After a year apart - attending different schools, meeting different people - the guys rent a beach house and vow to make this the best summer ever. As it turns out, whether that will happen or not has a lot to do with the girls. Between the wild parties, outrageous revelations and yes, a trip to band camp, they discover that times change and people change, but in the end, it's all about sticking together.

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.
