Rating: Summary: I'd watch it again and again and again Review: This is one of those movies that I could sit in front of (and do) whenever it comes on cable. DJ Qualls is hilarious - just watch his reactions to situations. Great ensemble cast. You won't get anything philisophical out of this movie, but you won't care. Tom Greene is good, but nowhere near his MTV Show antics (which, for some, may be good...)
Rating: Summary: this was fun Review: i loved this movie. its about 4 friends going on a road trip to retrive a porno flick of one of the friends cheating on his girlfriend. the funniest part is the grandpa with the boner. if u want a hilarious comedy with a story rent this sex comedy. the unrated version has 5 more seconds of nudity then the rated version.
Rating: Summary: Greatest film of "Our" Time.. Review: The first time I saw this movie, it blew me away, there is deep philosophical ish, in this movie, you need to sit down and watch it, it isn't idiotic and it appeals to our generation, i'm 22, and I sat here watching this, the charactors you'll actually feel for them, though they're hardly in pain this has to be the most serious, yet hillarious film of our time, you have to see it, it's the best, crushes amercian pie, because it has meaning, watch it, and tell me different.
Rating: Summary: another reason to hate MTV Review: A ninth-rate attempt at a film about the great college tradition. Cannot compare to PCU, Revenge of the Nerds, Back to School, Real Genius, ANIMAL HOUSE, many others. This movie has nothing original, and Tom Green's role could have been much funnier. MTV films seem so politically correct, and this was no exeption. If you like the Disney/McDonalds-style crap music and brainless shows MTV mass produces these days, you'll probably enjoy this horrible film that drains stupid teen-agers of their allowance money.
Rating: Summary: Enjoy it at Face Value Review: ... The plot of the movie is little more than trying to get an incriminating videotape before it arrives at Brecken Myers' girlfriend's dorm, so the gang heads from Ithaca to Austin to get it. But along the way, a script peppered with some witty dialogue (yes, "witty"), some memorable visual gags, and likeable characters manages to keep you captivated. The unrated DVD features several scenes of nude women, which don't appear in the theatrical release. The behind the scenes featurette really isn't anything more than a look at the actors and crew goofing off, and the DVD-ROM game is pretty easy, so the special features here are somewhat lacking. But if you're just looking for something to chill out with, and to get a few cheap laughs from, this movie is worth it. If you're looking for the meaning of life, you won't find it here. (Maybe, "Dude, Where's My Car?")
Rating: Summary: Great if you enjoy gratuitous sex in a movie Review: Road Trip is fundamentally a teen film, designed to grab the attentions of hormonal-charged teens with nothing better to do on a Friday evening than buy a pizza and rent a video...while the parents are away, of course.The storyline is pretty good. Josh goes to Ithaca college in New York while his lifetime girlfriend, Tiffany, heads off to Austin, Texas to study vet. science. Of course, Josh succumbs to the temptations of the super-sexy Beth, who suggests they tape their romping on the covers (ya, that's Hollywood for you). The tape accidentally gets mailed to Tiffany and Josh and co. have three days to get to Austin to intercept the tape. As if Josh didn't have enough problems, he has to write an exam (and get a B+ or better) to stay in college. The result is a riotous road trip which culminates in a surprise ending. The story in narrated by the demented 8-year resident of Ithaca, Barry (Tom Green), who uses the story as a last-ditch effort to rope potential Ithaca students into signing up at the school. We are treated to some of the less normal aspects of Barry's mentality (such as eating a mouse to entice his friend's snake to eat one). Barry makes a good sideshow for a sex-charged movie that most members of the male gender will enjoy. Not the sort of thing to win oscars though.
Rating: Summary: Very Funny Review: This is a great film which is very funny. The DVD is better still because it has deleted scenes etc and has the best scene in the movie. It is a deleted scene when Kyle needs the toilet and a bad man comes out of the toilet door at the garage and gives him a noggin. This is the funniest scene ever and I cannot understand why they left it out in the first place! Overall it is an excellent film, a real laugh.
Rating: Summary: Tom Green did it again Review: Well, when it's good it's good no argument about it - I saw this movie several times, and laughed every time. Excellent scripts, not a single moment wasted in the film. The story is about guys who go on a road trip to get the tape that what accidently sent to the girlfriend of one of the guys. Anything and everything happens to them, so don't wait, if you're looking for a good comedy you found one, now buy it! Believe me, you'll enjoy it. I know I have.
Rating: Summary: Sure it's another teen comedy flick.. Review: I had doubts about this movie when I watched the commercials for it..but it was entertaining and funny! I reccomend this if you love to laugh..
Rating: Summary: Most accessible satire ever made Review: Despite many hints throughout the movie pointing to classical philosophy, no one seems to have picked up on that. Its not surprising, given the fact no one knows what satire is anymore, let alone finds it funny. The most amazing thing about this movie is the seamless blending of classical humor with pop culture buffoonery. The best part of this movie however is the obviously funny scenes that are either raved about or ripped on are obviously poking fun at mainstream culture. The movie ends with the main character having to pass a test on the Republic and Phaedo. As these were the two works where Plato outlined his conception of the forms, it comes as no surprise that this movie is entirely basing its humor on the absurdity of the close minded masses. Just as the cave dwellers were incapable of perceiving reality, only shadows, most of the humor as well as the point of this movie is entirely missed by those who have never laughed at anything but buffoonery and insults. It is unfortunate, because for those who laugh at the absurdity of life, we have little mass media art available to us. This is a movie you can really laugh at with your friends, instead of shaking your head with dismay at the repulsive humor of most movies. Of course, you won't be laughing at the same things as them really, but they won't know the difference. Everyone raves that Green is the only funny character... This movie very very closely follows the Greek theatrical form. All the main characters are archetypes of a particular personality type you would find in a top 500 university. Green plays the role of the chorus, mirroring what the average audience is likely to be thinking. Of course, he is the one with whom most identify. They don't realize he is really making fun of HIM. For those who critique the sexual content of the movie, most of it is presented in an egregarious fashion to point out how absurd sexual obsession is. When the movie ends, you will find the refrain of the song is something to the effect of "Now I know love and happiness are not the same". Even though philosophers have for ages proven time and again that our relationship-love-sex oriented lives are hollow, 98% of Americans focus their entire life on one of those things virtually all the time. This movie ultimately tries to shatter that irrational view. This movie will make you laugh about the absurdity of sexual monogamy, love and religious obsessions, rule based ethics in general, racial cliques (ie the black frat scene), asexual old people, aggressive meatheads, drug laws, you name it... This movie covers so much ground. But sadly, you have to be an atheist to enjoy this movie. Otherwise, you will be deeply offended. Theists, be warned.
