Just remember
son, don't mention the super glue

Toilet humour?
You bet. But if you want to see the best example, see this.

Sequel is too good a word for American Pie 2. Repeat would
be far better since this virtually recreates, scene by scene, what
happened in the original.

I'm going to put this flute? |
So is it a rip
off? Well, no. Good writing and good acting all contribute to a
fun hour and a half.
Unusually for
such a successful film the producers behind Pie 2 have managed
to bring back all the original cast members. There's sexually unsure
Jim, his embarrassing dad, sex addict Stifler and Finch, who's still
lusting after Stifler's mum.
The film begins
at the end of the gang's first year at college. They return home
expecting everything to be as it was when they left. But time's
moved on. The chemistry isn't right, so the lads decide to rent
a beach house by the lake, work through the summer and end the holidays
with a party to remember.

Stifler. Want to know why? |
Pie 2
is built around a series of key scenes. Right from the start you
cringe as Jim is found in bed with a potential conquest, by his
father, who decides to deliver some pearls of wisdom. The arrival
of everyone else's parents only makes you thankful you're not Jim
under the covers.
There's an hilarious
episode involving super glue, a pornographic video and a man's nether
regions! You'll never listen to Alien Ant Farm's "Smooth Criminal"
in the same light again!
Add to this
the time the boys think they've stumbled upon two lesbians only
to find themselves doing things with each other they'd never dream
of.
Oh, and there
are musical instruments which are put where they shouldn't!

| And you
thought the film was subtle |
Get the picture.
As the Americans might say, it's all pretty gross but beneath it
all is a gang of teenage friends who'll stick by each other and
have no malicious intent.
The moral -
no matter what you do, times change, you have to grow up and be
different.
Pie 2
is a film with plenty of advice so let's end with Michelle's words
of wisdom to Jim on how to have more success with women.
"You have
to preheat the oven before you stick in the turkey."
