were all true friends, as if they grew up with each other. While in this film, they were getting the job done to get paid and go home. My expectations to laugh uncontrolably may have set my ability to be highly critical of the film, and I really wanted to laugh, however, I felt that all of the humor missed the mark by a few inches. The situational humor versus the "memorial" humor is obviously the key to its success, as the first American Pie demonstrated each moment to be as funny as the next. The sequel proved that the first one is still funny, and also humor needs to take action and not to be remembered.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Disappointing
Review: I was eagerly awaiting the release of this movie, having been in stitches of laughter over the first American Pie movie, and expecting some more of the same.

Well, I got to see the movie, but was quite disappointed. I figure that if you are going to cash in on the fame of the first, you have to expect people to reflect & review.

There was far too much reliance on crass humour, there was too much swearing, and the movie lacked any real flow.

There were a few truly funny moments, but these were few & far between.

Bottom line, watch it on weekly release at the local video store, have a laugh, but save your money something better.

And, if you don't own the first release (American Pie 1), buy it.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: The first pie was fresh - this one is frozen
Review: I enjoyed AP2 but it does not compare to the first one. There were laughs to be had but all the structure was not as tight as it could be and the plot kept on getting lost.

I did love the expansion of Alyson Hannigan's part and Jim's realization that they are more similar than he originally thought. That is what made the DVD worth a purchase rather than a rental.

Mena Suvari only makes a few brief appearances which is a shame. Tara Reid only makes a few brief appearances
which is a blessing. Tara Reid sucks the life out of any scene that she is in. Case in point, her ex and her agree to be friends and he leans in to kiss her - instead of merely doing a "hey, wait, what gives" reaction she acts like a beaten puppy as she whimpers, "Whoa, friends, ...right?" 1/2 the fault of bad acting - 1/2 the fault of weak directing.

I did discover that it was better on second and third viewing because I could enjoy it more on it's own merit and it was allowed to step out of the shadow of AP1.

So in short the cast was pretty solid with the exception of Reid (but she was a small part.) Special attention goes out to Jason Biggs, Alyson Hannigan, and the Jennifer Coolidge's (Stifler's mom) cameo. The directing was rather weak and the story could use tightening. Still, there were several funny moments and a few that were really laugh out loud funny so I do recommend this DVD overall.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Unrated doesn't mean much
Review: American Pie 2 was a hilarious movie. It is very similar to the first movie but what do you expect from a sequel. The plot is very familiar, as are the jokes. The difference comes in that I think that this one was better, unfortunately it came second. Now when it comes to the DVD (unrated) I have a problem with this because I happened to watch the VHS and the DVD both in the same day in fact just an hour or so between each other and there were very few differences. The only thing I noticed different was a few extra jokes that might have been to lewd for the rated version, so if you were looking for better sex scenes or something then think again. The DVD did have a few extra items that come with most DVDs, like deleted scenes (there is a reason they were deleted) and outtakes (these were pretty funny and a gotta see if you have the DVD), the other extras I did not check out because they did not look all that good. So in conclusion, American Pie 2 is a good movie, just do not expect too much from the un-rated version.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: More fodder for the sheep of America
Review: This movie has no plot, a few very good laughs, and lots of the same old sexual inuendo that permeates movies directed at teens and young adults. But that's why the directors do it. They lack the talent, the creative edge, and the flat out ability to create a better movie without resorting to crass and crude sexual matter. Sex is like a generic button that works if you press it on most people. Men are drawn to hot babes and beer swilling frat boys like flies to a porch light.

The bottom line is this: If you're one of the pathetic fat heads to give this movie 5 stars, you are yet another of the mindless zombies sucking on the nipple of American pop-culture, starving your mind of any real intellectual substance, and prefering instead to chew on fluffy mindless garbage like this movie. I weep for the future of America.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AP2 is a riot!
Review: American Pie 2 is a fun flick. It's much more entertaining than the original, which I thought was pretty sleazy. Of course, AP2 has it's share of potty humor, but it's all in good fun.
The whole cast is reunited, but beware - the roles of Mena Suvari and Shannon Elizabeth are essentially reduced to cameos. And Tara Reid looks like death warmed-over. One big bonus is the expansion of the role of Buffy's BandCamp Girl. One minor complaint - a little too much Stifler this time.
All in all, well worth watching. Thumbs up!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Unrated? Where's the extra stuff?
Review: Quite honestly, after seeing the "unrated" version of the first movie (the pie scene's a /bit/ different, for those that don't know, among a few other things), I honestly don't see a whole lot different about this one over the original movie (though I honestly haven't compared them side-by-side); perhaps a slight bit more nudity, but... *shrug*

In any case, this is a GREAT movie that can easily stand on its own without the first (though it does nicely continue the series with all your favorite characters).
