The American Pie trilogy the ones that defined my high school career. The ones where we got the Term MILF from forever etched into our minds. When thinking of American Pie you think of Jim the kid who fucked the apple pie and then went on to marry the Nympho Band geek chick. But then we get into the movies I am going to review.....
Here is American Pie Presents Band Camp.
The story is about Steve Stiffler's little brother Matt (Tad Hilgenbrink)and like his elder half wit sex crazed brother. Matt is following the same foot path, everyone in the high school hates him but pretends to like him because he is rich. After a half successful half failed Graduation prank. Matt is sent to spend the summer at Tall Oaks Band Camp. Before leaving he hatches a hair brained scheme to film the freaky sex acts he heard about from Jim. HIJINX and budding love (via Stockholm syndrom) ensue. We see the gradual shifting of Matt Stiffler from sex crazed asshole to sex crazed nerd lover.
The reluctant catalyst of the transformation in Matt comes in the form or the Catherin Heigl.....I mean Arielle Kebbel a former childhood friend of Matt who turned against him because Matt became to much like Steve. Only to fall in love with Matt during the summer. The budding relationship is tested when Elyse finds out Matt's plan involving the other campers. When Matt redeems himself later she forgives him.
It is your typical cliche teen drama comedy story. The acting besides for the Elyse character is mind rapingly bad. The Dialog is cheesy at best and down right idiotic at worst. Even the band characters are out of place and unbelievable except for the super nerd he was the only believable side character in all of this douchebaggery.
American Pie Presents Band Camp gets a 5 out of 10. The story, pacing issues, dialog and cinematography all make for a bad movie that leaves a rancid taste in your mouth. The only redeemers to this movie are Elyse (Arielle Kebbel) and Mr. Levinstien (Eugean Levy). Do yourself a favor and if you are oging to watch this movie watch it drunk and or high. That will probably make this movie Tolerable.
