daworldismine 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

Martin Pollard The original American Pie pitched itself somewhere between Animal House and There's Something About Mary: a kind of warm-hearted, gross-out comedy about wayward, sex-obsessed teens. This travesty of a third sequel manages to turn the concept completely on its head by making a comedy FOR sex-obsessed teens, and ones who don't understand subtlety, irony or indeed humour. Where the original relied on a cast of average-looking males who generally stayed on the right side of lovable, this one focuses on the brother of that first film's deliberately irritating Stiffler. And this Stiffler, goes the brain-addled writers' pitch for Band Camp, is one whose antics we are supposed to rejoice at. What results is depressingly inane, and actually manages the feat of being more desperate and pathetic than Porky's, which the first film was (in the main) sending up. It is devoid of any laughs at all, and the worst thing is that Eugene Levy is in it. He looks, as he should, thoroughly embarrassed in every scene.

Jerique If it wasn't for Arielle Kebbel I doubt I would have bothered with the film. I wasn't really up for a film to be a spin-off from the original American Pie. While the spin-offs don't have much acclaim, this one isn't so terrible. It has a few good jokes and it's story is endearing.Matt Stifler (Tad Hilgenbrink) is older now and is trying to follow his brother, Steve, now in the porn industry. However, Matt's school prank against the band goes wrong and it gets him stuck at Band Camp. Chris Owen and Eugene Levy returning are the other reasons that make this installment of American Pie worthwhile.Tad Hilgenbrink resembles Sean William Scott in a lot of ways, which is a reason that makes the film work in a way. However, the plot is kinda flawed as Matt becomes emotional and caring whereas Steve Stifler never really cared about anything, or anyone.I still view this movie as reason to gawk and goggle at Arielle Kebbel. She's never looked hotter and she's the main attraction to this film. It's definitely not for kids and it's not entirely in the same raunchy category as the original American Pie or the sequel, but it does justice somewhat to them. It still is quite loyal and I view this one as the final sequel to the original films...at least until American Pie 4.

powerfull_jedi Sequels are funny thing in the business, however one can tell when a movie franchise got past it's prime and it's now featured in direct-to-video sequels. I normally don't dwell into this world, but I decided to give it a shot. American Pie: Band Camp is a weak attempt at comedy, it only hurts itself by having some of the original characters from the earlier movies. Stiffler's younger brothers gets sent to band camp after messing up a rehearsal, but tries to make smutty hidden camera videos from the band camp members. I barely laughed at the film, was only grossed out by a few scenes(which have become mandatory in teen comedies), but one does wonder how weak this looks compared to Superbad which honestly relies more on dialog to get it's point across. Also Stiffler's brother's cursing doesn't work anymore, Sean William Scott(the true hero of American Wedding) already squeeze the last of the American Pie funny bone juice out of this franchise. The actors make it clear that this is a direct-to-video release and I'm surprised Eugene Levy and Timothy Stack would even bother to show up on a movie, did Levy appear just tell us that this is an American Pie movie? Never mind, if you like teen comedies, don't bother. It's not worth the rental.
