Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

With a gross-out factor befitting the turn of the millennium, 1999's American Pie succeeded by updating the classic American teen coming-of-age comedy in more ways than one. And if Jason Biggs foregoes his pie à la Jimmy for mere college high jinks in the sequel, the music here bounds along in a buzz-chord, double-time rush as if the gang never left high school. Dominated by the power-punk pop that's become the staple of contemporary mainstream rock, this album serves as an oft-loopy sampler. Fresh tracks from Green Day, Alien Ant Farm, American Hi-Fi, and Lucia are tempered by inviting, change-of-pace cuts from Angela Ammons, 3 Doors Down, and Oleander. Uncle Kracker's new "(I'm Gonna) Split This Room in Half" cuts through the punky bluster with some welcome hip-hop swagger, while "Phoebe Cates" by Fenix*TX pays amped-up homage to the much-lusted-after '80s teen queen. But as buoyant as the soundtrack is, it's also hard not to note that much of the music often teeters on the edge of cliché; indeed, the opening Blink 182/Green Day/Left Front Tire/American Hi-Fi salvo of tracks might sound to the uninitiated like they were all performed by the same band--oh well, at least it wasn't 'N Sync or the Backstreet Boys. --Jerry McCulley

Here's a list of songs I've gathered that are in the movie but not in the soundtrack, hope it helps someone (I can't promise that all of these songs are in the movie, it's just what I read, and I can't promise these are all the other songs from the movie either): Michelle Branch - Everywhere; The Offspring - Want You Bad; Sum 41 - In Too Deep (at end of movie when they're partying); Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal; Afghan Whigs - Something Hot; American Hi-Fi - Flavor Of The Week; Weezer - Hash Pipe; New Found Glory - Hit Or Miss; Toilet Boys - Another Day in the Life; Ali Dee - In & Out

4.0 out of 5 stars Not the soundtrack!!, August 10, 2001

This review is from: American Pie 2 (Audio CD)

I saw American Pie 2 and the songs in the movie are not the ones on the soundtrack. Songs like Alien Ant Farm - Criminal, American Hi-Fi - Flavour Of The Week & A New Found Glory - Hit Or Miss were in the movie, but are not on the soundtrack. So this might be a good CD. BUT IT IS NOT THE SOUNDTRACK FOR THE MOVIE!!!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars What happened to WEEZER?, August 20, 2001

By 

Jamie Crabbe (Baltimore, MD United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: American Pie 2 (Audio CD)

Okay, like everyone, I saw the movie and loved the music. I checked out the CD and was very very upset when I found out that the five songs I loved, weren't even on the soundtrack!! I mean, what happened to Weezer's "Hash Pipe", Alien Ant Farm's "Smooth Criminal", New Found Glory's "Hit or Miss", Offspring's "Want You Bad", and Michelle Branch's "Everywhere"?? Being a fan of punk/rock music, I bought the CD anyway. I absolutely love Angela Ammons' "Always Getting Over You" and American HI-FI's "Vertigo". I give this CD 3 stars simply because the best songs that were played in the movie are missing and the songs they chose, were irrelevant and not remembered in the film.
