Nice effects though.
Memorable, crazy movie
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Road Trip is a good movie with a decent storyline that is certainly a cliché college movie but a lovable cast and enjoyable characters make it more watchable that most immature college movies.Its nothing close to a fantastic comedy and certainly not Todd Phillips finest work,but there are still plenty of funny scenes to make this a short fun movie to watch,preferably with friends.The best part of the movie was definitely Breckin Meyer and Seann William Scott,I always enjoy these two,even when I see a movie with them that i'm not particularly enjoying,they make it more bearable,and they both worked really well with each other in this.If your taste in comedy is fussy,I wouldn't recommend Road Trip,but if you want a short movie to have a good few laughs at,it will definitely deliver.Four college students set of on a road trip to stop their buddy's girlfriend from receiving an explicit home made video tape of her unfaithful boyfriend in action.
Well, I must have a problem with comedy movies. This was supposed to be fun, I've seen lots of reviews affirming it was fun, but I don't remember laughing even one time. Of course it had it's almost funny moments, but not enough to make me laugh. I was gonna rate it lower because of being similar to many other movies like "American Pie", "Eurotrip", "Sex Drive" and "Dude Where's My Car"... but hey, all these movies came after, so it was refreshing when released. A great point of the movie was showing that there is no "soulmate", our feelings for other people can change not so rarely. Also was nice to show that inside all the geeks, there is some coolness hidden. Also interesting showing that behavior and personality CAN change, just like happened to Kyle. Worth watching but didn't work as laughter for me, maybe next time.
Road Trip takes place more on the road than in the college and this can be seen as a good thing. The adventure was okay but the movie really wasn't that funny. Im a fan of the American Pie series (first 3) but this movie just wasn't all that people were saying about it. There were many unnecessary stops along the way. Most of those detours involve the Sacred Duo of Collegiate Intemperance: mood-altering substances and sex. There's a stop to make deposits at a sperm bank when they run out of money. There's a stop at a college where they end up partying with members of a black fraternity, and where Kyle loses his virginity to a larger woman. And there's an overnight stay with an elderly couple (Barry's grandparents) where the grizzled man of the house gets stoned and hallucinates a conversation with his dog. However none of this things were as funny as it sounds. The group of friends were okay with the exception of Rubin and Kyle (they were both utterly annoying, specifically Rubin).Only it's just not all that funny. Unlike the pointlessly message-mongering American Pie, Road Trip never pretends to be anything more than a cesspool of moral depravity. It's even refreshing in a twisted way that the girl who seduces Josh -- inspiring the cross-country recovery mission in the first place. But Road Trip's singularity of purpose doesn't translate into much manic energy. Its low-brow set pieces are pitched at obvious incongruities: the pairing of rail-thin Kyle with his substantial ladyfriend, an old man sporting can obvious erection, the macho E.L. delighting in a prostate massage. There's not much of a sense of comic discovery to Road Trip's gags; they're the gags teenagers are expected to laugh at. I did like the ending, the way they showed the friends lives in the near future. That was one positive thing about this laugh-free comedy
This is a fun original movie that is the debut of director Todd Phillips. He shows us that all you need is a good script and actors that can give believable performance to get a good movie. Breckin Meyer stars as Josh Parker, a college student in upstate New York who fears that he may have accidentally sent a sex tape of him and Beth, played by Amy Smart, to a girlfriend of his who is in college in Texas. He makes it a mission to go to Texas and retrieve the tape before his girlfriend gets it.Three of his buddies: E.L., Rubin, and Kyle go with him on this trip as they feel they need to be with their buddy. They are all good in their own ways. As previously mentioned Amy Smart plays Beth, a college girl who takes in interest in Josh.Phillips takes us to many places with new turns in the story. He makes every stop interesting and something that we can relate to. This is the first of many times where director Todd Phillips shows us that he can tell a good story, have believable characters, and take an old idea that many would think of and make the story his own.
