Summary: Yes!
Review: When I saw the first movie, I thought it sucked bigtime! Not only because it was just not mature at all, it was just of the not so intelligent nature.

The second movie on the other hand, still has that macho male humour, but does have room for some romantic, and touching moments as well. The movie is so much better than the first movie, that this is in fact the first time I think in my history of movies that a sequal is better than the first movie.
Plenty of laughs, adrenaline pumping music and behaviour, but also with a pinch of romance, and heart which the first movie lacked.

Great movie, with a "parental discression should is advised" note

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BRILLIANT COMEDY!
Review: I went to see this film, not sure if I would like it or not, but it was great, I laughed all the way through to the very end. All the actors are great and the jokes and characters are all so funny in their own ways. I would recommend that you see this film and then pre-order it straight away. One of the best comedys I have ever seen in my life.

Summary: delicious
Review: As a sequel, i expected American Pie 2 to be a poor, dissapointment, oosing with crude jokes. Well, how wrong was i? I havnt seen a better sequel since watchin Jaws2!!! Adam Herz has managed to keep the same cast memebers who delighted the audience back in 1999, in American Pie, therefore maintaining the high, humerous quality of the film. By keeping the same characters, it also enables the audience to relate to the film more and see how well the guys and gals have grown up after their first year as college students.
The film is jam-packed with funny moments and i promise you wont be dissapointed.......really!!! Jims dad is still his old embarrassing self, and you even get to experience the real BANDCAMP.
Great film. It shouldnt be compared to the first.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: For anyone who loved the first
Review: There isn't much to say except if you liked the first you will find the director's did a great job keeping the theme of the first with all new unexpected twists!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: dumb predictable comedy
Review: This Sequel to an OK teen flick was very lame. Every scene was too predictable, especially since they gave most of the plot away in the trailers. I wouldn't pay to see this dud again, there were better comedies playing in the multiplex the same week.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: best movie

Summary: Somewhat recommendable, although ...
Review: I watched this movie two days ago, and it gave me many good laughs, although had some technical failures in it. Many reviewers have erroneously commented that this has no pie in it, but such claim is not true, because a pie is dropped on the floor by Jim's mother in the first scene where Jim's father backed up with all relatives and such people enter Jim's dormitory in the college at an unexpected moment (for Jim). The cast are basically the same as in the first one, but a difference is that most of the women are thrown as mere side-characters. It should be notified that Tara Reid's performance (as Vicky) and Mena Suvari's (as Heather) are far from excellent. It seemed as if Tara Reid has recently experienced some problems in her private life like anorexia, heavy drinking, sleeplessness or various of such, because she was looking tired and had huge bags below her eyes (which they had desperately attempted to cover up with make-up). Well, it's difficult to have women perform as main characters in a teenager-comedy when they get older (Shannon Elizabeth, who plays Nadia, is almost 30). Alyson Hannigan who plays Michelle makes an exception, because she is now more actively in scene than in the first one.
If one has seen the first American Pie, many things are actually quite expected here. One can see lots of scenes where there are heavy kind of analogies with AP1, like the "radio-broadcast" scene here instead of AP1's "internet-broadcast". That's bad analogy, however, because sexually explicit scenes depend much of visual things.
If someone is, for religious reasons or other, offended by things where most of the jokes are based on sex, for those I simply cannot recommend this movie. For those who have seen the first version and want to see how the same actors do it when thrown again together in front of a camera, it's OK.
What about possibility that there will be AP3? If so, the director will have a very difficult task to make it work well and have some sensible plot in it (this is a prediction which can be made after seeing this one).

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Jim, Jim's Dad and Stifler do it again.
Review: The best sequels - eg 'Bride of Frankenstein', 'The Godfather, Part Two', 'Austin Powers - the spy who shagged me', 'Toy Story 2' - are those which confront their status as a sequel, with the related themes of origin, reproduction, succession etc. 'American Pie 2' tells the story of four young men who want the frightening and changing world to stand still, to stay as reassuring as it always was. Likewise, the film doesn't try to move on from the first, but repeats what made that so enjoyable. this isn't a rip-off like most sequels, but a case of form embodying theme.

The main problem for the film is that its makers didn't trust the first film's instincts, and instead constructed it according to market research. This told them that audiences most enjoyed Jim's elaborate set-pieces of sexual embarrassment and Stifler's virile energy, and that the other stories were a little dull. So the first two are given pre-eminence and the other characters are virtually reduced to cameos. The problem with this is that in the first film, the intricate script allowed the four stories to reflect poignantly on each other, to give soul to the gross-out, bathos to the pathos. Here, the film seriously flags whenever Jim or Stifler aren't central. Thankfully, this is most of the time, and if the film's narrative mechanics are disappointingly crude, the set-pieces are squirmingly funny.

Jason Biggs could become the Woody Allen of physical comedy - his body is as eloquent and anguished as the Woodman's words in charting the trials of sexual frustration. Seann William Scott is a joy as ever, his big grin unfailingly, hilariously spewing out everything we shouldn't say but want to. The farce involving the mistaken lesbians is genuinely dangerous, and made the young males in my audience VERY uncomfortable. If the women are mostly sidelined this time, than the wonderful Alyson Hannigan blooms to give this cynical comedy its heart.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: American Pie II
Review: If you liked American Pie, you will love Pie Part two. The embarrassing moments displayed as boys become men are side splittingly hilarious! This movie is a must buy. I laughed from start to finish, you will too. I rated this movie a 5 but I give it a 5++.
