Mind you, the guys from American Pie find the temptation
too much and in the sequel, American Pie 2, they put
on an extremely funny scene involving the aforementioned ladies
and themselves.
As you'd expect, American Pie 2 follows a similar
style to the highly successful original - although this time
around they are a tad more adult about relationships. Well,
sort of.
The summer holidays are approaching and the guys are heading
off to a beach house. It's going to be parties, parties, parties
- and a little bit of work as painters to pay the bills.
However, for our hero Jim (Jason Biggs) it is a time to ready
himself for the imminent arrival of the stunningly gorgeous
Nadia (Shannon Elizabeth), yes she of the internet sex fame.
Despite his having lost his virginity to the experienced band
member Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) he's still a bit nervous
round the girls and he wants her to help him develop his prowess.
The other guys are also having problems. Arch turkey Stifler
(Seann William Scott) is still a moronic pain in the ass,
Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) has been dropped by his girl and
wants to win her back, Oz is missing his girl Heather (Mena
Suvari).
Most of the humour is basic and very teen-oriented, however,
Eugene Levy returns as Jim's dad and adds a massive amount
of dry, brilliant humour to proceedings.
You have to watch for the lubricant scene, which is even
funnier than the original pie episode. And Finch's relationship
with Mrs Stifler is an absolute hoot.
If you liked the first, then American Pie 2 will definitely
be to your taste. It is exceptionally funny in parts.
The transfer is stunningly well done and so is the sound.
Add to that a very good set of extras and you have a damn
good package.
Conclusion: Movie 85%, Extras 75%
