80The funniest scenes involve Jim and his father, thanks to the brilliant, improvisational skills of Eugene Levy.
-
80The simple premise of one scene of table-turning voyeurism is brilliant.
-
78It's all patently ridiculous, but it's also ridiculously fun.
-
75I laughed at American Pie 2, yes, but this is either going to be the last "Pie" movie or they're going to have to get a new angle.
-
75Hardly sophisticated, but it's as inspired as teen sex comedies get.
-
70The "American Pie" movies succeed where many other comedies aimed at the youth market falter: they manage to be both lewd and sweet, exploiting the natural prurience of young people while implicitly comforting their raging anxieties.
-
70Somewhere between setup and punch line, American Pie 2 starts feeling less like a sequel and more like the second episode of a TV series, a case of fine-tuning after the pilot's been picked up by the network.
-
67Even though they're now college dudes, fulfillment for fellas is still predicated on copping a feel and downing a brewski.
-
63Very, very funny, albeit inferior in a number of ways to the original.
-
63Is this movie over the top? Definitely. Better than the original? Definitely not.
-
60This lively and nicely timed comedy has plenty enough, farce, slapstick and even drawing-room humor.
-
50American Pie 2, which brings back the same cast for more of the same, is just another by-the-numbers, money-hungry sequel with a lot of recycled shaggy-sex jokes and gross-out gags.
-
50It delivers all the raunch and ribaldry its designated audience could hope for, but others may find it more deliberately disgusting than effervescently outrageous.
-
50Doesn't make much sense on a story level, and it has a cheap, slapdash look that indicates no one behind the camera was interested in anything other than another fat payday.
-
50Pie 2's greatest asset is the rare, infectious amiability of its cast of characters and the actors playing them.
-
50A cheap and easy amusement, one that's gone a little stale and never quite rises to the occasion.
-
40Pie 2 has neither undercurrent, and hence what was passably cute the first time seems much more puerile and shrill here.
-
40There's no real story and that would be fine, if Rogers and screenwriter Adam Herz could keep from pretending otherwise.
-
Hardly works up a decent belly laugh before its characters are happily pairing off with whomever they desire most. The film is like skipping the orgasm and going straight for the cigarette.
-
40It's a copy all the way, a disheartening attempt to capitalize on the success of the original.
-
38With the raunch quotient cranked up several notches, the sequel is calculated, cynical and, worse, not funny.
-
38Delivers more of what the original promised, with the crudity index up one notch and the humor index down quite a few.
-
30A remarkably boring comedy.
-
25No longer fresh -- though that's to be expected in a sequel -- it contains none of the virtues that made the first one anarchic and original.
-
20Of all the characters in American Pie 2, male or female, Michelle is the only one who feels completely rounded and whole. She moves with unerring grace and subtlety through this feeble minefield of a movie, unharmed by the tepid jokes that flop and fizzle around her.
-
20This film isn't so much a sequel to the original "American Pie" as a reduction of it.
-
10A slipshod sequel that looks tossed together over a weekend by people who couldn't care less.
-
10Lacks both taste and flavor.
