Undescribable Perfection

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

"Road Trip" has always been sort of a guilty pleasure for me, so I guess I watched this straight-to-DVD sequel hoping that it would recapture an ounce of the original's charm. Unfortunately though, it never even came close. To their credit, they did get DJ Qualls to reprise his role (sorta kinda, he acts completely different), but that's all the effort that went into this. The writing is just so lazy, I don't watch lowbrow comedies for their ingenious plots but some kind of story would have been nice. The whole movie is just our bland protagonists going to random places (a sex comedy with a strip club scene, very original), looking at naked chicks that seriously don't want to be there and then on to the next location for more of the same. Writer Brad Riddell (of "American Pie Presents: Band Camp"...fame?) couldn't set up an actual gag if his life depended on it, so he does the next best thing: writing some dirty words on a napkin and just seeing where the scene goes from there. Furthermore, beer pong is a selling point for a movie now? Is there anything more boring than watching people play beer pong without being in the game yourself? Thank God the subtitle barely comes into play, but that's about the only decision they got right. This "sequel" is totally pointless, has zero laughs and at times is just embarrassing to look at.

The first "Road Trip" was a clever movie with a talented cast. It was fun to watch and has nothing to do with this movie. Well except for a sad attempt to connect them with a play on Tom Green's part from the first movie.One of my big problems with this film is the almost total lack of beer pong. I thought that having it in the title there would be more then just a passing reference to the game. Instead the entire movie is a very boring car ride for one guy to go hook up with some french chick he met once. And he doesn't even do that.Here's my synopsis of the movie: Some guys walk through a room where people in the background are playing beer pong. They watch a scene from "Harold and Kumar Escape Guantanomo" and then steal a cab to drive to a beer pong match. One guy tries to hook up but for some reason doesn't. Then they get to the match and forget to play beer pong. The chick that the dude was trying to cheat on shows up and helps them win beer pong without actually playing it. And they beat a guy that you are supposed to hate, but since you don't know him you don't really care. Then the quick rap up and a line that is supposed to be funny but isn't... FREEZE FRAME.This has got to be the slowest and most boring "College Comedy" I have ever seen. You'd be better off watching the movies this one poorly rips off.

"Road Trip" (2000) was an instant hit because it was released shortly after "American Pie" and it had hilarious humor and a great cast: Breckin Meyer, Amy Smart (both were in "Rat Race")and Seann William Scott (American Pie 1-3). None of them are in this sequel except for D.J. Squalls (The New Kid), who now takes on the Tom Green role (The Tom Green Show, Freddy Got Fingered) in the original. Offcourse, even Tom Green couldn't be bothered with this kind of garbage. It just isn't funny, even for a moment: the story is poorly executed: why does a student with a hot girlfriend wants to track down a girl from his childhood who isn't even that attractive as her ?? The cast is unknown and unconvincing: D.J. Squalls isn't that great either, but he makes the rest of them look a bunch of amateuristic wannabee's. Too bad, this actually could have been OK (not great) but the cast really gets on your nerves, very unconvincing.. If you like the original one, watch it again please.. "Road Trip: Beer Pong" (sounds more promising than it's delivers) is like "American Pie 4,5"etc... a cheap way to cash in on what could have been a great franchise. You were warned..

Going in to the movie, i was expecting another horrible comedy similar to the stuff National Lampoon has released in recent history. The movie would probably appeal to the 13 to mid 20s crowd. It has its moments, good for some laughs. It holds your interest because the acting for the most part is well done. DJ Qualls definitely helps telling the story. There's a few nudity scenes, nothing outrageous though, mainly just a few breast shots here and there. The main characters are intriguing and play their roles well.So if you're looking for a decent B comedy to watch with the woman/man, it's good for a few chuckles without making you want to blow your brains out.
