Includes the sex comedies AMERICAN PIE PRESENTS: BAND CAMP and THE 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN. A spin-off from the successful AMERICAN PIE film trilogy, AMERICAN PIE PRESENTS: BAND CAMP meets up with Matt, the younger brother of Steve Stiffler, the stand-out obnoxious character from the first three films. In this instalment, Matt receives the punishment of being sent to the notorious band camp. Mischief and bad manners seem to run in the family, as Matt plays every practical joke in the book on his innocent campmates. It's all raunchy fun and games until a serious crush threatens to change Matt's fun-loving demeanour. In THE 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN, Andy Stitzer has everything he needs in his life except a girlfriend. He's never even made love to a woman and he's forty years old. When he meets his dream date Trish, their relationship begins with a no-sex rule and Andy finds that all the sex advice in the world won't help him navigate the choppy waters of an adult relationship.

American Pie: Band Camp

A spin-off rather than a sequel, Band Camp is the fourth entry in the American Pie franchise, but the first without the original cast. Instead a new trash-talking teen takes the lead. His name is Matt (Tad Hilgenbrinck) and he's Steve Stifler's younger brother (and despite the dark hair, Hilgenbrinck does resemble Seann William Scott--without the impish charm). There's nothing the football playing party boy hates more than bandies, the geeky members of the high school band. After he gets caught "punking" his favorite victims, he's sent to the guidance counselor, a redheaded gent known as the Sherminator (Chris Owen), who recommends band camp as penance. Since Steve has moved on to become a Girls Gone Wild impresario, Matt decides he'll make his own R-rated opus, "Bandies Gone Wild." This means spying on the well endowed camp counselors and other unwitting campers while they're showering, sunbathing, etc. When the not-so-bright triangle player gets caught yet again, his new friends abandon him, leading Stiffmeister Jr. to believe he just may have gone too far. Band Camp, which was released straight to DVD, plays more like Porky's than American Pie, and features Eugene Levy as Mr. Levenstein, AKA "Jim's Dad," the camp's conflict resolution officer and ex-porn star Ginger Lynn Allen as the camp nurse. --Kathleen C.

The 40 Year Old Virgin

Cult comic actor Steve Carell--long adored for his supporting work on The Daily Show and in movies like Bruce Almighty and Anchorman--leaps into leading man status with The 40 Year-Old Virgin. There's no point describing the plot; it's about how a 40 year-old virgin named Andy (Carell) finally finds true love and gets laid. Along the way, there are very funny scenes involving being coached by his friends, speed dating, being propositioned by his female manager, and getting his chest waxed. Carell finds both humour and humanity in Andy, and the supporting cast includes some standout comic work from Paul Rudd (Clueless, The Shape of Things) and Jane Lynch (Best in Show, A Mighty Wind), as well as an unusually straight performance from Catherine Keener (Lovely & Amazing, Being John Malkovich). And yet... something about the movie misses the mark. It skirts around the topic of male sexual anxiety, mining it for easy jokes, but never really digs into anything that would make the men in the audience actually squirm--and it's a lot less funny as a result. Nonetheless, there are many great bits, and Carell deserves the chance to shine. --Bret Fetzer
