Watch American Pie Presents: Band Camp For Free

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Matt Stifler (Tad Hilgenbrink) is the younger brother of Steve Stifler. He's going to be a senior next year. After playing a prank on Elyse (Arielle Kebbel) and the school band, Stifler is punished by sending him to band camp by school counselor Sherminator. Nevertheless, Matt wants to be the next Stifler to do Girls Gone Wild type videos on the unsuspecting campers. Jim Levenstein (Eugene Levy) returns as the camp counselor to replace Jim's Michelle who's pregnant.This is strictly the leftovers, a straight to video movie. Tad is no Seann William Scott. Other than Arielle Kebbel and Eugene Levy, there isn't any notable actors. The story makes no sense, but worse of all, it's not funny. Basically, it's an easy way to do a pretty good franchise with a lot of tits on the cheap. It's quick money for the producers. I never really cared about the idiot or about the movie. But there are a lot worst out there.

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

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.

Whoever owns the rights to "American Pie" is being pretty capitalistic about it. You can name twenty characters Stifler if you want, it doesn't change the fact that this is a rather uninspired effort to cash in which bizarrely works. You can judge it standing by itself, but just keep in mind it was never intended to stand by itself. So here Stifler's brother Matt (who's not even the same guy from "American Pie 2") is punished for pulling an on all levels pretty lame prank. The Sherminator meanwhile has become a school counselor and sends him to band camp, which as it turns out, currently employs Jim's Dad. It's like bad fan fiction came to life. So naturally he pulls more pranks on the rivals like, two. They get back at him like, once. The rest is filled up with very bothersome references to the actual "American Pie"-movies, semi-naked chicks and extremely irritating love subplots including a horrendously clichéd nerd you just can't possibly side with. Add a last fifteen minutes that's like the Siberian prison edit of "Family Matters" and you start wondering why it's still somewhat enjoyable. Perhaps it's the presence of Eugene Levy in yet another movie he's too talented for. The sunscreen gag was pretty good too I guess. This "American Pie presents" crap needs to end though, even if you don't give any thought to how a movie can present anything, it's still a thorn in the eye to the franchise.
