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.

Rated: 3/5

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

Rolling Stone

A slipshod sequel that looks tossed together over a weekend by people who couldn't care less.

Rated: 0.5/5

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.

It's a cheap and unmotivated sequel to the first movie (that definitely had no need for a sequel). It's a little funny but the original was only okay and this one was much worse.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

It's hard to say whether or not it's better than the first, but what I can say is that it's just as funny as the first.

Would rate a zero. Usual contractually obligated sequel to megabit. Cast doesn't have a script to work with. No laughs.

Not far off the first one really. Both very nostalgic, fun light hearted movies that give you a smile on your face by the end and makes you miss the days when parties didnt have a mobiel phone in sight

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

A worthwhile sequel that stays true to the original while adding its own levels of humor and comedy. This time, there is more room for character growth, which, fortunately, adds the the film.
