Various Artists: American Pie 2 (2012)

Considering the prominent role flutes play in the Pie pics, you might hope for some Tull. Or maybe James' ''Laid,'' which plays throughout the trailer. Nope -- this is your basic bubblepunk sampler, featuring genre stars (Green Day, blink-182) and newcomers (a half-dozen blink wannabes), seasoned with moments of nonpunk sensitivity. Befitting the films' equation of horniness with wholesomeness, the bands are bratty and harmless, and generally hapless. Even Fenix*TX's promisingly titled ''Phoebe Cates,'' a tribute to another generation's teen-pic crush and ''going blind,'' is all thumbs.
