As someone who found the original "American Pie" to just be passable, I found this one to be the same way! I think a fault is that a lot of this movie is pretty boring. Still, I think the good outweighed the bad. I especially liked how realistic the film was. I can totally see myself being put in situations like this. We all knew what it was like to be this old (well, at least those who are that old). Pretty much anything with the dad is good. I'm disappointed that they didn't use him more. He's probably the funniest aspect of the whole movie.The joke in the middle might be the best one. I really do appreciate its setup and how silly it is. I was hoping I'd get some goofy gags with this and I did in the end. At worst, these movies are just okay. I really do like the main character and I find him pretty easy to relate to. He probably is the nicest character in the whole bunch, somewhat reminding me of myself, hee hee. Some of the jokes are pretty juvenile, but it does have a fair amount of heart in it. That's weird to say about a raunchy comedy, but I believe it to be true. ***

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.
... View MoreSequels 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.
... View MoreI 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.
