American Pie - A nice helping, please

This sequel is as good and entertaining as it's original counterpart.  The writers did a great job at creating character development and adapting the main characters to their high school life to their present college one.  It's cute how they portray the reunion of old friends after separating for their "life changing" experiences at college and still being as close as ever.  Simply unrealistic (I'm not being pessimistic, just honest), but a sweet notion.  What is most impressive is how the producers managed to get all of the the characters from the first movie to be in the second.  How rare is that?  And each characters' characteristics were amplified: Oz being even more Mr. Sensitivity, Stifler being douchebaggier, Finch being more off-putting, etc.  With that, I feel they also made the girls' parts in the movie more prominent than they should be, especially Tara Reid's.  Vicky is such an obnoxious bitch and I hoped her friend Jessica would punch her in the face... really hard.  And my heart goes out to the sexy and simple Nadia when Jim rejects her.  How crushing.  But I don't care how off her taste may be and how much she adores geeks, hell no would anybody that hot sleep with a guy like Scherman.  I mean, he's just too ewwy.  Gross.
Once again the movie covers more topics than simply the joy of promiscuity; the survive of first time long-distance  relationships, the confrontation of old loves, and the male species fascination with lesbianic sex.  However, I can't say anybody can relate to having yourself superglued to your penis and a porn tape.  Funny yet mortifying.  They never did say how the doctor managed to help Jim.  Hopefully more than just yanking it loose.  But I guess that's the point of Jim's character: to perpetually be the one to end up in every uncomfortable situation.  For real, I may be gay but I would find it too awkward if a trumpet was shoved up my ass.  Point is, Jim gets all the best gimmicks.  Let's just be thankful that the creators refrained from being clichy enough as to find some way to incorporate an apple pie into the movie simply because of the franchise's name.
