The teen comedy genre in hollywood is really rockin these days with movies like scary movie, road trip and stuff ! and American Pie is the king of these genre !
American Pie was damn funny, American Pie 2 is damn funnier .Every scene that disgusts you, every scene that makes you cringe in guilt is done so with a punch line waiting for you at the end. The creators of American Pie 2 have outdone themselves and they have created one of the funniest films I have seen in quite a long time.
AP2 begins on the last day of classes for our four friends in college. Kevin, Stifler and Oz are all at one place and Jim is somewhere else. Finch has travelled abroad so we don’t get to see him until they meat up at Dog Years about ten minutes into the film. Jim is still trying to learn to relax when it comes to sex, Finch is now a master at sex, Oz is still with Heather and Kevin is not with anybody. After Stifler’s party gets busted, the boys, after Kevin calls his brother, decide to rent a cottage on Lake Michigan. Stifler is invited because they would not be able to afford the place on their own. The rest of the movie is basically about the boys trying to get laid and the difficulties and hilarity that ensues.
One of the things that makes AP2 so successful is that almost every character that had a speaking role in the first movie is back for more in the second. And not only are they nice to see for familiarity sake, each one has a funny line or a few funny scenes to keep us laughing. We all know the major ones that return but also back for more laughs is Sherman, or as he likes to call himself, the Sherminator. Stifler’s little brother makes his return and utters his famous line ’’Fs, Fs, Fs!’’.Also the monkey and the Internet boys make a brief cameo. This was smart bringing back these minor characters.
Stifler stays the same but the others have differed in some ways.Finch is still obsessed with Stifler’s mom and he is now learning the art of Tantra so he can channel his sexual being even more than he did at the conclusion of first one. Of course him and Stifler have some memorable bantering about his mother and this is just another areas that plays out well for laughs.
Oz and Heather have to communicate through the phone for the summer as she is spending it abroad in Paris so they try risque things like phone sex, to no avail. Everything from Stifler to call waiting interrupt their time together.
Kevin is still hooked on Vicky and Jim is still trying to get laid. Michelle and Nadia, Jim’s girls from the first also make some memorable appearances with Michelle stealing most of her scenes, regardless of who she shares them with. Jessica and of course Mr. Levinstein (Jim’s dad) round out the cast of AP1 veterans.
If you liked this first, you’ll love this one. Watch out for cascading champagne scene, the lesbian scene and anything involving Michelle or Finch.
