Summary: Lewd, crude, and immensely entertaining!
Review: Band Camp Girl 1: "Where'd you put my clarinet?"

Band Camp Girl 2: "Oh, I think I shoved it in your box."

This and many other extreme phrases make "American Pie 2" the funniest and most successful sequel of the year. The entire cast from the first film has returned for another helping of pie that is a basic reheating of the first slice, but still retaining its savored laughs and gross-out humor. The film is laugh-out-loud funny, one of the few summer movies in which you get your money's worth.

The movie picks up a year after the first one left off, as our gang is preparing the celebrate their first summer in college. Their plans: to rent a summer house by a lake and have loads of fun until the summer is over. The plot isn't really structurally different from the first film, though the enemy in this case is divided amongst the five guys in the group.

Jim hasn't learned a thing since losing his virginity before graduating high school, and becomes frantic when he learns that Nadia is coming to pay him a "visit." Desperate for advice on his technique, he goes to "flute fetish" Michelle, who seems to want more than just to give him advice. Kevin has mixed feelings about his past relationship with Vicki, who shows up with sex educator Jessica. Oz and Heather's relationship has blossomed into full bloom, while Stifler is constantly looking for a good lay and arguing with Finch, who is continually obsessing about Stifler's mom.

And there you have it, the basic formula for some of the most hearty laughs of the year. Sure, it can be pretty crude at times, and most of the jokes and gags here mirror those of the first one in their positioning throughout the film. The "pale ale" is replaced with a shower of "champagne," while Jim is seen practicing on a pillow instead of an apple pie. The Internet broadcast is given a new treatment in a sequence involving walkie-talkies that transmit over CB frequencies... you just have to see the film to understand the laughs.

And even more than its predecessor, "American Pie 2" focuses more on sex than anything else, from things like phone sex and rubber toys to the male hormones and how far they'll go to see what they want to see. It's crude, but those of us who know what these characters are going through are able to laugh at their situations.

And underneath it all, the movie still retains some of the wholesome family values and lessons, even if its subject matter is in total contrast. Jim's dad returns to the movie in many places to offer his own personal history of sexual awakening and experimenting, while the cumbersome way in which each character comes to their realization at the film's end gives us a funny yet true lesson on morals and values.

The cast brings the same comical stamina to their roles as in the first film, especially Jason Biggs, who reprises the role of Jim as if he never left it to begin with. His ability to let himself go for the sake of tickling our fancy is a trait he should cherish always. Each cast member, especially those who fill the roles of the males, each embody a college stereotype that is easy to point out, while the females haven't lost their edge.

It won't win any Academy Awards, but "American Pie 2" is for this year what "Scary Movie" was to last year's crowds. It's side-splitting and outrageous, and knows just how to make us laugh in all the right ways. Laugh if you dare, for you may not be able to stop!

Summary: American Pie 2 proves that sequels can be very good!
Review: I love this Movie! American Pie 2 proves that sequels can be as good or better then the original film. It has the same jokes, the same gags, the same well written story like the first one. The guys Jim (Jason Biggs) Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) Oz (Chris Klein) and Finch( Eddie Kaye Thomas) are at another turning point in their lives. This time it is the summer after the freshman year of college. The guys rent a Malibu beach house where they can work summer jobs and party all the time! Shannon Elizabeth plays Nadia, Tara Reid plays Vicky, Natasha Lyonne plays Jessica, Menu Suvari plays Heather. This Movie is a very good example what makes a sequel good! The story is well written! The chemisty between the cast is firm. It is a very sweet and touching movie like first American Pie. I reccomend it very much! If you like this film, Buy it! Highly Reccomended!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Better than the first!
Review: I liked the original american pie and thought that American wedding was horrible, but suprisingly American Pie 2 was the best one! Almost all of the characters you see in the first one have returned. Its basically showing Finch, Jim, Stifler,Kevin & Oz on summer vacation from there first year at college. Some of the best parts in this movie were definitly the glue scene and the tension/ commenting between finch and stifler throughout the movie. In my opinion american pie was the warm up movie and this one was the masterpiece. I'd recommend renting this movie if your looking for a night of commedy, a fun movie to watch with your friends.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Have another slice.. won't you!
Review: You've seen the movies, you know what the Ameican Pie films are all about. A group of young people starting their adult lives. We have seen them in high school in the first one, now college with this second slice of pie. And the third film takes place after their first year of college. Where of course Jim & Michelle plan their wedding. I recommend the entire series. You should go for the unrated versions. The DVD's are loaded with extras. American Pie 2 takes the guys to a lake house for the summer of their lives, where they plan to party and get laid of course. Laugh out loud humor is the result as you get to know the characters a little more. Also one of the funniest moments in the trilogy.. Stifler's golden shower!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny sequel to a teen movie
Review: This is one of the rare movies that lives up to the original. The storyline is slightly different than the original, but it keeps its much-loved comedy. Some scenes are more risque than before, but that's something to respect. Few writers, directors, and producers dare this.

The high school students from the original are now college students who are on summer vacation. Much drama occurs when they rent a summer cabin....with Stifler(Seann William Scott). All wars and attempted sexual acts have their hilarious outtakes. This sequel mostly explores Jim (Jason Biggs) trying to win Nadia's (Shannon Elizabeth) heart in time for a party. Many himulating mistakes teach him where his heart really is.

Those interested in "American Pie 2" are highly recommended to watch the original before watching this. Otherwise, nobody will understand any events. The duo of movies make the best spice for a get-together. Everyone will laugh nonstop.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very funny movie - DVD packed with extras
Review: American Pie 2 is very funny and filled with raunchy humor, although it's arguably not as funny as the original. You really do need to see AP1 to fully appreciate the humor of AP2 as many of the jokes are continuations of jokes from AP1. The main plot concerns what happens when the boys finish their first year of college. They return home and start doing the same things they did before, including going to high school parties. But then they realize that things change, and they all grow and change in funny and believable ways (well, almost all of them grow up).

Unfortunately, two of the most likeable characters/actors from the first film (Chris Klein and Mena Suvari) have small parts and few laughs. Instead, Michelle (one time at band camp...) and Stifler are given larger roles and more laughs.

The DVD is packed with goodies. Casting tapes from AP1 of many of the stars are included and you can definitely see why they got the parts. Outakes and deleted scenes are also included and add much humor. In addition, the 10 funniest scenes (as voted by internet audiences) from AP1 and AP2 are counted down. Several commentary tracks are also included, with several of the stars taking part. These tracks are interesting, but utimately a bit tedious....the stars are quiet for long periods of time and at one point, one of the stars quips, "We really need a director or something here to talk about the technical stuff." Amen!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best out of all three, and that's a promise
Review: the second one promises more laughs, more rated pranks and stunts and even more hillarious acts from jim and the rest of his crazy buddies. This is the best in all three edition and will keep you laghing. Every scene is more funnier than the other and the cast is back. American Pie 2, the best comedy sequel in history.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: American Pie 2 at College.
Review: American Pie was such a smash hit in 1999, the sequel of 2001 is just as good. The five mains guys: Finch, Oz, Stiffler, Kevin and Jim return as college men.

The story starts out with Jim on his last day of his college freshman year. His nerdy father is coming to pick him up and as he walks in Jim's dorm, he's getting laid with a blonde chick. So Jim goes home, Nadia calls him and says she's coming to see him at the end of the summer.

Now, Jim must prepare himself for Nadia because she wants to sleep with him. Now the five guys go out and rent a beach house for the summer to party and meet girls. He doesn't know how good he is in bed so he goes to find the band geek that he got lucky with after prom last year. She tells him he [isn't good]. So she decides to help him out.

Meanwhile, the guys are painters working on a house where two chicks live that Stiffler thinks are lesbians. So see what the guys do to find out. A lot of funny stuff happens here. Now at the end of the summer, the guys have a major blowout and Nadia is here and Jim is ready for her. But now after all the help the band geek gave him, he fell in love with her.

Will he score with Nadia or go for the band geek? Remember Sherman "The Sherminator"? See who he actually gets lucky with. This is the great sequel to first Anerican Pie. It is a must watch.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Effort! Great Effort! Funny as Hell!
Review: American Pie 2, We all saw it coming. Yes we did! I mean with the success that American Pie had American Pie 2 had to make alot of profit. So I watched thinking well they better not *** up this one or American Wedding will be pointless. And they did it, they accomplished the goal of making a good sequel. Say that to yourself, Good Sequel. It doesnt sound right.

Well Jim is back again! With Finch, Kevin, Oz and the Stiffmeister. They all have finished their first year of college and are going on a vacation. They all meet each other up at a reunion at Stifflers house. The party is off the hook! Stiffler gets pissed on it so funny. So Kevin calls his brother a few days later to ask him a few questions, so Kev's brother tells him to rent a house at the beach. At the same time Jim gets a phone call from Nadia. She's in New York and she wants to see him. On the internet again? Cumming early again? NO! He's going to invite her up to the beach house.

They get to the house (the gang (Oz ,Kevin, Finch, Stiffler and Jim)) They get a job there and they have tons and loads of fun they meet a pair of lesbians . They have a party, Jim meets up with Nadia but things DONT go as planned Watch this funny comdey, recommended for all who liked the first.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better Than the First!
Review: Full of lots of belly laughs. I feel it outdid the first. The boys rent a house for the summer while working as house painters to help pay their costs. All leads up to a big end of summer bash for which Nadia is supposed to come. While preparing for Nadia's visit, Jason Biggs' character has to make a few trips to Band Camp to learn how to please Nadia. Meanwhile Jason seems to be falling for his teacher instead.

Also, throughout the movie we keep expecting Stiffler's to make it to the scene. Will she make it? Eugene Levi is hilarious as Jason Bigg's father, imparting his words of wisdom about everything from pleasing a woman to ensuring that his son's private parts will be in working order when Nadia arrives.
