5/5 R-Rated VS. Unrated
  by
This is a great DVD set. It features both classic American Pie movies, widescreen, special editions. Also, they're both Unrated. I should tell you now, if you haven't seen the movies, this review contains some spoilers.

For the first movie, the Unrated and R-Rated versions have so little difference that if you've only seen it once, you probably wouldn't notice. The only difference that stands out is the famous pie scene. I feel, however, the original one was funnier. The cover promises "more pie," while what we see is a different version of pie. There are five seconds of extra Nadia scenes in which she.... uh... pleasures herself. There is more moaning during the Vicky/Kevin scene. The..... stuff... in the beer is clearer (I honestly didn't notice). That's basically it. No, wait! There's a few more pages to the "sex bible."

Doesn't sound like much, does it? Well, it isn't. But, the Unrated version of part two more than makes up for it. There are at least fifteen, repeat: FIFTEEN differences in this. These even include whole new scenes! Part one only had about 10 seconds of extra footage. This one has six minutes. And all the added scenes are really funny! There is a very special one featuring Jim and his dad in the hospital. Also, a bit more in the "lesbian" scene. Stifler boots some kids out of his house, and criticizes (sp?) Oz's choice of girlfriend. There's tons more, but I think I missed some. Believe me, this Unrated one is great!

So, anyway, both are Unrated in this excellent box-set. I don't mind #1 being like that. If I bought them separate, I'd probably just get the Unrated. It has better cover art. But, the one for part two is awesome, and is the only one that should be watched. This is a great set. They're both Collector's Editions. I don't care. The "Ultimate Edition" of part 1 is ridiculous. There's almost nothing new, except some deleted scenes and a full-screen version, and nobody should watch full-screen stuff.

Buy this great set. It's worthy, and you'll watch them over and over again!

3/5 1st is good, 2nd isn't much.

American Pie 1 is definitely worth checking out, it has the comedy, charm, and sleaziness that were once great in the 80's but were lost in the 90's. It's a high school film that could've been a little more serious, but it was serious enough, and definitely portrayed young high school boys the way most of them really are. Yes, they're horny and stupid sometimes, but also have feelings and are confused about love, and can be as lonely as anyone now matter what their "status" is. I definitely recommend it.
American Pie 2 takes the same cast a year later once in college. This one isn't as good. Why? B/c it's completely full of college cliches and stereotypes. The actors acting abilites just seemed to worsen dramatically (the whole story with those 2 x-lovebirds coming back together as "friends" after a year was so ridiculously stupid and unrealistic it made me wanna vomit, not to mention how laughably horrible they acted it out), and the college experience as a whole was completely superficial. Granted there are a couple of funny parts during the film, they're mostly unnessecary goofy antics that are really the only things holding the movie up.
Even though the first was pretty good, both films' depictions of the teenage obsession with sex went a little far sometimes, it becomes hard to believe. Ask any REAL highschooler, having sex at that age isn't as huge a deal as it is portrayed, and if it is a huge deal, it's because of movies like this. Buy the first, rent the second.

5/5 One of the Funniest movies ever made!!

Personally,I would suggest for people to see the first one before they see the second one.I thought the first one was the
funniest and the best one out of the two.The second movie is
more serious and has more of a story line.It's not as funny as
the first one but it has it's funny scenes.I think American Pie
part 1 is one of the best teenage comedy's ever made,If you love
teenage comedy's,you'll love American Pie.

5/5 I couldn't breathe...

These movies are so funny that the first time I saw each of them I laughed so hard I couldn't catch my breath. Sure they are both sophomoric, that is what they are ment to be, no hidden purpose, no message, just laughter. You just have to see the movies, and judge for yourself which one is your favorite, they are both great.

4/5 Just as good as the first

American Pie 2 is a great movie......if u just need a good laugh every now and then. Stifler real steals the show in this one. The part when they are convincing the girls to strip and do things to one another is classic, Ages 19-25 will really enjoy. GO SEE IT...........
