Our take on American Pie 2
J.B. Rogers's 2001 comedy sequel picks up a year on, the guys now attending different schools and meeting different people, as they rent a beach house and vow to make it the best summer ever. Whether that pans out has everything to do with the girls, and the film mixes wild parties, outrageous revelations and even a trip to band camp with a running theme about times changing and friends sticking together. It leans hard into raunchy gross-out gags, so it's very much for viewers who enjoyed the first film's brand of crude, affectionate teen comedy. Beneath the crude set-pieces sits a genuinely fond streak about growing up together.
