Summary: Funnier than the first..
Review: I definitely thought this second movie was funnier than the first with their little catch phrases and over the top sexual humor. I liked how they were pushing the Stifler character to the limits of homophobia all in the name of seeing some lesbian action. The things some guys will do, huh? :) Anyways, it's a nice little teen movie that again is reminiscent with the old 80's teen sex movies updated to the 21st century. While I know the story centers around the four main guys, it was kinda disappointing not to see more screen time from Mena and the rest of the girls. But, Alysson Hannigan definitely got more character time and was a welcome sight. I always thought she has a nice range of skills in the dramatic and comedic roles.
Anyways, as for the rest of the dvd, we get a full complement of extras from the standard bios, alternate languages, subtitles to the special "Making of..," deleted scenes, outtakes, collection of catch phrases and favorite scenes, and one music video. I found the one included music video kinda disappointing cause AP 2 had some great soundtrack and would have liked to have seen the videos from the other artists as well. They also have four separate commentary tracks from the director, the writer, Jason/Mena/???, and Eddie Kaye Thomas so if you have some spare time you can review the movie with their impressions. Definitely, a nice good humurous movie that'll make you relieve some of the funny parts of your own adolesence.

Summary: Gross-out teen comedy
Review: The big summer sensation a couple of years back was 'American Pie', so before you know it a sequel was released. Here we have Jim (Jason Biggs) again struggling to get the girls and along with friends Chris Klein, Sean William Scott and Alyson Hannigan prepares himself for another meeting with European beauty Nadia. So off they go to a beach house for some fun.

What's good about this movie is that the whole cast of the first movie are all here and the cast is actually very good, especially considering it's a teen movie. Biggs is great as the goofy Jim, Eugene Levy is one of the highlights of the movie as Jim's understanding father and Alyson Hannigan has a bigger role that she plays to great effect. This all helps to make the audience care for the flawed characters on the screen, and isn't it nice to see flawed characters for a change?

Unfortunately though, the humour is purely of the gross-out kind, making you cry out in disgust or nervously laugh at the various embarrassing situations. This all means that it's really just a sweet but effective movie that never quite hits the comic highs of the first. It's certainly not unenjoyable though, is never overly nice and its frank display of adolesence is refreshing.

Summary: 2nd slice not quite as good as the first
Review: The entire cast reunites for this sequel to the '99 original, which as you know, is a rare thing. The only problem is that the film is basically a re tread of the first film. While there are some genuine belly laughs in this installment, it still feels very been there done that. There are plenty of missed opportunities. The plot is just an excuse for everyone to hang out together. I know what some of you are probably thinking, movies like this don't need to rely on a plot per se`, just give us sex jokes. However, I would argue that, one of the best things about the original was that it was able to mix the sex jokes and craziness with something special. At its core the first film also had themes of loyalty and frendship Something not found in many teen comedies today. Sadly, those things, for the most part, were missing in this "piece" of pie.

The DVD offers some pretty good bonus features: The best are the outtakes and the commentaries, which are very light and breezy, as they should be. I sense though that Universal is already planning to release an ultimate edition of AP2 at some point in the future. Anyway, the movie may not be as good as the first one but is still worth a look.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious!
Review: Irreverant comedy at its finest! The sequel was better than the original, and I loved the original! The actors were great, but I was really impressed with Alyson Hannigan in this flick. She was able to make her band geek character funny and deep. I noticed that she appeared in more of the outtakes than any other actor/actress. I look forward to seeing more of her work. This is on my greatest comedy list forever!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: excellent sequel
Review: American Pie 2 was something of a surprise, I didnt expect it to be as hilarious or as intelligently written and directed as the original American Pie. To say I was pleased with the overall movie is understating the fact enormously. After seeing American Pie 2 on the big screen I immediately went home and viewed the original American Pie and found the sequel has faithfully followed on and picked up where the original left us thirsting for more, it doesnt disappoint.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: seriously folks
Review: THIS SEQUEL FLAT OUT SUCKS.

1ST- ..... THERE IS NO PLOT!! THE MOVIE IS GOING NOWHERE BY THE START AND IN THE MIDDLE IT'S SO LOST YOU FEEL LIKE YOU WISH YOU COULD REEDIT THE SCRIPT YOURSELF

2ND ITS NOT FUNNY. IF YOU NEED TO HEAR THAT AGAIN... IT IS NOT FUNNY! I WAS ACTUALLY TRYING TO GET MY SELF TO LAUGH BECAUSE I LOVED THE FIRST OF THIS SERIES. FOR EXAMPLE THE SUPER GLUE PART WAS JUST DEPRESSING AND SAD.

SAVE YOUR MONEY

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great DVD but why unrated?
Review: I saw the movie at the theaters and enjoyed it very much. When I heard there was going to be an unrated version I rented it 1st day. I didn't see anything that was not in the R version. Anyone know what seen made them loss the R?

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Funny, but not as good as the first
Review: American Pie 2 was very crass, adolescent, and simple-minded...which is exactly what made it so funny!

The same type of ribald and slapstick humor that was in the first American Pie is also in the sequel. Many scenes are just as hilarious, if not moreso than the cracks made in the original. The same cast of characters returns, albeit with a year of college under their belts. The guys decide to inhabit a beach house on one of the Great Lakes for the Summer. All manner of lude antics ensue.

The first movie was much more clever and original, but for a good laugh, I'd recommend this movie as well. On the DVD, there are some great bonus features including a bunch of scenes that got cut from the movie, many of which, in my opinion, should have been kept in the final cut!

So in summary, good, but you'll end up enjoying the first American Pie more than this one.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: oh, Jeez, movies have come down to this?
Review: Well, if you think that beat-off jokes, some half naked chicks, horny dudes getting peed on, and makin it look like every kid has nothing on his mind but getting into some chick's (who's supposed to be teenage but looks 25) jeans, this is the movie for you....

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: twice the pie
Review: very funny, very rude and crude , and if college boys in America are all about sex and little else as depicted in this film, then..well, thats too bad...Jim's dad was definately a highlight, and the original cast were all there, less innocent, more daring and more everything they were in the first. At times you might find yourself thinking 'okay..this is too much..'but the film quickly redeems itself when it finds it's heart again and regains some balance . A good helping of something else, like in scenes between Michelle and Jim . overall, a fun excursion for the under thirties.
