Well, after an extended leave of absence during Christmas and New Years break, and after moving into a new place, it's time to get The Nexus back up and running!
The old inappropriate gang is back again in American Pie 2. In this sequel, after their first year in college, Jim, Kevin, Oz, Finch and Stifler spend the summer at the lake in a cabin. Their plan is to make their cabin the place to be (*) if you know what I mean. Kevin and Vicky have broken up, Heather is taking a summer semester in Spain leaving Oz unattached, Stifler remains single and lovin' it, and Stifler's mom continues to evade Finch. Jim is itching with anticipation of seeing Nadia at the end of the summer. Over a conversation with the guys Jim starts questioning his "abilities" and seeks the only person who has experienced him. Jim heads over to Tall Oaks band camp to see Michelle for the first time since their night after prom. See informs him that his performance was less than desirable, but she offers to help him practice for Nadia when she comes. After a glue accident, which heals just in time, Nadia comes into town earlier than planned. To avoid having to explain his glue injury, Jim and Michelle pretend to be dating, then Michelle will "dump" him once he heals so he can get with Nadia.
The plan seems to work fine, until it comes to the big show. With Jim and Nadia holed away together, Jim begins to think about Michelle. Nadia can tell he doesn't have the same feelings he once had for her, and insists he go and "get your girl!" Jim drives to Tall Oaks and interrupts the concert with his famous Petey impression, they fall in love, and the credits roll.
What did I take from this movie? Well, I basically took 2 things away: this is not a movie to watch with... well, anyone... and this movie showed the significance a planted seed can have (not that kind of seed!) When Jim and Michelle were practicing, a seed of a relationship was planted in their minds. It took effect when it was planted deep enough, and it will blossom to it's full flower in the next movie, which I think I might watch tomorrow and blog about on Saturday, or tomorrow night... We'll see
Next: American Wedding
