American Pie (2005)

A spin-off rather than a sequel, Band Camp is the fourth entry in the American Pie franchise, but the first without the original cast. Instead a new trash-talking teen takes the lead. His name is Matt (Tad Hilgenbrinck) and he's Steve Stifler's younger brother (and despite the dark hair, Hilgenbrinck does resemble Seann William Scott--without the impish charm). There's nothing the football playing party boy hates more than bandies, the geeky members of the high school band. After he gets caught "punking" his favorite victims, he's sent to the guidance counselor, a redheaded gent known as the Sherminator (Chris Owen), who recommends band camp as penance. Since Steve has moved on to become a Girls Gone Wild impresario, Matt decides he'll make his own R-rated opus, "Bandies Gone Wild." This means spying on the well endowed camp counselors and other unwitting campers while they're showering, sunbathing, etc. When the not-so-bright triangle player gets caught yet again, his new friends abandon him, leading Stiffmeister Jr. to believe he just may have gone too far. Band Camp, which was released straight to DVD, plays more like Porky's than American Pie, and features Eugene Levy as Mr. Levenstein, AKA "Jim's Dad," the camp's conflict resolution officer and ex-porn star Ginger Lynn Allen as the camp nurse. --Kathleen C.

Great, funny movie

I really don't understand why this movie got such harsh reviews... I honestly thought it was the best american pie!!! It's so hilarious and Stiffy junior is amazing, maybe even better than the infamous Stiffler!! I think that if you like those kinds of movies (like american pie, eurotrip, 100 girls, etc.), you will definitely enjoy this flick!! July 13, 2008

This was the worse one

All the American Pie movies have their plus side. This one basically sucked. It was a chore to watch the whole movie. The others I have watched 3 or 4 times, I will not watch this one again. July 12, 2008

okay band camp was a little better than ap 3, but still not as good as one. this movie was okay. it was funny to a point but thats all. June 17, 2008

oh come on!

This movie isn't just bad. Its really, REALLY bad. Horrible, in fact.

When I first saw this movie on the shelf at the movie store, I couldn't help but laugh. And to those of you who were giving crap to the people that reviewed this movie without even bothering to watch it first, well....can you blame them? I mean honestly. There is a reason why some movies don't make it to the theatre, and go straight to DVD. And this movie would be a great example of why that happens.

Now, ill agree with some of you who say that "American Wedding" wasn't very good. In fact, it was a pretty big disappointment. I feel that they should have stopped making these movies after "american pie 2" but I definitely wouldn't go so far as to say that it was worse than this movie. Because there is no comparison whatsoever. Atleast "american wedding" still had a few good laughs, and there was an actual point to that movie, not to mention that it still had most of the original cast in it.

Anyway, I happened to come across this movie a few nights ago when they showed it on TBS after Sex and the City. I decided to watch it, just to see if it was as bad as I figured it would be. But I was wrong. Because it was WORSE than I thought. Its not even funny in a stupid way. Its just plain stupid. The guy who plays Stiflers younger brother is a really bad actor. I thought he resembled the actual Stifler....for about two seconds. He tries waaaaay too hard to impersonate him, especially when he tries to annoyingly imitate Stiflers facial expressions. Its painful to see. And come on....his punishment after the prank he played on his high school's band is to be sent to band camp? Right.

Seriously. I advise you, do NOT waste your money on this movie. At the very least, if your curiousity gets the best of you, wait until it shows on TV, otherwise, just pass it up entirely. June 7, 2008

Band Camp is the best in the Pie films

I'm a fan of the Pie series so I happened upon the first spin-off of the film entitled Band Camp. The funniest film to date, Band Camp follows Matt Stiffler (Steve's equally horny and inconsiderate younger brother) and his adventures at the infamous Tall Oaks Band Camp after he's sent there as punishment for pulling an embarrassing (literally!) prank on East Great Fall's band. Touching in the end (as all Pie films have been) but always hilarious from start to finish, Band Camp is crude humor at its finest. August 27, 2007
