"This one time, at Band Camp..."
Coming two years after the successful American Pie, American Pie 2 finds friends Jim, Finch, Oz, Kevin
and Stifler coming to the end of their first year of college. Little seems to
have changed for the group as they’re still battling to get laid. Some have
been successful with this but others have not. After returning home they find
life strange. Kevin talks to his older brother who suggests that they rent a
beach house by the lake for the summer and throw a huge party to attract women.
Meanwhile, Jim finds out that ‘the one who got away’, Nadia is going to stop by
at the end of summer and searches out band geek Michelle to teach him the art
of seducing and satisfying a woman.
As I mentioned in my review of American Pie, I used to love these movies. In 2001 an even larger
group of friends than for the first went to our local two screen cinema to
enjoy a second slice of pie. We were howling with laughter at the events we saw
in front of us. Eleven years and about 6-7 viewings later and the film has definitely
lost its edge. I hadn’t realised how few laughs there were in the film. It isn’t
even as funny as the recent Amercian Reunion.
