It�s been one year since we last saw our band of heroes, on their mortal quest to lose their virginity. Now they have survived their first college year, its time to party all summer long! The guys rent out a dream beach house for the summer and get decorating jobs to fund their new bachelor pad.

That�s the plot, basically. The rest of the movie is a rollicking, rude, comedy roller coaster. In some respects it�s a huge disappointment, there is no plot as such, no real finale, well, not compared to the first movie. This leads me to my next point, the structuring of the movie follows the original too closely, while some aspects are welcomed, others are just a boring re-tread to try and give the audience what they want. The ending is predictable from halfway through the movie, and it is not nearly as rude as the first.

That being said, however, the cast is once again superb, although the girl�s parts are cut-down substantially, probably because its only guys that do funny, embarrassing, raunchy stuff. Yeah right. Another saving grace is Jim�s dad, now something of a cult figure, and deservedly so!

Even though the movie is a mish-mash of set pieces, there are some absolute gems; one involving Jim, Stiffler and Shit-break and a �lesbian couple�. Oh, and the thing with the videotape and super-glue is priceless! What the hell, you should see it anyway, despite its flaws, you�ll still love it.

Oh, by the way... NADIA IS A BABE!
