American Crap Pie

For the sake of going in a different direction with the type of movies I've been ranting about, I recently watched the American Pie movies. While I can't hate on the first three, Band camp is a different story. 
The originals were awsome, the characters were well rounded and all were developed in a realistic way.  You honestly care about each character, and where thier story went.
Now, maybe I just hate change, or maybe I just hate when a movie tries to introduce new characters and try to portray it as the same movie. If it didnt work for Saved By The Bell, it won't work for you.  The only two people that continued on, was Jim's dad and the Shermanator, clearly they weren't what made the originals work.  While I will give credit to Eugene Levy for being funny in an uncombfortable, the rest of the flick was just the same recycled jokes.
In this movie, Stifler's younger brother is the main focus of the flick.  Sure they did find an actor that could make the same shit eating grin as SeanWilliam Scott, but not one that could carry a movie.  A running joke in the movies is that Stiffler will consume some kind of disgusting bodily fluid without realizing it, of course it was attempted again.  In this half ass joke, baby Stiffler is sent to band camp and is soon the low man on the totom pole.  When it came time for the bullys to put spit into a soda for Stifler to drink, your'e over the joke before it starts.
It was a straight to DVD movie and it shows.  The story line was predictable and not very funny to begin with, and in the end Stiffler learns his lesson and gets the girl.  Beautiful.
The next two in the series weren't much better then Band Camp, but atleast went for more of an original idea.  Still using the Stiffler model for the movies, these two followed Stiffler's cousins.  One was a nerd, while the other was the general Stiffler model.  The Naked Mile and Beta House weren't great movies, but atleast got closer to the idea of not making a shit spinoff. 
American Reunion is about to come out, and I am excited to see the original cast together.  Hopefully I can move on and forget that one time at Band Camp. 
Yeah I did it.
