Trivia

The movie originally included scenes featuring Stifler's dad (played by Chris Penn). These were removed after negative reaction in test screenings. Also missing from the theatrical release is a scene showing the band camp leader with a rash around his mouth, the morning after having played the trumpet that was inserted into Jim's ass.

Slight Decrease In Comedy

American Pie 2 (2001, Dir. James B. Rogers)

The whole gang are back and shows that they are as close as ever. They decide to get even closer, by spending the summer together at a beach house. They decide to hold the biggest party ever to be seen, even if the preparation doesn't always go to plan. Especially when Stifler, Finch and Jim become more close to each other than they ever want to be and when Jim mistakes super glue for lubricant.

When the 'American Pie' gang returns, everyone knows that they will be expecting gross out humour and wild characters, and this movie doesn't disappoint. All the wonderful characters are back, including Eugene Levy as Jim's Dad, who steals every scene he is in. Stifler is his usual self and Finch is more entertaining this time. A lot of the female side of cast have a reduced role in this movie. Alyson Hannigan's role is expanded, whilst the others only appear in a few scenes. The jokes again are well written, but like the first film, are not the most cleanest of jokes. If you saw the first movie, then you would know what kind of adult material is found in this film. Although, the film holds up well alongside it's predecessor, it had a slight decrease in the comedy. Still, it's a fun and entertaining movie to watch.

"The force is strong with that one." - Stifler (Seann William Scott)
