"American Pie 2" DVD Review/Recommendation
American Pie 2 finds the friends finishing their first year at college and returning to their hometown for a summer reunion. Jim still lusts after foreign exchange student, Nadia, Stifler's still Stifler, Michelle's stuck at band camp, Vicky and Kevin are broken up but trying to remain friends, and Oz and Heather are still in love.
The first American Pie became an unexpected blockbuster hit, establishing a lot of its young actors and tagging Jason Biggs with the unenviable label of Pie Guy. Containing gross-out comedy, a talented cast of attractive actors, and a decent script, American Pie kicked teen romantic comedies up a notch. Banking on the original's success, the entire cast and most of the creative team behind the film, returned for the sequel. The script has grown up a little with the characters but the gross-out scenes are just as funny (and juvenile) as in the first film. The film's unrated DVD contains a horde of extras, enough to satiate the appetite of any Pie fan.
