Alright, most likely you are reading this because you are either a concerned parent or under 21, so with that in mind... here it goes:
I've seen the other 3 AP films with mixed feelings (mostly good) but this film is better left unwatched. Why?
The humor was utterly predictable, this was really bad even for a film with a meagre budget of 10 million dollars. Yeah, I know that this is aimed at teens (no offense)and lowbrows (can you be offended?) but come on...
The acting was so unnatural I kept my eyes open for the shadow of a teleprompter...
The script is nothing more than a dirty version of every "Gone to Camp" film ever made...
Your imagination is probably more interesting than the images on the screen... of course little is left to the imagination.

Any money spent on the purchase of this "watch it once and try to forget it" movie is money lost forever. Did I mention that I threw this away within 24 hours of buying it?
Straight to video and directly to the garbage truck or pawn shop.

Although it doesn't live up to its predecessors, American Pie 4: Band Camp, is still a pretty good comedy. The big stars from the trilogy are overall absent as the movie focuses on Steve Stifler's little brother Matt. Idolizing the Stiffmeister and trying to live up to his reputation, Matt is going to land in a whole lot of trouble resulting in his being sent to Band Camp of all places for punishment and rehabilitation...
The movie, though not a masterpiece, is quite funny and it is guaranteed to provide more than a just a few laughs. The casting is pretty good with Tad Hilgenbrink having done a great job as Matt Stifler and being convincing in his role as the Stiffmeister's little brother. It's just too bad that most of the original characters are missing. An appearance by Seann William Scott would have been great!
The setting, the dialogues, and the humor, are overall good, while the music is just WONDERFUL!
As for the film's highlight, it has to be the bagpipe scene, which really steals the show!
Overall, it is a movie worth watching, and even though quite silly at times, it will surely put you in a good mood! 3½ Stars

I rented this movie w/ an open mind thinking that it wouldent compare to the original 3. well, i was wrong! this movie has 2 remaining Characters from the original 2 (not Wedding) Sheminater, Jims Dad, and Stiflers Mom( Very breif, one of those things if you blink you miss it)Well I liked it so much I purchased it! What happens is that stifflers bro Matt gets sentenced to band camp! The Rest find out Yourself people who love nudie parts get the Unrated Extended Cut

This one will be brief. The movie is an excuse for young actors to use the "F" word and demonstrate that cannot act. The characters are cheap rip-offs of the original, which is to say one-dimensional. American Pie presents Band Camp certainly does not flesh them out. One final note: Eugene Levy- How much cash had to be thrown at your to take this one on?

Well, this came out here in New Zealand about half way through October, I don't know why its taking so long to be realeased here. But don't worry its not worth the wait. I has maybe 2 American Pie standard funny parts, the rest is really average. The guy that plays Stifflers brother is quite good, maybe a bit to good, instead of playing his brother he comes across as trying to act EXACTLY like Stiffler. Theres also a lot of near nudity parts, this usually doesn't bother me but its really obvious they used bad editing to basically cut everthing, which as you isn't like and American Pie movie. Rent if you must, but don't buy.
