Stephen Hunter Washington Post (Top Critic)

What a portrait of young American manhood as a collective of hormone-addled schnooks -- effete, incapable, soft and doomed, a group of chuckleheads who couldn't find the sky without a sign that pointed up.

Sure it's a sequel, but Pie 2 reprises most of the spirit of the first movie.

Mark Holcomb Village Voice (Top Critic)

Rogers's feeble attempt to ape the Farrellys' gross/sad/funny dialectic falls flat.

Robert Koehler Variety (Top Critic)

Less a movie than another efficient moneymaking machine for Universal Pictures, American Pie 2 is a remarkably boring comedy.

Roger Moore Orlando Sentinel (Top Critic)

It is enough to make one lament for misspent youth, for the teenagers who will buy tickets to PG-13 rated fare only to sneak into this rehash.

Peter Howell Toronto Star (Top Critic)

Still seems fresh, despite using the same ingredients of the first one.

Kirk Honeycutt Hollywood Reporter (Top Critic)

It's a cheesy mixture of porn and corn.

A slipshod sequel that looks tossed together over a weekend by people who couldn't care less.

Better than #1 but still raunchy. Teens love it.

While it delivers a decent number of laughs, this second serving of Pie still tastes too much like the first.

I'll keep coming back for the ride until it stops being fun. I just hope it doesn't go as far as AMERICAN PIE 9 - THE MIDLIFE CRISIS.

Fans of the first one will come away tasting soggy reheat, not this year's new improved recipe.

I'm ecstatic to report that American Pie 2 did not disappoint.

Had director J.B. Rogers simply stuck to the sex jokes and not tried to redeem them, he'd have made a more honest film.

There is a bright side. None of us will live long enough to hear a future historian say, 'And that's how a civilization was doomed by a warm apple pie.'

...even though the majority of the jokes fail completely, the movie still manages to be entertaining enough to be considered an inoffensive time-waster...

It's all about sex again, but, like the first movie, it handles it with a sense of balance between the lewdness and the awkwardness of the subject.

too much of "Pie 2" seems stolen from the day-old bin. ...We learned just about everything we needed to know about these kids two years ago...

The gags are rude and crude, but they never bail out in fear of offending, and frankly, it's funny.

[The] jokes...ain't built for repetition, nor is the film's malnourished narrative.

I'd trash the sequel for treading on the same ground...if it weren't so damn funny!

Writer Adam Herz has an uncanny knack of turning even the most predictable scenarios into slices of comedy magic.

If only the rest of the movie had the wit and wisdom of Levy's performance.

There's no shortage of overbaked sex gags--and laughs--in this follow-up.
