In the summer of 1999, they "took the pact" -- and audiences fell in love as an unforgettable group of friends hilariously and all-too-humanly explored the discovered frontiers of love, sex and friendship. The hit comedy earned cult status with moviegoers who saw their own life experiences mirrored in the wild, frequently embarrassing, yet always heartfelt adventures of American Pie.

Universal Pictures is proud to reunite the entire ensemble cast of the original comedy for American Pie 2, boldly taking “the next step” into the fringes of adulthood.

After their first year apart at college, the guys (Kevin, Jim, Oz, Finch and Stifler) rent a beach house, vowing to celebrate their friendship and make this the best summer ever. But, as always, whether their dreams come true or not is ultimately up to the girls (Vicky, Michelle, Nadia, Heather and Jessica).

Through one boisterous summer of ear-splitting parties, side-splitting mishaps -- and, yes, a trip to band camp -- the gang discovers that times change and people change, but friendship lasts a lifetime. -- © 2001 Universal Pictures [More]

While it delivers a decent number of laughs, this second serving of Pie still tastes too much like the first.

I'll keep coming back for the ride until it stops being fun. I just hope it doesn't go as far as AMERICAN PIE 9 - THE MIDLIFE CRISIS.

Fans of the first one will come away tasting soggy reheat, not this year's new improved recipe.

Had director J.B. Rogers simply stuck to the sex jokes and not tried to redeem them, he’d have made a more honest film.

There is a bright side. None of us will live long enough to hear a future historian say, 'And that's how a civilization was doomed by a warm apple pie.'

...even though the majority of the jokes fail completely, the movie still manages to be entertaining enough to be considered an inoffensive time-waster...
