To the horror of prudes everywhere, American Pie 2 is even funnier than its popular predecessor, pushing the R rating with such unabashed ribaldry that you'll either be appalled or surprised by its defiant celebration of the young-adult male libido. Females will be equally shocked or delighted, because like American Pie this appealing, character-based comedy puts the women in control while offering a front-row view of horny guys in all their dubious glory. Which is to say, American Pie is mostly about sex--or, to be more specific, breasts, genitalia, "potential" lesbianism, blue silicone sex toys, crude methods of seduction, "the rule of three" (just watch the movie), a shower of "champagne," phone sex, tantric sex, and, oh yeah... superglue. In the case of college freshman Jim (Jason Biggs), performance anxiety plagues his upcoming reunion with sexy Czech exchange student Nadia (Shannon Elizabeth), but his buddies from American Pie have a solution: rent a Lake Michigan beach house for the summer, throw wild parties to lure the local "hotties," and score big-time. Beach Party this ain't: blessed with a complete cast reunion from AP1 (including Eugene Levy as Jim's dad), this sequel is anything but innocent, and with the exception of drugs (which are conspicuously absent), pretty much anything goes. The gags are almost nonstop, and director J.B. Rogers (recovering from his debut debacle Say It Isn't So) handles them with laudable precision, allowing his young cast (particularly Biggs, who epitomizes comedic good sportsmanship) to run with lines that most people wouldn't dare utter aloud. The result is a liberating and eminently good-natured comedy that needn't apologize for its one-track mind. --Jeff Shannon

 "Wickedly Funny" January 24, 2010
Terry Richard (Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada)
Budgeted at 30 millions dollars and eventually grossing over 260 million, "Amercian Pie" became a certified hit upon its release in the summer of 2001. The film centers on four best friends who embark on a camp during their first summer after their freshman year at college. Not Oscar worthy by any means, the movie is filled with sex crazed teenagers who drink and simply try to have a good time with hilarious results. Seann William Scott, who had a minor role in the original, steals the film as the funny and foul-mouthed Stifler and Scott would go on to a wonderful movie career because of this role. There are a ton of bonuses on the DVD including a documentary on the making of "American Pie 2", screen tests from the first "American Pie", videos, trailers, outtakes, and more. Even Ebert and Roeper give the movie "Two Thumbs Up". This movie would spawn three other sequels.
As good as the first one. December 5, 2009
I. Zhou (Phoenix, AZ)
It's hilarious. I believe this has become a classic by now. This review is from a person from the young crowd. It has everything you'd want: boobies, sex jokes, etc.
American Pie 2. November 9, 2009
Jose Lopez (Miami,Florida USA)
Again, American Pie returns, same characters, still funny which is surprising and still good. Gross humor,sexual hijinks. Classic Coming of age movie without the annoying chickflick overtones.

After their first year of college, the gang gets back together to relax and have some fun. After a party at Stiflers, that almost exactly resembles the one from the first movie, the gang decides to take their adventures to a beach house and spend the summer there. While they are trying to find jobs and throw beach parties, the boys have some of their own dilemmas at hand they need to deal with. Jim finds out that Nadia is back in the states after she got booted from them after their internet debacle. Jim has only had sex one and half times since that incident though. So to try and get himself prepared for Nadia, he takes on the aid of Michelle, the band geek that rocked his world from a year ago. As she begins to teach him the ways of sexual behavior, they themselves begin to realize that maybe they are more than they think they are to one another. Kevin, after splitting from Vicky, has to get over his feeling for her once she shows up at the house to have fun. Because for her, they are just friends, which is why she now has a new boy in her life. Oz has to deal with a long distance relationship with Heather since she went away for the summer. It doesn't help though that his best friend Stifler is constantly trying to get him to have sex with any girl within a 3 yard radius of them. Speaking of Stifler, he's still coping with the fact that Finch had sex with his mom last year. And Finch is having withdrawals from not being with Stifler's mom.
For the longest time I thought that part 1 was the better of these 2. I seriously think I've been wrong this whole time. After watching these back to back last night, I can whole heartedly tell you I laughed a lot more with part 2. The jokes are better and even raunchier. The embarrassments Jim go through are hilarious (good god the super glue scene). The girls are hotter. And Stifle maybe just a tad over the top, but is still a lot better in part 2. When he grabs that dildo and shakes it while running through that house, I could not stop laughing. And when he says he forgot where he found it cause of all the excitement from when he found it was just hilarious. The lesbian scene was just laugh out loud funny also.
In the end, I would definitely own this. Just remember though, if you aren't into raunchy and crude comedy, just stay away.
P.S. - There is no way any single straight man would have walked out of that light house without having done something with Nadia. Just no way.
better than best January 7, 2009
Anandasubramanian C. Pranat
The first had me laughing all the time.
The second (this one) had me on the floor laughing so hard the neighbor knocked on my door and asked me to pipe down.
I own all 3 movies, and its like bible to me.
Whenever i get sad or am upset or just bored, i sit down to watch them. When my family is away visiting my in-laws and when its a dull hot saturday, i switch on the A/c pop these Gems in and have a great laugh.
Jim is amazing. Stiffler is better. And Finch is unbelievable.
I wish my college were like this.
