It's a cheesy mixture of porn and corn.

Rogers's feeble attempt to ape the Farrellys' gross/sad/funny dialectic falls flat.

Less a movie than another efficient moneymaking machine for Universal Pictures, American Pie 2 is a remarkably boring comedy.

Sure it's a sequel, but Pie 2 reprises most of the spirit of the first movie.

What a portrait of young American manhood as a collective of hormone-addled schnooks -- effete, incapable, soft and doomed, a group of chuckleheads who couldn't find the sky without a sign that pointed up.

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

I'll keep coming back for the ride until it stops being fun. I just hope it doesn't go as far as AMERICAN PIE 9 - THE MIDLIFE CRISIS.

Had director J.B. Rogers simply stuck to the sex jokes and not tried to redeem them, he'd have made a more honest film.

This sequel to the big hit teen comedy sees the old gang reunite for a summer of fun after their first year of college in hopes of trying to further strengthen their bonds while also trying to get as much action as they can. This one is fun, and it ups the ante where the gross out gags and bawdy content are concerned,
