Summary: This Movie is Okay!
Review: I haven't seen the first American Pie movie yet but I watched American Pie 2 with my sister and I thought it was okay and had some funny stuff in it but I don't think it was the funniest raunchy humor type comedy movie I have ever seen and I just don't think it was as raunchy as some of the reviewers who hated the movie claimed. I enjoyed watching the movie and I definitely think it was worth watching but I don't think I will be adding American Pie 2 to my video or DVD collection but since I haven't seen the first movie yet I plan on renting it and if I like it I might add it to my DVD collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: American Pie 2 outdoes American Pie 1
Review: Fantastic movie! :o) Anyone who loved the first, would love the second all the more. With the male hormones out and about, through all their mistakes you laugh and laugh. I have watched this movie many more times... it is one that you can watch over and over and always notice something new. I would reccomend this to anyone with a sense of humor who isn't a "prude" :o)

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: My, my, more American Pie...
Review: I am using "American Pie" in my Popular Culture class so I figured I should check out the sequel. You have to admit that this is not a sequel that tries to produce a carbon copy of the original. The first time around there was the "pact," and for round two there is just an attempt to have a good time during the summer.

The entire cast is back for "American Pie 2" but there are two major differences in terms of the character dynamics. First, this is really "American Pie 2B," with the emphasis on the boys rather than a balance between the sexes. Mena Suvari's Heather is almost down to a cameo and there is only one decent girl talk between Vicky (Tara Reid) and Jessica (Natasha Lyonne) this time around (on the "Rule of 3"). However, there is much more of Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) and everybody knows that there is no way I am going to complain about that. Second, in "American Pie" the focus was clearly on the characters of Jim (Jason Biggs), Oz (Chris Klein) and Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas). But this time around the biggest plot threads have to deal with Jim, Stifler (Seann William Scott), and Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas). That shift along is guaranteed to change the dynamic of the film, because you are never going to be able to take Stifler seriously, or Finch, for that matter.

The reason I am using "American Pie" in class is because I have not made my mind about that film: it starts off proclaiming itself to be a standard film where a bunch of high school boys try to get laid. But then along the way it seems the boys learn about love, or at least there is more to sex than getting laid. But then again, they do get laid. The same principle is at work in this film at well as there are "serious issues." Can Kevin and Vicky just be friends in the aftermath of their breakup? Can Oz and Heather survive her being in Spain for most of the summer? Can Jason make Nadia (Shannon Elizabeth) happy when she shows up to see him at the end of the summer? Can we make it through all the extras on this DVD?

However, the big case study comes in what fans picked as the #1 "American Pie" scene ever, the "lesbian scene," where the boys want to see a couple of young women they think are lesbians. The girls are willing to perform, provided the boys do a little performing themselves. Again, we are back to the quandary: is this a critique of such adolescent libido or an exploitation of the same? Or is it just standard Hollywood marketing? After all there Stifler is still having problems with body liquids and whether he is with another or by himself sex is only one problem after another for Jim. So, you decide. Remember that papers are to be double-spaced and that I am willing to look over outlines before the paper's due date.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A fair sequel...
Review: Man, there are few movie sequels that are as good (or better) than the original movie, but AP 2 is one of them!

I laughed a lot, the general feeling is that the cast is really enjoying themselves and is tuned to the task ahead. Very good indeed.

heard they are preparing a third one (Called AMERICAN WEDDING, I guess). I hope the third part of the "trilogy" be as godd as the frst two movies.

Also, this was a message to the Wayan Brothers, who [messed] up totally the second SCARY MOVIE. It proved that they could have written a better sequel.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Story not as good, but yet funnier than original!
Review: I'm not a big fan of sequels. It's usually a frantic attempt of hollywood to squeeze more big bucks out of a successful first movie, and they usually fail miserably, especially where the story is concerned. American Pie 2 is no exception in regards to the story. It has a pretty flimsy plot, and seems to drag some of the gags on a little too long. However, AP2's gags are even funnier than the original movie! Which, to me, makes AP2 even more enjoyable than the original! After all, when I watch movies such as these, I don't really expect any great stories in them. I only look forward to the laughs, and AP2 delivers superbly!

However, the biggest problem I had with this movie is with a few of the characters. To be precise, the character of Heather, portrayed by Mena Suvari. In the original, she was a main character in the story, and played it brilliantly. In AP2, she's reduced to barely a supporting character, and most of her lines are spoken through phone conversations with "Oz". And what did the producers do to her appearance? She was extremely cute in the original, but in this movie her appearance is less than appealing, and seems to get worse as the movie progresses. I know I'm being a bit picky here, but I had to give a reason why I only gave it 4 out of 5 stars, and this was the main reason.

However, it certainly doesn't take away from the laughs in the movie. If you liked the first movie, you'll love this one. Jason Biggs is the perfect actor to play a guy in which bad and embarrassing things happen to. Eugene Levy as his father is just as funny in this movie as well.

There will be an American Pie 3 (American Wedding), due for release in August 2003. I get a sinking feeling that they should've quit while they were ahead, as half the cast will not be in the 3rd movie. Without all the regular characters, any future sequels can't possibly equal the first 2 movies. But, I could be wrong - after all, I wasn't expecting a lot from AP2.

Recommended to all American Pie fans.

Summary: Big disappointment...
Review: I had great expectations, after watching American pie 1 (which was very very funny). This movie, though... Please don't waste your money, it's just terrible. I'm a big Alyson Hannigan fan, even she coudn't (and didn't) save this movie... What were they thinking? I heard that there will be American Pie 3 (oh, dear Lord, a TRI-logy)... Could it be worse than this one?

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Absolutely terrible
Review: I was so disappointed when I saw this movie. The original American Pie was so funny that I figured the second would be as well.
While on summer vacation, the guys decide to rent a house by the beach. How predictable.. single, college freshman.. house on the beach.. This movie wasn't even funny, it was just dumb.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: If you liked the first one, you'll love this one
Review: I'm a sucker for teen movies and this is sure to please everyone who even mildly enjoyed American Pie 1. Great to see the entire cast (even the monkey and the MILF guys!) back together. Tons of laughs and definately a fun, feel good movie. Can't wait for American Wedding!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not as unforgettable
Review: With the name "American Pie II," the movie sounds as if it will be more of the same hijinks. Instead, we do get a continuation of the guys' lives, but we are watching a maturing in some of the guys, which does not meet our expectation.

This movie tones down the nudity here in the R version. Although the characters still have hang-ups about sex, it is not the same degree we saw in the first movie. All of the same characters appear again, but the women from the first movie don't have the presence of the last, with the exception of Alyson Hannigan's character. It feels as if they were included into the movie as more of an afterthought.

The movie doesn't really offer anything new. The trailers shown on TV show most of the humor for the movie. This is something to watch on cable, but I would not recommend buying it.
