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.

    I felt that the sequel to American Pie is a sequel that failed to capture the elements that made the first one good. Sure, some of its here, but the ideas expressed on-screen felt recycled and uninspired. I did laugh a few times, and yes, the film does entertain, but as a whole it… More
