Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

jacobjohntaylor1 This movie is stinky. It is worst then the first one. It is not funny. It is just pooh pooh. It is trying so hard to shock old people and not even trying to be funny. Boring. That's all it is boring. It almost put to sleep. The original A.m.e.r.i.c.a.n pie was pooh. This one is even worst. It is just stinky stinky stinky pooh. pooh pooh pooh pooh. Such any awful story line. I don't know why people like it. Pooh pooh, pooh pooh, pooh pooh. It is kind of sick at times and that is not a good thing. Pooh pooh, pooh pooh, pooh pooh. Just stinky stinky pooh. Don't see this movie. Just go to part 3. But then again I never saw part 3. The hole franchise could nothing but pooh.

SnoopyStyle The guys reunite after a year of college for their summer vacation. What makes this a good franchise is the friendships. It is more than the average sex romp.Jim (Jason Biggs) is pinning for Nadia (Shannon Elizabeth) and get sex help from Michelle (Alyson Hannigan). Oz (Chris Klein) dutifully waits for Heather (Mena Suvari) who's away in Spain. Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) can't get over Vicky (Tara Reid) who just wants to be friends. Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas) is still obsessed with Stifler's Mom (Jennifer Coolidge). The guys hang out at the beach house and Stifler (Seann William Scott) muscles his way in on the guys.The friendships are paramount in this, but the sex romp makes it memorable. It is impossible to forget the lesbians and the radios. It is funny every time I watch it. Less so is the glue incident. Like the pie incident in the first movie, it doesn't maintain its comedy after the shock value is gone.The production value is improved over the first movie. The parties seem a little bit overblown. I guess when they got a bit more money, they got a few more babes to walk around. The movie is as funny as ever. The shock of some of the pranks isn't as original. However, it's great to see the friendships continue.

Kelan Wood Sequels tend to be weaker than the originals. Even if they are still good movies, they can never recapture the magic that was seen the first time around. That is with a few exceptions. American Pie 2 is one of them. Not only is it funnier than the original but it allows for much more characters development and drama. Kevin's story about not wanting things to change from the way they were is incredibly relatable and and touching, the love story is much sweeter than most of the awful romantic comedies these days and you end up feeling emotionally satisfied by the end. Is it a powerful film? Not at all but the light drama in American Pie 2 really does make it shine. As for the comedy itself, I think what makes it funnier is that we are more familiar with the characters and seeing new things happen to them is very entertaining. Jim's Dad especially has more charisma than he ever has. Overall American Pie 2 is the perfect way to make a gross- out comedy. It almost gets a 10/10 but it's not exactly anything clever or profound so that's why I brought the rating down a notch. If you enjoyed the first than you have to see this movie. If not than it's probably best to stay away.

brando647 I was surprised when I finally saw American PIE 2 and found it to be as funny as the first. I'd assumed it would be a sub-par sequel that needlessly rehashed the original in an attempt to milk it for more profit; in the end, I was only partially right. The film does rehash some material from the original but it adds enough to keep it funny. The film begins at the end of the freshman year of college and the crew from the first film decide to rent a house on Lake Michigan in hopes of having the most memorable summer ever, while each dealing with their own issues. Jim seeks bedroom advice from Michelle in anticipation of Nadia's impending visit. Oz and Heather are made to spend the summer apart while she studies overseas and must overcome the distance to keep their relationship strong. Kevin is forced to cope with Vicky's desire to be "just friends", and Finch spends all summer preparing for his moment with the one that got away...Stifler's mom.This film is directed by the original's first assistant director J. B. Rogers, and I have to give him credit for a decent job. Granted, there are more difficult movies for one to jump into directing with but I've seen so many film sequels picked up by non-directors fail that I commend Rogers for a decent job here. Writer Adam Herz returned to pen the sequel, which allowed for the same sense of humor and understanding of the characters. The film does a great job of bringing back that same raunchy yet occasionally heart-warming humor of the first; at points I almost felt as if the filmmakers were reaching a bit with the gags, but I still found myself laughing.The entire original cast returned for American PIE 2 (which is good because I doubt if it ever would have worked otherwise). Jason Biggs is back in the role that jump-started his career and retains that awkward presence that keeps finding Jim in the worst situations. The rest of the cast don't have as much of a presence, as this film definitely feels like Jim's story, but the supporting characters have some great moments. I loved Eddie Kay Thomas in the film; Finch has taken up Eastern philosophy and tantric studies and he had some of the funniest moments in the film. The absolute best, once again, is Eugene Levy as Jim's dad. He isn't given as much to do this time and pretty much disappears after the first act but Levy is comedy gold. Both of the first American PIE films were some of the best teen raunch comedies in recent years and, as long as you were a fan of the first, you shouldn't have a problem finding something to laugh at this time around.
