Great Film: American Pie Presents Band Camp
Pleasantly Surprised
After hearing quite a few negative comments/remarks/reviews about this
film, I had somewhat lowered expectations.
Not to mention the fact that it was following what is undoubtedly the
greatest comedy trilogy of our generation, and perhaps arguably any
other. Attempting to follow the footsteps of any of the American Pie's
is quite a task, let alone all three.
Anyway, I expected disappointment. This was in no way as good or as
funny as American Pie 2 or American Wedding, nor was it as
groundbreaking as American Pie. But, there were certainly a lot of
laughs. I was impressed at the acting of the guy who played Stiffler's
younger brother.
As someone who basically grew up with the American Pie movie series,
I'll always enjoy those movies, and watch them with a sense of
nostalgia, for I was in similar points in my life to all the characters
at the times the moview were originally released. For that reason this
movie actually made me feel old.
Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised by this movie, and am considering
adding it to the collection. I'd say it's a solid 7-8 out of 10.
Definitely worth watching, but not quite the caliber of the original
three.
