American Pie 2 Review


American Pie 2 is the sequel to American Pie. It picks up 1 year after the conclusion of the first film after the teenagers have finished their first year of college and return home for the summer.


They look forward to a summer of partying, but the first party at Stiflers house is busted by police. Needing somewhere to party, Kevin calls his older brother for advice. His brother tells him to rent a lake house that he himself had rented years earlier with his friends when he was the same age as Kevin. He tells Kevin that at the end of the summer, he will see the big picture. So Kevin, Jim, Stifler, Paul and Chris head out to the lake to spend the summer there. They plan to have a non-stop party for 3 months.

Each character has their own little storyline. Jim prepares for Nadia's arrival and seek help from Michelle, Kevin sees Vicky for the first time in a year and realises he still loves her, Chris is forced to cope with spending the summer away from his girlfriend, Paul tries to find a girl who can live up to his expectations and Stifler continues to be Stifler. At the end of the summer Kevin accepts that he can't have a future with Vicky and that he had been living in the past. He sees the big picture; times change and people change. He decides to be friend with Vicky. Jim ends up passing up Nadia for Michelle, the girl who he can really relate to.

I give this film a 9/10. The comedy is just as good as the comedy in the first movie, not many sequels match the original but this did. Stifler is absolutely hilarious and not to mention the Shermanator! Besides the hilarity of it, the movie still sends a message. Times change. I think this is something that a lot of recently graduated from high school people will be able to relate to. People most often change quite a bit after being out of school and starting adult life. But this movie also shows that there is no reason why friendships can't be maintained with high school friends after school is done.

The acting is better than in the first one too. I would definitely recommend seeing this movie, there is something in it for teenagers and adults.

American Pie review


American Pie is a teen comedy from 1999. First of all, it doesn't really need to be labelled a 'teen-comedy' because there is something in it for the adults as well. Yes, it focuses mostly on teenage characters and teenage issues, but Eugene Levy plays a parent who has a habit of embarassing his son Jim. This is something that many adults can relate to!

This film is about a group of male high school seniors named Jim, Kevin, Chris and Paul who make a pact to lose their virginity before they graduate. In this pact they agree to help eachother out with anything in their attempts to have sex. This leads to many funny, sweet and embarassing moments for the teenagers. In their efforts to get laid before graduation, the guys learn some valuable life lessons; that sex isn't important, but finding the right person is.
I thought this was a great movie. It's very, very funny. Sean William Scott plays 'Stifler', the antagonist who doesn't feel awkward as the four main characters when socialising with the opposite sex. This character is absolutely hilarious and would have to be one of the funniest I have seen in a movie. He is rude, arrogant and obnoxious. But he is still likeable. Every one of his scenes had me in stitches.

The funniest scene of the movie would have to be when Jim tries to seduce Nadia in his bedroom, not knowing that his entire school is watching via webcam. When his attempt to seduce Nadia goes wrong, twice, he is left very embarassed. The acting is pretty good for the most part. The four leads were all very young when they did this movie so they did a good job.
I would definitely advise people to see this movie, you won't be dissapointed!
