Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
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. But once again, things don't go according to plan.Directed by James B. Rogers, American Pie 2 features a superficial plot with nearly same set of characters that inhabited the previous chapter and while it still doesn't add anything to their respective arcs, that part doesn't become much of an issue. 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.
Sequels 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.
American Pie 2 was good but it wasn't better than the first one. This was funny but not as funny as the first one, the plot in this was kinda lame. In American Pie 2 they decide to get even closer, by spending the summer together at a beach house. They decide to hold the biggest party ever to be seen, even if the preparation doesn't always go to plan. 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. All the wonderful characters are back, including Eugene Levy as Jim's Dad, who steals every scene he is in. Stifler is his usual self and Finch is more entertaining this time. A lot of the female side of cast have a reduced role in this movie. Alyson Hannigan's (Michelle) role is expanded, whilst the others only appear in a few scenes. The jokes again are well written, but like the first film, are not the most cleanest of jokes. Funniest scenes include lesbians that make Jim, Stifler, Finch do what they say, Jim gluing his dick with glue then being rushed to the hospital "You guys are not team players" - Stifler (Seann William Scott)
They're back! The people we fell in love with in the first movie are back for more outrageousness, and while it's not as good as the first, it's still funny, and at times VERY funny.Jim, Kevin, Oz and Finch have finished their first year at college, and are getting ready to spend the summer together. They decide to rent a house on the beach and host a wild party at the end where they will be reunited with the girls.Everyone has returned, although the film focuses on the boys, while the girls mainly stay on the backburner (girls are not the target audience for movies like this). There are no new additions, surprisingly, but the movie still culls a lot of humor from the characters we all know and love.The problem with this sequel is that the first film told a complete story. The first film got its best laughs from the awkwardness from exploring sexuality. Now that everyone has taken the plunge, what's left? Surprisingly a lot. The filmmakers come up with some great ideas for hijinks, and while the laughs aren't as fresh as the ones in the first film, there's still plenty of humor in this sequel.
