Movies that feel likeAmerican Pie 2 (2001)

After a year apart - attending different schools, meeting different people - the guys rent a beach house and vow to make this the best summer ever. As it turns out, whether that will happen or not has a lot to do with the girls. Between the wild parties, outrageous revelations and yes, a trip to band camp, they discover that times change and people change, but in the end, it's all about sticking together.

If you loved American Pie 2, the closest films we have are There's Something About Mary (1998), Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008) and Notting Hill (1999). All three share American Pie 2's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is My Best Friend's Wedding (1997).
