American Pie 2 is the sequel to the popular teen flick of 1999. The
original cast is back, everybody has been in college for a year and
it's summer vacation, and things pick up where they left off. The boys
find coming back home kind of boring so they go off to the beach to
spend the summer partying.
Jim (Jason Biggs) has to get ready for Nadia's (Shannon Elizabeth)
visit at the end of summer. Jim goes to the only woman he's ever had
sex with, Michelle (Alyson Hannigan), to learn how to please a woman.
Oz (Chris Klein) and Heather (Mena Suvari) deal with the difficulties
of a long-distance relationship as Heather spends the summer in Europe.
Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) has to deal with being "just friends" with
Vicky (Tara Reid), who is not in love with Kevin. Paul (Eddie Kaye
Thomas) learns Tantra and waits for Stifler's mom to show up. Meanwhile
Stifler (Seann William Scott) remains Stifler...
I think it was an ok movie. Not great though much in the same spirit as
the original movie so for those who liked the first movie the sequel
will also be entertaining. The main Jim-Nadia-Michelle romantic arc was
well done and very nice. The other romantic arcs were neglected in
favor of the main arc so they were really short.
