Summary: "American Pie 2" is a total delight!
Review: "American Pie 2" is a very hard film to review. Why? Because, on a purely filmmaking level, it is not as good a movie as the first. It has a weaker (almost non-existent) story, almost completely ignores all of the female characters from the first film, and has very little purpose other than to entertain. On the other hand, somehow it manages to be exponentially more fun than the first film, which, although I loved it, was weighed down by its moral that sex is not as good as its cracked up to be, unless it's with someone you love. It is more fun than the first film, more hilariously, gutbustingly funny, and is also one of the few sequels that (1) should not be missed and (2) is a logical extension of the first film. What do I mean by that? This sequel wisely picks up jokes and story threads from the first movie, and reworks and twists them in ways that make them even funnier. One would never guess watching the first film how some throwaway lines and jokes pay off in this second film. More than most sequels, this is a truly a companion movie to the first. Another great idea is how the small, yet extremely popular character of Michelle (the band-camp girl) from the first movie, is expanded into a much fuller, more poignant character in this, the second film. I will guarantee you that, if you have an open mind for humor, and enjoyed the first film, you will have a great time with this movie. Finally a comedy sequel that is equal or better than its predecessor!

Summary: Stiffler
Review: I like AP2 more than the original. If you like the character Stiffler, you will love American Pie 2 more than the original. There is more of Stiffler and Stiffler is funnier than the first. 'Nuff said.

Summary: Not as Funny but still hilarious!
Review: American Pie was a classic and remains one of the funniest movies of the past few years. American Pie 2 is a step down from the original but it is still very funny. All the original cast members are back and it still has the same gross out jokes. They do get a bit old, alot of the jokes are the same jokes we laughed at in the first one. However the cast is so charming that you can't help but laugh at them. Alyson Haningan is by far the best of the bunch, and she gets twice as much screen time in the sequel. I do have to say THANK THE LORD that Tara Reid is not in it as much. She is by far the most annoying of the bunch and has a little to do. Overall I laughed out loud quite a few times and would definetly recommend it.

Summary: Grow Up!!!!
Review: This movie is so sophomoric, you'd swear the characters were in high school - better yet, middle school. They have not advanced intellectually at ALL! This has got to be one of the very worst of sequels, in the same league as that horrendous Scary Movie 2. The first American Pie is a classic of sorts. It seems to work, despite a plot that leans toward the typical teen flick I-want-to-lose-my-virginity scenario that we've seen how many zillions of times? How many movies are they going to make about teenage promiscuity, especially when you consider the rise in adolescent AIDS and other sexually tansmitted diseases??? The people that make this kind of garbage, thinking that it's commercial should be more responsible. These movies mention and show condoms, but not AIDS, syphillis, etc. It's just the sex--and, what about pregnancies? Sex is not simply meant for kicks. I could go on, and on why I hate this kind of junk. This stuff isn't funny -- you laugh at it, not with it -- it's simply crude, crass and obnoxious. This glorification of irresponsible behavior is dangerous. But that's probably giving the movie too much credit. This pie was made with worm-eaten rotten apples. But, I'm sure the fans of the first film will see it. How could you not? The first one, as I pointed out, was surprisingly well done. But, please, keep this trash far away from children!!!

Summary: A sequel that's funnier than the original!
Review: This movie was hilarious! Very rarely is a sequel actually better than the original movie. Especially when it comes to comedies. Well actually I might be wrong. Naked Gun 2 1/2 was pretty good. As was Austin Powers 2. Well whatever. This is a great movie and a must have for any college DVD collection.

Summary: American Pie 2 on DVD
Review: When "American Pie 2" was released on theaters in august 2001, I didnÂ't think twice and I run to my nearest theater and I saw it.
Two weeks ago, I knew that in this website I could pre-order this movie. It was amazing to know that. I think there will be two versions of the movie: the first released will be the unrated version which will contains footage material cut from the theatrical exhibition; and the second one the version who could see in theaters. My decision is declined for the unrated version. I will buy this for two reasons: I got "American Pie: Unrated Version" and I want to see which escenes was censored by the MPAA.
I live in Spain and I donÂ't think the international version of the Universal movie was censored too, because there are a lot of sexual scenes. But some case, I will buy this R version and I compared the theatrical and the DVD .
I know in USA the film was censored but I think that cut scenes
wasnÂ't any trouble to see.
I expect on January 15, 2002, the release of the "American Pie 2: Unrated Version" on DVD in candles.
This second installment of "American Pie" deserves a five stars rate.

Summary: The funniest piece of pie yet...
Review: This has got to be the one of the most funniest movies I have ever seen. It was even better than the first(which is incredible on it's own). It was one of those movies that just keeps you laughing and laughing. The first time I had seen it in the theatre, I missed most of it because the whole audience was laughing so damn much, I couldn't hear. DEFINATELY see this one.

Summary: Not nearly as original as the original.
Review: If you liked American Pie (the original) because it was a somewhat unique comedy, this film will disappoint you. I expected very little when I saw the first film, and came away surprised. It actually had a storyline and wasn't just a string of crude jokes thrown together in a random sequence (what I was expecting). I particularly enjoyed the scenes with Eugene Levy and Jason Biggs - the one that opened the movie literally brought tears to my eyes (of laughter, not joy). American Pie 2? Well, the crude jokes are there, but unlike the original, you can seeing them coming well in advance which takes some of the zing out of them. Case in point: During a party scene, one guy urinates off the balcony onto Stiffler's head. I'm sorry, but the set-up on this gag took so long that if you didn't see it coming 5 minutes in advance, you may be a good candidate for junior college. And unfortunately, most of the other scenes were equally predictable. I started thinking I might be clairvoyant halfway through the the movie I got so good at "predicting" what was going to occur next. Some jokes in the second film ARE truly funny (I did like the scenes from band camp), but the lack of a storyline makes the act of sitting through it a truly unpleasant experience for anyone who isn't under 16 and male. I used to rate movies by the number of times I looked at my watch during the film. I.e., if I sit there for two hours and never once look at my watch, it's a great film. I looked at my watch five times during the 1.5 hours of American Pie 2 - something I haven't done since The Man Who Knew Too Little was in theatres. I want my 90 minutes back.
