American Pie 2

Plot synopsis:
After their first year at different colleges, the guys reunite once again and plan their summer. Looking for a good idea, Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) turns to his brother (Casey Afleck) for advices. His brother suggest spending summer in a beach house and throw a bunch of parties with the last one being the biggest. All 4 friends agree but soon realise that they're gonna need an extra man to invest too. Stifler (Sean William Scott), the oversexed college clown gets invited along by Kevin.After arriving in Grand Harbor they manage to find work painting a house (based on the Tuition Painters franchise) in the area together. Because the owners of the house are two hot women, Stifler assumes they're lesbians. When the women leave the house, Stifler goes in to try and find proofs. Unfortunately, the women return quickly and find the guys hidden in the house. Instead of calling the cops, they decide to make fun of the guys. Jim (Jason Biggs), Stifler and Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas) end up performing "like for like" sexual acts on each other in return for being able to watch the girls doing the same thing. Meanwhile, Oz (Chris Klein) and Kevin take turns watching up a ladder and listening on the walkie-talkie also in the room. The conversation is accidentally picked up and heard by many other people in the neighborhood. The whole thing ends when the girls offer to have sex in front of them if the guys will go down on each other. Stifler accepts but Jim and Finch just run away.After this, many concurrent stories run at the same time, some interacting with each other, other staying mainly separate.Jim learns that Nadia (Shannon Elizabeth), his high school crush from the first American Pie film, is coming to visit him in August. Nervous and insecure about his sex skills, and wanting to impress Nadia and make sure she forgets about his poor performance in the first movie, Jim seeks out Michelle (Alyson Hannigan), the band geek, to ask for a review on his performance with her. He finds her at band camp and makes a fool out of himself in front of the audience when he pretends to be Petey, a mentally challenged boy who plays the trombone. Michelle reveals that Jim wasn't really good but also offers to teach him how to get better. At night, Jim tries to watch a porno but ends up mistaking a tube of lube with a tube of super glue, gluing his hand to his penis. After going to the hospital, Jim learns he shouldn't use his penis for a few weeks. Not long after, Nadia shows up a few weeks in advance and obviously looking to get naughty with Jim. Jim doesn't want to reveal what happened and search for an excuse to keep Nadia away for a while so he can heal. He turns to Michelle. They pretend to be in a relationship so that Nadia will not expect Jim to have sex with her. Meanwhile, Michelle teaches Jim a few tricks to be a good lover. When Jim realises he's ready for sex again, he and Michelle breaks up in front of Nadia in an over-the-top fashion. As soon as Michelle closes the door of the house, it is revealed that she had developped real feelings for Jim. Soon after, Jim realises that he has fallen for Michelle too. Even Nadia realizes this and tells him, "Go, get your band geek, and I will find mine". Jim goes and plays the trombone once more whilst Michelle is playing the flute at a major recital in order to show her that she is the one he wants to be with. He returns to the big party with Michelle as his official girlfriend.Oz is lonely, being away from his girlfriend Heather (Mena Suvari) who is studying in Spain. To work out their mutual sexual frustrations from being away from each other, they proceed to start having phone sex. Unfortunately, they are interrupted by Heather's roomates the first time. And by Stifler very undiscreetly listening to the conversation the second time. They both resign themselves to wait for Heather's return. Unable to wait any longer, Heather grabs an earlier flight and surpises Oz at the party.Finch has become involved in the sexual art of Tantra, and claims that through Tantra he can "make an orgasm last for days". He is waiting for Stifler's Mom (Jennifer Coolidge), whom he had sex with in the first film, hoping she will show up and be willing to do it again. When Stifler is talking on the phone and seems to invite someone to their house, Finch assumes it's Stifler's mom, but it turns out to be his little brother Matt (Eli Marienthal), the star of later films. Finch is frustrated, but accept his fate. He spends the big party surrounded by girls and chatting with them. Even though he doesn't get any action, he seems happy.Matt, Stifler's brother, is having a lousy night at his brother's party when Stifler gives him a walkie-talkie and throws him outside to look out for cops. Being bored, he starts playing with the talkie, not knowing that one of the talkies is still at the ''lesbians" house. The girls starts answering Matt. The conversation is not revealed, but Matt shows up at the party with both girls at his arms. Stifler makes fun of him for getting lesbians untill one them says: "Who said we're lesbians?". Stifler understands they're not lesbians and begs to have sex with them. The girls agree. Stifler allows his brother back in the party and leaves with both women.Meanwhile, Kevin spends most of his time trying to understand the new terms of his relationship with his ex-girlfriend, Vicky (Tara Reid), as just friends. He doesn't end up "getting off" with anyone, but he does seem to succeed in getting over her.The geeky Sherman (Chris Owen) gives up on getting anyone after he is turned down by the experienced and savvy Jessica (Natasha Lyonne). In his depressed state, he starts a conversation with Nadia who has just let Jim go. While talking, she finds herself turned on by his "Sherminator" gimmick, and they run together to have sex somewhere.The morning after the big party, the guys are packing the car to return home when a car stops by. Driving the car is Stifler's mom. Finch exchange a few words with her and jumps in the car. They drive off together, unbeknownst to Stifler who just sees the car driving away. When Stifler realises that Finch is missing he finally understands what just happened.

Review:
I'll be first to admit that I hate teen comedies in general and typically frown upon most of them - I didn't even like "There's Something About Mary" too much, although I'm not sure it's really a "teen" film.I own all three "American Pie" films on DVD because they are one of the few teen series whose characters seem real and you actually feel empathy for.
"American Pie" is better, one of the best of its genre.Everyone seems to hate the first sequel, which was released in 2001, a couple years after the original.
(The third is probably my favorite, if only for the focus on Stiffler and the introduction of Fred Willard, one of the great character actors of our time.) "American Pie 2" is somewhat recycled and some people may find it one of those "pointless" sequels, but I liked it, and this is coming from a guy who typically loathes these films - so considering I'm giving this seven stars, that says quite a lot.
What could have easily been a pointless, unnecessary sequel actually manages to be something fresh, funny and appealing.As with the original the Jason Biggs character of Jim is the glue holding the film together.
Where in the original film each of the main male characters came with his own romantic storyline this time around Jim takes center stage.
I'm always going to hold the "American Pie" movies several notches above the standard gross-out teen comedies, because they have zest and originality.
This said it is a great sequel that simply picks up where the last film left off, it retains all the characters from the first film and places them in equally embarrassing and hilarious situations.Slick, funny and entertainingIf you've missed it, then check it out, but see American Pie firstIf you like it then see 'Road Trip' and 'Old School' as well8/10.
I didn't watch the first "American Pie" (1999) film but I know the story: 4 students who are eager to lose their virginity before leaving high school.
Number three (American Wedding) loses most of the actors with strong outside careers, but frankly, is a better film.On the positive side, while this movie is lackluster, it is not a painful sort of flop.
As I noted in my review of the first movie, this movie is hilarious by itself but better in the movie series.The first movie helps to set up the characters, brings us a lot of humor, and can truly be watched by itself without seeing any of the sequels.But, to truly get the most out of the three movies (I don't count the direct to DVD movies that came out later), it's best to see each of them in order.The first movie has our characters as young and still fairly stupid as far as life is concerned.
They learn a bit at the end, grow a bit, and we all get to go along for the funny ride.This movie has at least one of the group (no spoilers, just see it) already maturing from his role in the first movie and the rest of the characters either resisting the call to adulthood or working their way through their own twisty hilarious paths to maturity.Again, if you are going to see them, I strongly recommend watching them in the order that they came out in so that you can not only enjoy the humor in each, but so that you can notice that the characters are growing into adults throughout the series, ending in the American Wedding movie..
It is a great fun to watch this, and proudly to say that it is still up to its standard.Reason To Watch: · It is American Pie sequel (so it funny by nature), · Still got all the gangs member, · Great SoundtrackReason Not To: · NoneRating: 9/10 (Grade: A+).
From Stifler's mom to parents catching Jim in personal moments, the sequel steals, er, "borrows" from American Pie 1 without a second thought.The result?
Finch is annoying as ever, constantly speaking like he is 50- not in a funny way- but in a really bothersome way that sees him featured for a good part of the movie when he is better as a supporting character- a very small supporting character.
Out of all of the scenes in the movie the audience has definitely seen that before.AND YET, between the predictable script, the rerun jokes, the low brow bail out humor (guys kissing, football down low, little kid swearing, monkey drinking alcohol), and the painful acting of Jason Biggs, American pie 2 will somehow make a lot of money.
I saw a few comments made about this movie.When I think that peoples actualy pays $12.00 to see this crap,it is sad.That's what it cost here in Canada to see a movie.I'm one of the lucky ones I bought this crap for $3.99.The first one was good and funny.This one the jokes are bad and for nudity you get a flash of breasts for about 20 seconds and thats it.They did brought bad the original cast but I don't know why.Jim character and Michelle are the only ones that has value in this movie.Tara Reid Shannon Elizabeth and Mena Suvari are useless in this,when I think they got paid for this,that's not good the money could had been use for something a lot more better than this movie.Shannon Elizabeth shine in the first one but in this one you ask yourself what the hell she suppose to do do in this movie you see her for about 5 minutes and with a bad accent on top of that.Please do not compare this bad movie with the likes of Porky this is an insult.So if you this title American Pie 2 Stay Away.Bad very Bad Movie..
Especially when Stifler, Finch and Jim become more close to each other than they ever want to be and when Jim mistakes super glue for lubricant.When the 'American Pie' gang returns, everyone knows that they will be expecting gross out humour and wild characters, and this movie doesn't disappoint.
Well talk about the biggest and most blatant bit of squeezing as much money out of a franchise.Yes, yes the original ended set up for a sequel with...."To the next step!"But still, they got what they wanted and went to college!THE ENDBut it wasn't, more of the same stuff occured and that was all well and good!This film again was made good by Sean William Scott and Jason Biggs as Stifler and Jim..
sequels did and this is really sad as they surely had a chance to follow up the last film better than this.Don't see it if you have seen the first installment, you will get bored to death by the endless references to every single funny scene from it and by the lame attempts to repeat it.
"American Pie" was a dopey movie but did surprisingly well at the box office as it had a few good laughs milked from the antics of hormonally beset teens.
With some thought and wit the movie would have had some promise (or what passes for such in this genre anyway), but the film was just carelessly thrown together, apparently based primarily on which of the original cast members had the two days to spare for filming; (Mena Suvari, who went on to stardom through "American Beauty" seems to have had only an hour or so to read some lines and might as well not have been there at all- the same goes for her "boyfriend who served essentially as a prop in this movie).What the "pie scene" was to AP1, the "super glue" scene is for AP2.
Consequently all the jokes are sex based.This starts really slowly - the first 20 minutes of so is all setting the scene, re-introducing the characters to us and one another and filling in background it almost feels like they didn't know what to do with the film and that it took 20 min for them to think up something.
American Pie 2 is not only a hilarious sex comedy but it is also an example of creative film making and great writing.
This is one of the best and funniest movie i have ever seen in my whole life..Movie is totally fun and one of the bestest scene ever.The scene at lesbians house was so funny that i watched it with non stop laugh.Incredible fun and totally straight and clear story is.i loved the whole movie,man.I watched American pie 1 yesterday and it was less than this.this one is more funnier and best than ever.The stifles is insane..in every scene he just nailed in and the guy finch :D is totally a nerd.I loved it, man.totally fun and Awesome movie.Father of jim :D "My son glued his hands into his penis,Do you have a penis?
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 second instalment in the American Pie series, American Pie 2 may lack the freshness of its predecessor and its story may be even more uninspired & inferior in content than before but it's still an unabashedly funny, rip-roaringly hilarious & downright amusing ride that has all the crude elements that made the previous one click.Picking up one year after the events that transpired in the first film, American Pie 2 follows Jim, Kevin, Oz, Finch & Stifler as they regroup after their first year of college to spend the summer together at a beach house, where they are looking forward to hosting the greatest summer party ever.
There are a couple of truly memorable moments, the pacing is fine, and the performances from its reprising cast is fairly good.On an overall scale, American Pie 2 was probably crafted just to cash in on the success of the original and its inferiority in nearly every filmmaking department suggests the same but it also retains the raunchy humour, gives the Stifler character an added screen time which is a welcome move, and manages to be an enjoyable, entertaining & satisfying sequel for the most part, if not all the way through..
And now we watch all the friends return to their homes after their first year in college.I believe that the first one was a little bit better than the second but these two movies are equally hilarious.
I also liked for one more time the interpretations of Jason Biggs and Seann William Scott who were fantastic and from girls I liked the interpretations of Alyson Hannigan and Shannon Elizabeth.Lastly I have to say that "American Pie 2" is a great comedy movie which shows us many true things about life..
American Pie 2 (2001) ** (out of 4) The four buddies (and Stifler) from the first film are a year into college and decide to have fun during the summer so they go to a beach house where they plan on throwing a major party.
American PIE 2 is your typical "Hollywood does something right and then screws it up." The original film was a very funny, smart and rather vulgar comedy that became a huge hit so of course another film was rushed into production and like so many sequels this film is just a watered down version of the first.
There's certainly some funny moments scattered throughout the film but considering how good the first movie was there's simply no way to view this thing as nothing more than a failure..
American Pie 2 is one of the few comedy sequels I've seen that efficiently redoes what the original paved out, yet still includes that new movie smell.The plot revolves around the same bunch of characters we loved in the first film, only this time they're not naive high school Seniors days away from graduating, but less naive College kids on summer break.
There is also a scene involving urine which isn't very funny, but we're thrilled to see these characters back again, cherishing and embracing each of their sitcom personas.Like in the original film, there is a nice blend of sweetness and wit to compliment a lot of the gross antics, making for a nice hybrid.
This is an excellent sequel to the hillarius American Pie. The original cast is back(Jim, Stifler, Oz, Jessica, Vicky, Kevin, Michelle, Finch, Sherman, Heather, Jim's dad, and even Stifler's mom and Stifler's brother) and funnier than ever.
Rated R for strong sexual content, crude humor, language and drinking Quebec Rating:13+ Canadian Home Video Rating:18AI have seen both American Pie 1 and 2 though I saw the former a very long time ago so I do not remember it well.I saw the second film in the series recently and loved it.As I said I don't remember the first so I cant really compare but I found this film to be hilarious!
Sean William Scott is very funny as the horny college student named Stifler.The American Pie series is today what movies like Porky's were back in the 1980's.This film is about a bunch of college students who decide to rent a house near the beach and throw a big party while coping with dates and friendships.American Pie 2 is a very funny film and I recommend it..
A good film about coming of age, but not as funny as the original American Pie..
I have been and will continue to be criticised for not liking this movie, and although I understand almost all young people around the world loved the 2001 sequel 'American Pie 2', I was one person who was not that impressed by it.
Through one boisterous summer of ear-splitting parties, side-splitting mishaps - and yes a trip to band camp - the gang discover that times change and people change, but friendship last a lifetime.The script for American Pie 2 for me personally was good and bad.
Yet the other girls like Nadia (Shannon Elizabeth) and Jessica (Natasha Lyonne) are not as good the second time around, as they have 'bits and pieces' type roles, which add nothing to the film.American Pie 2 had some disgusting scenes attached to it.
Also the jokes this film had were not funny, and are a bad influence on the young people of today, who use them to bad effect in real life.Director of American Pie 2, J.B. Rogers certainly goes all out to make this film even stupidier than the first film, and at times he succeeds.
After the amazing meal of AMERICAN PIE.I set my tables up for a second helping.And it was set up for the next 2 years after the first one.The wait didn't bother me,it just showed me how many great ideas Adam Herz had in his head for this PIE.He and J.B. Rogers(Say It Isn't So)team up for a sequel that's actually better than the original.Guess what,your pals are back for yet another life in the misadventures of Jim(Jason Biggs),Oz(Chris Klein),Kevin(Thomas Ian Nicholas),Finch(Eddie Kaye Thomas),Stifler(Seann William Scott),Vicky(Tara Reid),Nadia(Shannon Elizabeth),Michelle(Alyson Hannigan),Heather(Mena Suvari),Jessica(Natasha Lyonne),and Jim's Dad(Eugene Levy).As summer is here,are pals set out for a vaction like know other.With some accidents along the way involving super glue,lesibains,and etc.This PIE was without adoubt the funniest movie in 2001,also including JAY AND SILENT BOB:STRIKE BACK,and RUSH HOUR 2,and funnier than the first one at that.One of the main reasons this was funnier than the first PIE is Stifler.Not only did they envolve him more in the film,but he also is reponsible for 78% of the jokes in this one.And we also get great screen time from the lovily Alyson Hannigan.This PIE I will cherish forever..
I've never felt strong enoughly about the movies I've rated so much differently than the average to comment until now.As a pure cinematic experience, "American Pie" may be lacking in the finer points of film making.
Jim is still having bad luck with girls despite being used by Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) in his first time; Oz is more mellow and doesn't have much to say; Stifler is still a party animal who loves parties and seducing babes; Finch wants Stifler's mother in the sack while Kevin realizes that after a year of college everything is changing as he fears that after breaking up with Vicki (Tara Reid) and the party raid at Stifler's house, he gets advice from his brother (Casey Affleck) where a vacation at a beach house would make things better at least.Everybody has plans during the vacations in which Jim wants to prepare himself after getting a call from Nadia (Shannon Elizabeth) to get wild in the sack but not before getting help from Michelle, Oz and Heather (Mena Suvari) try to talk in long distance, Stifler wants all the babes, Kevin still wants to be Vicki while Fitch is part of the gang's plans."American Pie 2" is funnier than the original where there are even more gags to make you laugh hard on the floor while at the same time doesn't try to be a pushover.
In fact, I'd say that this movie is funnier than the original American Pie.All of the characters return from the first movie, but this time their performance are greatly improved.
The characters in American Pie were not merely a bunch of kids trying to get laid, like in the Porkies movies.
I don't know why people love the American Pie movies as much as they do.
I thoroughly enjoyed the first American Pie movie, it was funny, crass and didn't pretend to be anything it wasn't.
`This one time' like 3 yrs ago i saw a very funny movie called `American Pie', and then,,,, ( Ok!
