What makes it different from others?

Such a frustrating disappointment

Fantastic!

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

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.

Tenacious young Tad Hilgenbrink (as Matt Stifler, brother of Steve) is sent to "Band Camp" for monkeying around with his school's instruments. There, he plans to take moving pictures of women undressing. Go figure. Anyway, he falls for adorable Arielle Kebbel (as Elyse), which helps him make a "mature" decision about his stiffing collection. Erstwhile Eugene Levy (as Mr. Levenstein) is around, to help weakly provide "Pie" continuity. Not even half-baked shenanigans, for this fourth serving of the "American Pie" film franchise. Ms. Kebbel and the "playmates" are very sexy. Mr. Hilgenbrink makes a noteworthy first impression, in the starring role; but, this material is just mind-bogglingly weak. Whatever. Beats unemployment.** American Pie presents Band Camp (2005) Steve Rash ~ Tad Hilgenbrink, Arielle Kebbel, Eugene Levy

I'm not a big fan of spin-offs, but this movie actually wasn't that bad compared to the 2 other spin-offs of American Pie just recently made (Naked Mile & Beta House).This movie was okay because it still kept a general sense of what the original American Pie was about, and even though it was Stifler's little brother, it still felt a lot Sean William Scott when you're watching him. I also like the fact that this one is clean enough to be edited down and shown on TV unlike any other American Pie movie so far.This movie also has a better ending than any other American Pie movie I've seen because Stifler actually learned a lesson and changed his attitude/behavior it felt somewhat nicer for me to see a happy ending rather than a big party scene at the end of every movie.All in all, my favorite from the spin-offs so far. i recommend it to anyone, who's ever gone to band camp or plays in a band, and who likes American pie.Oh and by the way, "This one time, at band camp, my sister whacked me in the head with her clarinet."

This film is about Matt Stiffler messing up the school band performance. He subsequently gets sent to a Band Camp to befriend the school band members as a way to make up.Many of the original American pie jokes are still here, and they are funny. Matt Stiffler gets into one mischief after another, and they are all hilarious. The costumes of the bands look bright and smart. I particularly enjoy the scenes where bands play, especially the ending scene. They must have practised for a long time to play the various instruments in a formation! It's great to see the American Pie being set in a musical environment, it is certainly a nice change. Even if people don't enjoy the jokes, they can still at least enjoy the music!
