To be honest, it seems like the American Pie franchise is being milked for all it's worth. The first one was a classic, the second one was good in it's own way, the third one was [i]really[/i] pushing it...yet, surprisingly, the fourth one is pretty good.
Stifler's little brother, Matt, is all grown up and attempting to follow in his brother's footsteps. After a prank, he's punished by being sent to Band Camp, otherwise known as Geek central. However, remembering his brother's friend Jim's bandee nympho wife, Michelle, Matt realises that band geeks have a hell of a lot of sex. So, being a Stifler, he decides to secretly film it.
The plot is basically that of a teenage fantasy. The plot relies on a series of strange co-incidences and unlikely and unbelievable twists, and ends with the normal, romantic happy ending. There's the miss-understandings, mixed messages, mistakes which are then forgiven after a grand romantic gesture, and a change of heart which makes the a-type bad boy into a nice guy for his special girl. The word *bleep*, along with many other words (which would undoubtedly also be *bleep*ed out if I actually wrote them) are spammed almost to the point of annoyance, and the sexual jokes are even more abundant than in the previous films.
Nonetheless, the film is undoubtedly hilarious, and the actors aren't disappointing. Very few of the original characters are in this film. The Sherminator is back, as a very strange guidance counsellor, and Jim's dad appears, this time as the camp counsellor.
All in all, it's a pretty good, swear and sex filled teen movie, but it doesn't even come close to the original film, or even the first sequel. Nonetheless, it's sweet, even if the female lead does resemble a walking lollipop (her body is too slim for her head - those actresses both scare me and make me feel inadequate.).
