Summary: The cast from the original is reunited the summer after their freshman year in college. They get together for laughs, fun, and of course, sex.

Review:

Tim: The original American Pie shocked people and showed high schoolers as they really are- obsessed about sex and love. The second installment in the movie follows a similar tradition, but of course, the cast is a bit older, and dealing with more "sophisticated" issues.

American Pie 2 is one of those rare sequels that follows the exact same formula as the first one, yet has enough fresh spins and new jokes that it doesn't feel like you're watching the first one all over again. The loveable cast is all back as well. Seann William Scott's Stifler is so hilarious in this film. I loved the character in the first one, but he really gets to shine here.

Strangely enough, this sequel is almost exactly as good as the first one. On more than one occasion, it had me laughing out loud, and rewinded a few seconds to watch a funny line over again. The DVD has some hilarious outtakes that are definitely worth seeing.

If you liked the original, you definitely need to see this film. It picks up right where the last one left off, and it doesn't miss a beat or a joke. If you get the DVD, check out the deleted scene at the restaurant- the "wombat out of the cave" line is hilarious.
