Critics Consensus

Being a sequel, American Pie 2 doesn't retain the freshness of the original, nor is it as funny.

Better than #1 but still raunchy. Teens love it.

Writer Adam Herz has an uncanny knack of turning even the most predictable scenarios into slices of comedy magic.

Less a second slice than a reheated piece of the original, the sequel tastes just as good.

Rated: B-

The filmmakers have essentially engineered the exact same formula as the first film (the lads are now a year into their college lives) except to rapidly diminishing effect.

Rated: 2/5

Our second encounter with the Class of '99 is unashamedly similar to (but way slicker than) its predecessor.

Fine comedy sequel, liked it almost as much as the first, although the first had more laugh out loud moments.

This film has a great plot line involving Jim and Michelle, the highlight of this film as well as a catalyst for some really funny scenes. As well as those two characters, Finch and Stifler steal the show with their rivalry and are always a funny presence on screen. Oz and Kevin are just fine, less of a plot for them this time round. If you're looking for some lighthearted fun as well as maybe a bit of nostalgia watch this movie.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
