The original American Pie basically set the standard for teen sex comedies. Road Trip blew it away but that is beside the point. If any movie deserved the chance for a sequel though, American Pie was a prime candidate. A good first film and no reason why it should be a one off (unlike Miss Congeniality and other such films which should be legally banned from making sequels).
I’m not going to lie to you – American Pie 2 is not the most sophisticated movie ever nor it is the most original (well to be honest I didn’t she Sherman getting it on with Nadia) with the opening scene showing Jim getting it on with a female and his dad arriving to surprise him – wonder where that one was going to end up.
The lack of surprise does little to remove the humour from the film though, you may know some of the jokes are coming but it doesn’t really spoil the punch line. American Pie 2 is a funny movie and at the end of the day, that is the important thing.
The plot revolves around one great summer – none of this everyone ending up dropping out of college somehow (that’s more of an attack on certain TV series than a comment on the film ;), just one cool summer where everyone is out to get laid when they head off to spend their time at the lake.
Genre hybridity also rears its head in the form of romance between Jim and Michelle although it isn’t a big thing – it feels more like a setup for American Pie 3.
