I’ll usually be the first one to rail against sequels
that are nothing more than a retread of the first film. These films are cynical
ploys to earn more money using the same formula a second or third time. And of
course audiences tend to fall for it every time. This is especially true in the
comedy genre: take a group of people in a comedic scenario, have them do funny
things, wash, rinse, repeat. Then take the same group and put them in a
slightly different scenario to repeat similar gags. I did not find this to be
the case with American Pie 2.
