The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Released in 2001, "American Pie 2," features the characters of the first movie (from 1999) after their freshman year of college, having fun during the summer break, particularly at a beach house where they throw the biggest party ever. I like high school and college comedies and I can see the good in "American Pie 2" (and the first film), like the quality characters, genuinely amusing parts, the fun rockin' soundtrack and the beauty of some of the girls, like Mena Suvari & Lisa Arturo, but there's just too much raunch. The over-the-top sleazy/vulgar parts ruin the good, for me anyway. It's a shame; what a waste. The movie runs 108 minutes and was shot in Malibu, Long Beach, Altadena & Pasadena, CA, as a stand-in for Grand Haven, Michigan. GRADE: C-

The character you love are back together after one year of college. After realizing that Stifler's house is not the best party location, Jim, Kevin, Oz, Finch and Stifler move to a huge beach house for the summer, hoping to have summer to remember. As chaotic hilarity erupts, old flames and confusion about the future arise for the men too, in very feeling manners. Oz deals with a long distance relationship with Heather, Kevin is jealous at Vicki moving on and uncomfortable with the feelings he still has for her, Finch, really wants a future with Stifler's mom and Stifler himself learns about sex after high school. But the central story is Jim preparing himself for Nadia's return. Michelle teaches him how to be a ladies man and fall in love in the process. This is somewhat different from the first. This is one to take seriously, but there is more comedy that is more funny and the general story isn't as strong. But character development is taken one step further and you fall in love with the characters that much more. With character development this strong, stories this nice, and comedy this funny, there is no way one could resist.

I always loved the first American Pie and this was a very good addition to the series. It stars all the original cast who are back for some partying and fun. This movie will always be one of my favorites it is truly hilarious.This movie is about Jim and his friends who go away for a summer to a beach house. The plan for the summer is to party as much as they can and have as much sex as they can( I know what else is new) funny misadventures happen along the way and it really is a fun ride.This movie is really good it had me laughing all the time. The cast does a great job and the writing is hilarious if you are a fan of the first one give this one a watch or even if you a big fan of comedies.

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.
