How else to explain his appearance in the straight-to-DVD sequel, “American Pie presents: Band Camp”? I didn’t even know anything about this coming out until there was a sticker on the front of the “40 Year Old Virgin” DVD hyping it, then there’s a preview for the flick on the disc as well. I’ve never heard of Tad Hilgenbrink, but he plays Stifler’s brother, who – if I’ve got the gist of it – is basically sentenced to attend band camp. Presumably, shenanigans and wacky hijinks ensue. You can’t argue Hilgenbrink’s resemblance to Seann William Scott, but, c’mon, does anyone really believe this is going to be any good…? I mean, fer chrissakes, if “Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo” can score theatrical release, how awful must this be to go straight to video? I guess the studio figures it’s the straight-to-video crowd who’ll be most likely to watch it, anyway – the phrase “it might be worth a rental” is a staple of most movie-related conversations nowadays – but I question if it’ll be worth even that…
