Summary: Funny, BUT¿
Review: Road Trip, while having quite a handful of hilarious scenes and being entertaining leaves me a bit lukewarm mainly because of the basic premise of the movie...

THE STORY:

Josh (Breckin Meyer) succumbs to temptation and has a one-night stand with a lovely classmate who's had the hots for him, Beth (Amy Smart), an encounter that they taped. When Josh's sex tape is accidentally mailed to his near lifelong girlfriend Tiffany (Rachel Blanchard), Josh and his posse of dorm buddies (lech E.L., nerd Kyle and stoner Rubin) pack up for a Road Trip to intercept the tape before Tiffany receives it.

THE ANALYSIS:

The movie is full of humorous (and some quite disturbing) moments. The clear star of the movie for me was Seann "Stifler" William Scott who portrayed Josh's best bud E.L. who single-handedly had THE BEST SCENE in the movie at the "donor clinic." The humor value is right up there with most other movies in the "teen comedy" genre as of late, ...

The main problem that I have with the movie though is actually the basic plot of the movie. Call me old-fashioned but I find it disturbing that the movie is basically about a guy who cheats on his girlfriend and goes to ANY and ALL lengths (including using and abusing a "friend" to aid him, lying, stealing, etc.) to cover his tracks. It further bothers me that he actually has friends willing to back him up on it.

Equally disturbing was Tom Green's character and his maniacal obsession with killing mice. Where's the humor/entertainment value in that???

Aside from those two criticism's the movie was pretty funny and entertaining. The many misadventures that the crew encounters as they travel from Ithaca, NY to Austin, Texas are pretty hilarious and should keep you laughing and amused.

...THE VERDICT:

Again, the film was hilarious and entertaining ..., but still the overall plot and Tom Green's character may leave you with a bit of a bad taste...

(Mildly) Recommended

Summary: WHAT AN AWESOME TRIP!!!!
Review: This has got to be one of the funniest and most overlooked movies in recent years! I'm certain that the awful theatrical trailer with Tom Green has got to be the reason that more people didn't flock to this flick. It just depended too much on Tom Green's loud mouth and not the actual comedic content in the movie. Despite being the narrator of the movie, Green is not by any means the primary source of humor in "Road Trip." The unique thing about this movie is that the laughs come from all directions, not just from the main characters, as is typically the case. My friends and I, even my girlfriend who usually shys away from crude comedies, were all surprised at just how much better this was than we had expected. The plot, which has 4 teens taking a road trip to another state to intercept a sex video before it falls into the wrong hands, is actually a lot more clever than it sounds. The people and predicaments these guys come across are completly original and unlike anything you've seen in comedies before. All of the main characters are played perfectly by relative new-comers; even Tom Green, who's not exactly known for his great acting abilites, did a commendable job. Each of the characters had traits and qualities that almost everyone could relate to. Simply put, this is a great movie for teens as well as adults who might have forgotten the fun they had in their younger days. Definitely worth owning on DVD or VHS!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: More fun then a vacation!
Review: This no-holds-barred comedy is one hilarious movie! ROAD TRIP is basically a rude, crude, nasty movie from start to finish! People may be offended with the rude acts in this movie, but forget them! It's supposed to be fun.

When a college student named Josh accidently sends an lurid and incriminating tape having sex with a girl to his girlfriend in Texas, he and his pals decide to travel 1800 miles in three days in order to prevent the tape from getting there! The results are laugh out loud funny. They go through several detours including a blown-up car and mishaps with stereotypical people. Tom Green is the funniest member of the talented cast by "narrating" his story to us.

Seann William Scott(AMERICAN PIE fame) also stars in this 2000 unrated edition DVD, which shows more nudity and crude acts not seen from the theatrical version!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Take this road!
Review: I expected this to be a stupid movie about four stupid guys who go for a drive, with Tom Green making appearances throughout. But fortunately I was wrong about this hilarious movie. Road Trip is about an average college guy, Josh (played by Breckin Meyer), who chases down a videotape recording of him cheating on his girlfriend (Rachel Blanchard) with the beautiful Beth (Amy Smart). This video is accidentally sent to his girlfriend, who goes to school half-way across the country, thus inspiring a road trip to retrieve the tape before his girlfriend views it. While Barry (Tom Green) stays back at the dorms to feed a live mouse to Rubin's pet snake, Josh and his three friend Kyle, Rubin, and E.L. embark on their long trip. As Josh and his hilarious friends travel across the country to save his long-distance relationship, they have many laughs and adventures, and along their journey they all realize important things about themselves which makes this movie end with a sort of reassuring, happy sigh. Some of the deleted scenes are really funny. They feature more of Barry giving his campus tour, Rubin's cool dance beats, and Josh's run-ins with cops and Barry's grandma who's "seen it all before."

Summary: Beats the hell out of Eurotrip!
Review: This movie is hilarious from start to finish. A MUST-BUY!!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Subpar, to say the least
Review: Going into this, I thought I would like this movie. I figured it would tread the same line as the American Pie movies. I found it, however, very disappointing. I've never been a fan of Tom Green. His patent "Confused stare" is stomach churning. An accidental genious, if you will, and I am glad America has woken up from their hypnotized state that he had over them. All the other characters are unlikeable. The pot head kid is an arrogant, self-serving, character that is too smart for his own good. DJ Qualls is too whiny in the beginning and then is too full of himself at the end. Sean William Scott tries but fails to save this movie by delivering a second-rate Stifler. The ending feels too much like a cop out. Breckin Meyer gets saved because of Tom Green's stupidity. If only Tom Green would have taped over Paris Hilton's tape. A better ending would have been if his girlfriend beat him to a bloody mess.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: a typically entertaining reitman film
Review: Like all of Ivan Reitman's films, "Road Trip" is a consistently funny- at times hilarious - story involving characters whom you come to care about in one way or another. Rather than creating cartoonish caricatures, Reitman creates somewhat real characters who find themselves in sometimes outlandish and far-fetched situations.
"Road Trip" is one of those movies with an entertainment value that holds up well for a second or third viewing.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Collegiate Catastrophe
Review: From the outside looking in, Ithaca University seems to be traditional in every aspect; however, nothing is farther from the truth. "Road Trip", a crude spin-off of National Lampoon's "Animal House", collided with viewers in 1998. Ivan Reitman, producer of Animal House and now executive producer of "Road Trip", injects his entertainment style into this action packed, comedy loaded with extra flavor. Directed by Tod Phillips, creator of the award documentary "Frat House", and scripted by Scot Armstrong, "Road Trip" takes a glimpse at the precarious nature of college life.
Compliments of Canadian comedian Tom Green, the cast ignite as Barry (Tom Green), a professional college student, leads a campus tour on an expedition of erotic proportions. Barry encompasses the college experience by demonstrating experiences gained at Ithaca University. Shock and scrutiny ravened the affixed pupils of the audience for one hour and thirty-four minutes as four college aged coconspirators hit the highway in lei of heading off a catastrophe. Josh (Breckin Meyer), who played in "Clueless", "54" and "GO", is the films central character. Josh and his long time girlfriend, Tiffany (Rachel Blanchard), of TV series "Clueless", have been nurturing their infatuation since fifth grade.
Keeping their long distance romance kindled proves even harder when Beth (Amy Smart) of "Varsity Blue" fame, begins enticing Josh and his unsatisfied desires. Desire turns into disaster when an intimate moment ends up on VHS and is mistakenly mailed to Josh's distant girlfriend. In a desperate rage of hormones and humor, Josh along with the outgoing and catastrophic comedy of E.L. (Seann William Scott), of "American Pie" fame, rustles the dorm dweeb into letting them take his car. Balancing out the ensemble is Rubin (Paulo Costanzo), who adds intelligence along with an intrinsic quality to the cast. With finals approaching, relationships in Jeopardy, and love on the line, the four comrades take off in pursuit of adventure and eventually humility.
I'd give this crude comedy four stars for accelerated laughter. If you are looking for intelligence in higher education, register for "Road Trip". "Road trip" is just that, a trip!
