Highly Overrated But Still Good

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Road Trip is a feel-good college comedy that is both hilarious and heartfelt. The humour keeps the movie interesting and the heart keeps it from being stupid. Well, there are some stupid moments, but none of which diminish the overall result. The stupidity mainly comes from Tom Green, but who doesn't like pre-Freddy Got Fingered Tom Green?The movie starts out with Tom Green as an eighth year college student at Ithaca University giving a tour to potential students, trying to sell them the idea of attending the school. He is not doing a good job, until he tells a story of what happened the year before. This is the main part of the film:Josh Parker (Breckin Meyer) and Tiffany Henderson have been best friends forever and have been boyfriend and girlfriend since they started liking the opposite sex. Josh goes to school at Ithaca and Tiffany goes to school in Austin, Texas. They try to make their long-distance relationship work, with Josh even going so far as to mail her weekly video tapes (like Skype). But Josh is tempted to get with fellow-student, Beth (Amy Smart), especially since he is somewhat of a rival for her with TA Jacob (Anthony Rapp). After a party, Josh gives in and sleeps with Beth, recording it on tape. His roommate, Rubin (Paulo Costanzo) accidentally mails the sex tape to Tiffany. This beginning of the film is hilarious, even the scene when they find out the wrong tape was mailed. So Josh, Rubin, Josh's best friend E.L. (Seann William Scott) persuade their geeky neighbour, Kyle (DJ Qualls) to take his car and retrieve the tape. The adventure portion is classic road material. They crash a party at a black fraternity, donate sperm, crash Kyle's car, among other things. Meanwhile, Tom Green awaits Rubin's snake eating a mouse and tells Beth that Tiffany is in Boston. Aside from the situations being hilarious, the characters need to be awesome too. Josh is Meyer's usual geek that he always makes work. E.L. is exactly like Stifler from American Pie. I don't mind, Stifler's awesome, E.L. could be his cousin! Rubin is a cool dude and really smart. He is awesome with physics and helps Josh pass his Ancient philosophy exam. Kyle is an ugly wimp who learns to stand up for himself. Tom Green's character's name is Barry Manilow. His obsession with seeing the snake eat the mouse is priceless. The film ends well and funnily too. You can't really say that this movie achieves the status of excellence or anything. This is about enjoying college life. It is just a simple film to make people laugh, without insulting their intelligence.

i watched Hindi dubbed version of this movie and this is based on adult comedy so the main problem is when you are watching a adult type movie in Hindi version they don't exactly translate whole words sometimes they just changed whole topic but in this movie as a Hindi version they used #Sambhog word as a translation of sex word that is OK at least they used that word i watched many movies and they all just skipped that word or used another word like romance etc. to represent it but in here you will listen it and that make movie interesting well movie is good story is not too good but movie is all about adult comedy so this is fine and specially here is #Seann William Scott who was great in American Reunion Movie so here he makes some laugh and good movie. IMDb Rating 6.5 this is released in 2000 so according to that time it's very good.

I watched this movie far too much as a teenager, before i had a DVD player i only had a handful of VHS tapes. This was one of them.The story is simple, the main character Josh sleeps with a girl at a party and records it, he then accidentally posts the video to his girlfriend who lives in another state. Then the road trip begins. Josh and his 3 friends set off in a race against time to get to his girlfriend before the tape does!This film is a real American teen type of film that follows the pattern of many in that genre. It has plenty of laugh out loud moments and a very likable group of characters, (bar Tom Green)Definitely worth a watch if you have a couple of hours to kill and fancy an easy watching film with many laughs.

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
