Just remember son, don't mention the super glue

Toilet humour? You bet. But if you want to see the best example, see this.

Sequel is too good a word for American Pie 2. Repeat would be far better since this virtually recreates, scene by scene, what happened in the original.

Guess where I'm going to put this flute?

So is it a rip off? Well, no. Good writing and good acting all contribute to a fun hour and a half.

Unusually for such a successful film the producers behind Pie 2 have managed to bring back all the original cast members. There's sexually unsure Jim, his embarrassing dad, sex addict Stifler and Finch, who's still lusting after Stifler's mum.

The film begins at the end of the gang's first year at college. They return home expecting everything to be as it was when they left. But time's moved on. The chemistry isn't right, so the lads decide to rent a beach house by the lake, work through the summer and end the holidays with a party to remember.

The name's Stifler. Want to know why?

Pie 2 is built around a series of key scenes. Right from the start you cringe as Jim is found in bed with a potential conquest, by his father, who decides to deliver some pearls of wisdom. The arrival of everyone else's parents only makes you thankful you're not Jim under the covers.

There's an hilarious episode involving super glue, a pornographic video and a man's nether regions! You'll never listen to Alien Ant Farm's "Smooth Criminal" in the same light again!

Add to this the time the boys think they've stumbled upon two lesbians only to find themselves doing things with each other they'd never dream of.

Oh, and there are musical instruments which are put where they shouldn't!

And you thought the film was subtle

Get the picture. As the Americans might say, it's all pretty gross but beneath it all is a gang of teenage friends who'll stick by each other and have no malicious intent.

The moral - no matter what you do, times change, you have to grow up and be different.

Pie 2 is a film with plenty of advice so let's end with Michelle's words of wisdom to Jim on how to have more success with women.
