Captivating movie !
Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess
In this first of a series of direct to DVD sequels, Steve Stiffler's younger douchier brother, Matt, gets sent to band camp as a punishment for sabotaging a school band function. 'cue wacky hijinxs' (no not really) Featuring Eugene Levy and Chris Owens as the two sad sacks who were in need of money so bad that they'd reprise their characters from the previous films.Unfunny and forgettable, why have I waited this long to review such a piece of excrement? Quite simply because it was already streaming on Netflix. I'd be damned if I were to actually seek out and pay for this moronic swill.
American Pie: Band Camp is not great, but it's not terrible either. For a straight to DVD sequel, this really wasn't all that bad. Compared to the atrocity The Naked Mile, Band Camp is Oscar Worthy.It sticks to the humor of the original American Pie movies and does have some funny moments. But still, it does suffer from the typical straight to DVD movie flaws. Most of the jokes in the film are chuckle's with a few stronger laughs in between. However, many of the jokes also just were too juvenile to be funny or just fell flat because they weren't funny.If you're a fan of the original trilogy, then it's worth a watch, but you won't want to revisit it a second time. If you're a fan of the original films, than I think you will at least find some enjoyment in this.
i am a huge fan of the American pie series, but these spin off's have been terrible apart from 'the naked mile' and 'beta house' which was funny, but not American pie. but this one is the worst because it tries to hard to mimic the original movies, i mean they get one of the worst actors I've ever seen, to do the worst Sean William Scott impression I've ever seen, for some reason Eugene levy is here as Jim's dad doing his awkward advice, and Sherman pops up as a school counciler, who sends stifler's little brother to band camp. cue then a load of gross out gags that are directly lifted from previous movies, i mean how cheap. the script is so terrible, the first half is very mean spirited, and then the second half cheesily tries to be sweet and be like the American pie movies, but it all fails, the whole thing wreaks of cash in from the very beginning, and nudity a staple of the series is non existent, so most fans will be disappointed just with that. now look i didn't go into this movie wanting to bash it, and i would of loved to be able to have wrote a good review, of a solid spin off, but i never, i got a cheap cash in, there are a few references to the old Gan here, as Jim's dad says Jim and Michelle have now had a baby, but it feels forced, i mean Eugene levy was the funniest thing about the American pie movies, but his preseance here is just why, i mean you can see that they did try hard with his scenes, but he is just painfully mimicking, the scenes from the other movies, but its not his son this time around, its stifler's little brother, so it just isn't funny, i did have a couple of chuckles mostly from Eugene levy and Chris Owen as Jim's dad and Sherman, but apart from the novelty of seeing these two characters again, there is nothing to recommend this movie for
I've have just finished watching this movie and as an American Pie fan, this is a fair addition to the series. It is not quite as good as the first three in the series but I was not expecting it to be. The film is based around Matt Stifler (Steve Stifler's younger brother) Jim's dad is in this film quite often and Sherman makes a cameo appearance too as the councellor. The humour in the film feels slightly more immature than the first three with the gags/key scenes being less visual and many of the characters in the film are wasted; they are given too little to do. Matt Stifler is more a rude guy than Steve Stifler and less funny. The problem with this film is that it just focuses mainly on Matt Stifler whereas the first three American Pie's focused on more characters.There are some funny scenes but not as much as the first three films. It simply doesn't have the same magic as the first three. So don't expect this to be like the first three American Pie's cuz its not, its different
