Returning home following their freshman year of college, old friends Jim (Jason Biggs), Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas), Oz (Chris Klein), Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas), and Stifler (Seann William Scott) rent a summer house on Lake Michigan where they hope to score romantically. However, complications ensue due to Jim's relative lack of experience, requiring an interlude with a fellow student and a visit to his old friend Michelle (Alyson Hanigan), who's now a band camp counselor, all in preparation for the return of Nadia (Shannon Elizabeth). In the meantime, Oz is separated from Heather (Mena Suvari) by a trip abroad, Finch has another encounter with Stifler's mom (Jennifer Coolidge), and Jim's dad (Eugene Levy) is as clueless as ever about his son's love life. Director J.B. Rogers served as first assistant director on the first film and made his directorial debut with Say It Isn't So (2001). ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
A slipshod sequel that looks tossed together over a weekend by people who couldn't care less.
-
Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter
It's a cheesy mixture of porn and corn.
-
Mark Holcomb, Village Voice
Rogers's feeble attempt to ape the Farrellys' gross/sad/funny dialectic falls flat.
-
Robert Koehler, Variety
Less a movie than another efficient moneymaking machine for Universal Pictures, American Pie 2 is a remarkably boring comedy.
-
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Sure it's a sequel, but Pie 2 reprises most of the spirit of the first movie.
