The horny teen heroes of American Pie (1999) return for further raunchy antics in this comedy sequel written by the first film's creator, Adam Herz . Returning home following their freshman year of college, old friends Jim ( Jason Biggs ), Kevin ( Thomas Ian Nicholas ), Oz ( Chris Klein ), Finch ( Eddie Kaye Thomas ), and Stifler ( Seann William Scott ) rent a summer house on Lake Michigan where they hope to score romantically. However, complications ensue due to Jim's relative lack of experience, requiring an interlude with a fellow student and a visit to his old friend Michelle ( Alyson Hanigan ), who's now a band camp counselor, all in preparation for the return of Nadia ( Shannon Elizabeth ). In the meantime, Oz is separated from Heather ( Mena Suvari ) by a trip abroad, Finch has another encounter with Stifler's mom ( Jennifer Coolidge ), and Jim's dad ( Eugene Levy ) is as clueless as ever about his son's love life. Director J.B. Rogers served as first assistant director on the first film and made his directorial debut with Say It Isn't So (2001). — Karl Williams
