Amazon.co.uk Review
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 favourite 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. Fennessy

Don't expect much,
By
This review is from: American Pie Presents Band Camp [DVD] (DVD)
Don't listen to the previous reviewer, they clearly haven't seen the movie, or have certainly done a bad job of remembering it if they have. The two returning cast members are Eugene Levy (Jim's Dad) and Chris Owen who plays Chuck Sherman AKA The Shermanator, but his role is pretty minor. The character Paul Finch does not feature at all.First off, if you're thinking that this is American Pie 4, don't. This movie is a cheap spin-off designed to cash in on a tried and tested idea. The plot is weak and boring and the jokes, which are mostly copied from the 3 previous films are all very samey and dull. Tad Hilgenbrinck, who plays the movie's central character - Steve Stiffler's younger brother Matt does a reasonable job of imitating the original Stiffler traits but the rest of the cast are very weak and uninteresting. So, 'Band Camp' is vaguely likeable and fun. But would have undoublably been a flop if it had been released as a movie in it's own right, without a history and without the American Pie name associated with it. Regardless of whether they are standalone or part of a series all movies need to carry their own weight and this one doesn't. I'm imaging that like me, most American Pie fans will be curious to see this film even if they're not expececting much from it. So, I'd advise auditioning it before paying for your own copy. Trust me, you'll understand why once you've seen it!

Not the best american pie but still worth a watch i'd say.,

This review is from: American Pie Presents Band Camp [DVD] (DVD)
Okay I'll admit it it's not the best American Pie Film there is and at some points it does look like they are trying too hard to be like the 1st three films but it's still worth a watch the new Stifler is easily as funny and entertaining as Seann William Scott and it's great to see Eugene Levy back as Jim's dad and Sherman back in this one aswell even though he doesn't get a very big role compared to what he did in the first three..

As a Movie on it's own a definate yes...,
By Malcolm Clarke (Durham, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: American Pie Presents Band Camp [DVD] (DVD)
The actor who plays Stiflers brother is very convincing. He even looks like S.W. Scott.
As a part of the American Pie series of films I was expecting a total disaster. After all, they only used the "Band Camp" idea because they could not think of another link right to the other movies right? And the fact no original cast members featured is yet another reason to fear the worst. But actually on it's own it is a pretty good film. Although the gags are repeated, if you like the production and college antics of 1,2 and 3 then you will enjoy the film. Sexy girls, decent plot, an enjoyable hour or two. However if you watch the originals, and then this, you will notice that the American Pie originals are far better. However, on it's own a decent effort. Despite my enjoyment of the film, there is an overall feel they are trying to re-create something, when if the original cast are not in it should be left to what has already been done. That said, I believe there is now a 5th installment that has just gone straight to video!
