National Lampoon's Senior Trip

Summary: Don't Waste Your $$
Review: Although I have liked the National Lampoon flicks and have seen them all (several are in my all-time favorite category), this one, except for Tommy Chong is a total waste of time. Tommy plays a minor role but is the only character who does not overact as a compensation for terrible writing. And that is the great flaw here since it is generally well cast. The writing is horrible and trying to find a laugh is not easy... a few smiles maybe... and I was in the mood for a good laugh. Mind you, I do like most comedies... event those the critics do not like. Save your money.

Summary: One of the funniest I've ever seen.
Review: I remember the first time i watched this movie, from the scene were the two guys stumble out of an old mail jeep (with an immense smoke cloud following them) after they just ran into their school's flagpole, i laughed as hard as i could and i didnt stop until the credits were done. Its one of those few movies that actually makes you hurt because your laughing so much. Tommy Chong and that guy from the kids in the hall (i cant believe i can't remember his name, he was my favorite)both do a great job in this movie. Tommy basically plays the old chong character, but this time he's a school bus driver, and he actually reminds me of this one bus driver i had that let us do anything. Kevin Mcdonald (I remember now) does a amazing comic job as a psychopathic, crossing guard, star-trek junkie who somehow believes that one of the students is a Klingon ambasador and must be termanated. The basic story isnt anything special, basically the kids have to get to washington in a few days to speak at a senate hearing on education reform. But the comic brilliance of the scenes that actually take place in this movie are pure gold. I can't believe this didnt come out in theatres (or did it?) because im sure it would be a smash with the youth market. It really does rank up there with Kingpin, maybe a little less funny, but if you like Kingpin then theres no doubt you'd love this. But please, if you are offended by ANYTHING, then dont watch this movie, you'll just want to complain about how offensive or mean-spirited it is. As a side note, I dont understand how people can actually be offended by something they see in a movie, can't they just forgot their ego for a second and laugh? Also there are two versions of the movie, one edited and one uncut. I'd say go with the edited, because all of the scenes that were cut desearved to be cut, they just were not that funny and kind of brought the whole movie down. Especially the alternate ending where there is a final confontation between the crossing guard and the stoner guy, it was a few chuckles but the original ending was much better.

Summary: Watch it with an open mind and you'll be surprised
Review: I'll never forget when I heard that Tommy Chong was going to be in a movie on the previews and I was a Cheech and Chong fan at the time and although I didn't see it in the movie theater cause I wasn't old enough to watch it but we rented it and me and my family were laughing our butts off, and we taped it when it came on Starz movie channel and the tape got destroyed a few months later from watching it constantly, but a few years ago I decided to buy this movie on VHS (not sure if it's released on DVD or not) and I'm glad that I own this movie.

The movie takes place in Fairmount High School somewhere located in Ohio where this persistant principal makes sure that the students show up to class on time, but here we meet the main characters Dags and Reggie who are stoners show up late to class in an old Jeep and they crashed the pole and it lands on the principal's brand new car!! That scene was hilarious, then they cause a havoc at the assembly and the students decide to skip school and go party at the principal's house but unfortunately the principal finds out about it he is MAD!! There are some hilarious scenes at the party where I won't mention, then the principal gives the students a Saturday detention and the students claim that the government sucks and the principal wants the students to write a 500 word letter to the president about how they feel, then the president reads the letter and he really thought well of it and he invites the students to Washington D.C. to express themselves about how they feel about the school system, we then get to meet Senator John Lerman who is a bad guy cause he wants to make the president a laughing stock and he wants to become the president and the students go off to Washington D.C. and there are a bunch of hilarious moments throughout the movie which I'm going to keep for myself, and Tommy Chong plays the stoner bus driver who is really hilarious throughout the movie.

I was surprised to hear that the movie got really bad reviews from the critics and I think that their problem is that they don't have much of an open mind and it bombed in the box office which was unfortunate, if you're in the mood for a comedy where you just want to sit down and laugh, this movie is recommended.

Summary: not the baddest bunch in teh lamppon series
Review: its not that bad, I mean it had a lot of great moments people and tehre were some downfalls but please. MAtt Frewer was good and so was Jeremy Renner as Dags. also note that Jeremy Renner goes on to play Jeffrey Dahmer in Dahmer and also can be scene in season 1 of ANGEL as Penn. Kevin McDoanld as the crossguard/wanna be star trek fan is hilarious. the fat guy played by Eric Edwards(note he was teh fat blob in BLADE) who has a fasination with blonde asians is uproarous. Tommy Chong as Red is awesome and Renner's stoner buddy is great as the stoner who keeps seeing Kevin McDonald and his blowup doll. the part where their taking the picture and Edwards blows a fart igniting McDonald on fire is teh highlight.

Summary: National Lampoon's Senior Trip the greates movie of all time
Review: Senior Trip is the greatest ... movie of all time!!! I remember when I first time I saw it. I saw it w/ my best friend and we started to cry because it was so funny. It was so histarical. No other movie even comes close to how funny it was. There is only one flaw to make it a 100% movie... it should be a DVD it still isn't one... I'm mad a bout that. New Line Cinema should make it a DVD. I don't see why they don't do it. Anyways it's my favorite movie of all time... So I guess thats it so... See it!!! I really recomend you should... I promise you won't be dissapointed!!!

Summary: Comic Genius
Review: the average Joe on the street has probably never even heard of this movie, and for that they get my sincerest condolences. To sum this movie up in any other words than: 'f***ing hillarious' would mean that you've probably discarded your sense of humour for something else, like say, ice water in your veins. Granted, the ending is cheesy as they come, but after watching two VHS tapes to pieces (litterally!),I have finally procured the DVD!
A MUST see for everyone that thought Van Wilder, Road Trip etc. was funny. THIS movie is the greatest teen comedy ever, bar none!

Summary: Great movie. Funny as hell.
Review: The first time I saw this movie, I was rolling on the floor from laughing so hard. The actors, storyline, all perfect, especially Matt Frewer who plays... principal everyone despises. Best part: when Miowski(a fat Cheetos addict) takes a leak from the back of the bus right onto a trailing minivan, and then the driver casually turns on the winshield wipers. That part was a classic. Dopers Richie and Dagastino (Dags for short) are great as well. Overall: this is one high school field trip you'll want to take again and again.

Summary: Kevin McDonald is God's gift to American cinema
Review: This movie would be nothing without the brilliance and gracefulness of the young Canadian actor, Kevin McDonald.
His portrayal of the crossing guard is something that can only be compared to Brando in the Godfather.

Summary: A Lost Gem
Review: You're probably wondering why I'm rating this film so damn high. It's because I have a particular taste for this. I love this film. I'm a huge Kevin McDonald fan and the role he plays is just priceless. So, seeing that this film finally came to DVD, I'm not overjoyed, I'm ecstatic.

The film is simple. Really bad class make a foolish mistake after Principal tells them to, Senator with bad plot to President sees bad class, and wants to bring bad class to Capitol Hill to ruin President. It's simple, see? But, the antics that follow are so golden, so hysterical. Especially Chong's role as the sedated bus driver. Matt Frewer is also classic as well as Jeremy Renner and Rob Moore...both who should be in more films.

The film also boasts a killer soundtrack that I will always listen to, to this day. With rock and a great cast and some hysterical moments, this is a definite to your DVD collection. It's a bit dated, mostly because the times and all, but it's so good. I say this with all honesty, this movie really deserved better than it received, and since I have an opportunity to review this first, I shall put this movie to it's high rank! A ha!

Buy this...NOW. It's...great.

Good comedy for rainy day times.
