Summary: Crass but funny college lampoon
Review: "Road Trip" is sometimes funny, occasionally hilarious, but mostly puerile and sophomoric. It is yet another boorish lampoon of college life that relies on heavy doses of outrageousness, crassness and crudely sexual jokes to lure its audience. It was successful in this regard, grossing (no pun intended) close to $70 million on a meager $15 million budget. The film clearly targets MTV males and it knows its audience, offering plenty of gratuitous female nudity and chauvinistic aphorisms like, "It's not cheating if you're not in the same area code." I really don't have a problem with nudity, but having half a dozen scenes that linger gapingly on topless women who don't contribute anything to the story is nothing more than tasteless voyeurism used to pump up the testosterone factor.

The story itself is a flimsy and predictable excuse for a sitcom. Writer/Director Todd Phillips throws so much outlandish foolishness at the audience that he can't help but get a laugh every few minutes. In this regard, I have to give him credit for a job well done. He manages the actors and the comedy bits well and keeps the pace up.

The acting is probably the best part of the film. Breckin Meyer is excellent as the tortured hero trying to beat the videotape of his indiscretion to his girlfriend's dorm room. Meyer has a dry and deadpan wit that works well with all the inanity around him. MTV veteran Tom Green is so far around the bend in this film that he can see his own derriere. Green is a master of shock comedy and will do or say anything to get a reaction, including eating a live mouse. My favorite newcomer was DJ Qualls who played Kyle, the bashful geek whose looks alone provide continual physical comedy.

I usually enjoy lowbrow slapstick comedy but this was zanier than even I could handle. I rated it a 6/10. Add two points if you are in college and another two points if you are a male 25 or under. This film is not for the genteel or for those offended by vulgarity, nudity or promiscuity.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Extremely Funny Movie
Review: Road Trip is one of the funniest movies I have seen this year. Breckin Meyer, Tom Green and Sean William Scott are the main characters and are very funny.

The DVD has some nice extras such as a video by the Eel's and some deleted scenes that didn't make in the final cut of the film.

Overall, its a very funny movie, and will likely appeal to those that loved the American Pie movie.

Laugther is the best medicine, and you will get a lot of laughs from Road Trip.

Highly Recommended!!

Summary: Good Laughs, Decent DVD
Review: Let me begin by saying that this is a good movie, with a huge amount of laughs intact. I was a huge fan of the theatrical release and saw it twice with yes, good intentions. The DvD itself does not have a whole lot of extras, but the deleted scenes are very amusing. They easily bring up the question, "Why werent these included in the theatrical version?". Some of the deleted scenes are side splittingly funny, some just strange. Either way, they are enjoyable. The transfer is not the absolute best in the world, but it is good for our non-pesamistic dvd viewers. The "Unrated" classification for the movie makes me think....there really not that much different from the movie than from the theatrical. Still good though.

So, if you liked the movie, definately pick it up. It will sit right next to American Pie in your collection nicely.

Summary: Take a Road Trip with Tom Green!
Review: Road Trip has got to be one of, if not the, funniest movie of the year 2000. It will keep you laughing the entire time, and would make a great gift for any Tom Green fan for the holidays! If you haven't seen this movie yet and you need a good laugh, I seriously suggest checking this movie out now! If you have seen it and you don't own it yet, why are you reading my review, you should be at a store picking up your copy right now!

Summary: Not Too Bad
Review: This is one of the films from the summer of 2000 that actually made me laugh, intentionally. I am not saying that this film is anything more than what it is, but it is worth a look see. The lowbrow film genre has been pushed to the extremes, thanks primarily to the Farrelly Brothers. This film tries to steal some of that thunder, but gets a little lost on the way. There were parts that made me laugh pretty hard, then there were the parts that you could tell they wanted us to laugh, but the laughter just was not coming. See it for the big laughs, but the rest of it is just filler in between the next big joke.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie is really really good
Review: Ok this movie is one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. If u liked American Pie I guarantee u, that u will like this movie. I'm 14 and my friend and I went to see this movie not sure what to expect, we came out of the theatre asking when it would be out on video so we could watch it again again. If your in the mood for a laugh out loud comedy, buy this movie.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Suprisingly Funny
Review: I hate Tom Green. Let's get that established right away. But, suprisingly I enjoyed this movie. There was a lot of humor and a lot of grossness. It portrayed typical college dudes. A lot of new faces in this film and some old, but not seasoned ones. This movie is in the same category as films like Animal House and the new one, "Dude, Where's my car?" Although it doesn't live up to the standard that Animal House does, "Road Trip" is still funny and entertaing. Even for people that have never experienced a "Road Trip".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: dont miss road trip
Review: This movie is so funny, better then all the other movies like it, like theres something about mary and american pie. By far the funniest movie ive ever seen. In many movies, characters go on road trips as a portion of the overall plot, like in Dumb and Dumber and theres something about mary. Argueably, the road trip portion of the film is the funniest in the entire movie. Well this movie is a non stop road trip with so many misadventures, from a car wreck to a stop at a charcters viagra infested grandfather, this movie has it all. Action, suspense, romance and comedy that puts the farrely brothers to shame.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious & Original!
Review: This movie is very funny and well worth your time. I took my Mother to see this film and we laughed so hard we cried. Seriously. The jokes are pretty universal, and appeal to a wide audience. But, be forewarned this is adult humor though, and it's not for children.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: I've been on better trips
Review: Tears pages from a ton of different movies successes, but it is still pretty funny.

The movie's concept is a definite rip - a movie I just saw about a week ago documents the same thing - a guy sends his college girlfriend the infamous 'sex tape' and then tries to get to her to get the tape back. The movie starred Paul Rudd and Reese Witherspoon and was called "Overnight Delivery."

This movie's unique quality would be the diversity of its actors - it seems to be a much more diverse casting than the 'teen dream' castings of American Pie (which featured some of the most attractive teens in America 'stuck' as virgins) and She's All That (which pinned Rachael Leigh Cook as the 'ugly girl' - are you kidding????). This movie features an 'ugly guy' who - apologies to DJ Qualls - is actually not that attractive. The movie also seems to try and capitalize on Tom Green's popularity - it almost seems like they expanded his part, or even added his part, due to his growing popularity due to his hilarious MTV show. Breckin Meyer was great as Josh and Seann William Scott continues playing the jerk/jock role very well. Andy Dick is absolutely hilarious as well as very unrecognizable, hotel clerk.

The script isn't that creative, but it does have some highs, but with the highs come some lows. There were some parts that dragged - Green's character Barry telling the story - although essential to the story, seemed a bit more than necessary. The movie was quick - less than an hour and 20 minutes - but it worked in most parts, but the ending could have been expanded at the end. I don't want to spoil the ending, but if you watch the film, you'll notice that everything seems to change in the blink of an eye.

There was great deal of nudity - which surprised me - and I've heard Amy Smart was not very well briefed for the extent of her nudity. But she said that later she understood and it worked with the role.

Overall, it was definitely a better teen movie than the past few months have seen (Whatever It Takes) - but still didn't have that classic element that American Pie truly grasped.
