Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
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
Synopsis
Bringing back the entire ensemble from the original hit comedy, American Pie 2 finds Jim (Jason Biggs), Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas), Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas), Oz (Chris Klein), and Stifler (Seann William Scott) reunited for the summer after their first year at college. When the boys rent a beach house, even more familiar faces such as Vicky (Tara Reid), Jessica (Natasha Lyonne), and the Sherminator (Chris Owen) begin to appear. Soon Jim discovers that the gorgeous exchange student Nadia (Shannon Elizabeth) will be making a romantic visit, and, in a panic, he heads for band camp to seek sex advice from the flute-playing Michelle (Alyson Hannigan). A worthy follow-up to American Pie, this outrageous and entertaining sequel flaunts even more absurd antics and unlikely couplings. Erotic attempts continue to go awry, and musical instruments still find their way into the most inappropriate places. And once again, Eugene Levy brings down the house as Jim's nerdy yet understanding father. Fans of the first film will not be disappointed.

Format:VHS Tape
This is one of the all time best comedies of recent times. With all the favourites back for a sequel, it doesnt disappoint. With the same humour but more orginal storylines, this is a must see for any movie fan.

Format:DVD
This box-set is of a very high quality, with quite a few extra features on each DVD. However, the quality of the DVD is academic if the films contained on them are bad. Luckily, they are not. Two of the finest depictions of the teenage males quest for sex, they do not dissappoint. The absolute personification of this is Stiffler, who is the funnyest man in the films. His crudeness is a joy to watch, and I recommend everybody looking at this review to buy, and enjoy!

Format:DVD
I watched this film having seen the first American Pie and I thought it had reached a whole new level. It was so funny I don't think there was a part of it to which I wasn't in tears. Good film who anyone can appreciate I think. Fun and frolics with some dirty bits but what would a film be without these? Definitely has to be watched. Funny for elders and youngsters a good blend of commedy and also romance.

not as funny as the first film
American Pie 2 wasn't as funny as the first Pie movie (how could you top a guy getting caught by his dad having intimate relations with an apple pie!). Read more

It usually a given fact that sequels are never as good as the original film and unfortunately with American Pie 2 this is very much the case. Read more

Treat yourself to a second slice of American Pie
It was never going to be easy for the American Pie team to come up with a sequel that matched the appeal of the first, but this is a decent effort nonetheless. Read more
