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

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. Oct 16, 2002

Less a movie than another efficient moneymaking machine for Universal Pictures, American Pie 2 is a remarkably boring comedy. Aug 13, 2001

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. Dec 2, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Our second encounter with the Class of '99 is unashamedly similar to (but way slicker than) its predecessor. Apr 29, 2012 | Full Review…

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. Mar 19, 2003 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The second slice is a much-more-disgustingly-humorous piece with less of the coming-of-age tone that the first installment provided. American Pie 2, though unnecessary, still is a fair portion to experience. 4/5

They've grown but the mentality is still the same.
I love revisiting movies I haven't seen in years, as it's like a whole new experience. I have forgotten so much about this movie, but remembered enough to have an old friend feeling when watching. Picks up the summer after their first year of college and they guys, along with Stifler, get a lake house to have one big huge Summer end party. All sorts of hijinks, raunchy sexcapades, and fantastic heartfelt humor fill this sequel. Not quite as good as the first, but still much better than most sequels, and probably better than it should be. All the performances are perfect, especially Stifler(Sean William Scott), Finch(Eddie Kaye Thomas), and Jim(Jason Biggs). Those three really shine above everyone else. Side note, didn't realize I use some quotes from this movie all the time and I had completely forgotten they came from here("Here's an idea, I'll get you a spoon so you can eat my a**"..Bob outta like that). Great movie, full of laughs, and an absolute must for anyone who likes the first, or just like to laugh in general.
More of the same with one difference: they are college men now - like it matters. It follows the same formula but the gags are more stupid than funny, looking like a cheap rehash and with very little to make us laugh like the first movie.
