Advantages: Hilarious moments and cast Disadvantages: Not for everyone
Todd Phillips directs Road Trip, released on the millennium, 2000. Road Trip is one of those films that almost comes hand-in-hand with similar teen comedys such as, American Pie, and it proves this point featuring teen-favourite, Seann William Scott. The story is centrally Josh (Breckin Meyer) trying to save his relationship after accidently sending her a tape of him cheating on her with another woman. And oh yeah, there's boobies. William Scott ... ...Thus there is the road trip, but the problem is the group have no car or money, therefore they have to recruit a new friend. This leads them to the geekest and palest boy on their dorm, Kyle. Barry however decides he does not want to be a part of the trip, which allows him to stay behind and feed Rubin's pet snake. Rubin is played by Tom Green, another star of the movie, and his fascination with waiting til feeding day to feed the snake is a little ...

Road Trip has been called the second American Pie. While I didn’t think it was anything like Amerian Pie, I can see why people have said it, and yes, it’s true, if you liked American Pie, you’ll love Road Trip.
So what’s it all about? Well, basically two lovers who have been together since they were about have got to the stage in their life when they have got to go off to University. However, one problem, they are both going ... ...a pact that they will be faithful to each other but this becomes a bit hard, especially with all the new talent in the different Uni.’s!

Advantages: Hilarious! Definitely one of my favourite movies. Disadvantages: Not one for people with strong ethical views on adultery.
...before I watch them. Road trip was no different. I assumed that it would be very similar to American Pie, amusing in a sex-obsessed kind of way. It turned out I was half right and half wrong; there certainly is a sort of similar pattern in the comedy style of the movies and many of the jokes would appeal to the same type of people. But I personally think that Road Trip is actually much funnier than American Pie, brilliant though the latter is. It's ... ...the film being sex-obsessed. The storyline sounds like it is; Josh (Breckin Meyer - The Craft, Clueless) asks his friends to send a video of himself to his lifetime girlfriend Tiffany, who goes to College in Austin. Unfortunately, his friends accidentally mail a tape of Josh and another girl in bed together (Josh was convinced by his best friend to have a fling) to her. What ensues is a desperate trip to prevent the tape from reaching Tiffany, a ...

...ever, I digress.
Essentially Road Trip centres around Josh, a college student, who following a raunchy liason with one of his contemporaries, mistakenly posts the captured footage of the event to his childhood sweetheart (who attends a college several states away). Enlisting the help of his friends, he embarks upon a journey to intercept his pornographic post before his girlfriend returns from her visit home.
As you could imagine, Road Trip contains ... ...again, road Trip is a good film and contains everything you would want the genre, but it has been done before and is part of it's downfall. In my opinion, resist the hype, rent 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' and have a few quid more in your pocket for the weekend. ...

Advantages: Very Funny, great cast Disadvantages: Predictable
Road Trip is a film following on from the recent success of American Pie. It is another teen comedy, but unlike it's grandfathers (Animal House, Porkys etc) Road Trip has evolved for the new millenium. Its about a guy who cheats on his girlfriend, videos it and then accidentally has it mailed to her.
He decides to embark on an 1800 mile Road Trip to get to the tape first, and save his relationship. Accompanied by 2 friends and the college loser ... ...tape back.
Plot.
Road Trip may not win Oscars for originality, but the plot has been well constructed. The characters add a great deal to this, as each one has a uniqueness in depth and personality normally missing from these type of films.
While the lads are still sex driven and generally insane (like Porkys) they now have a far greater feeling of worry. Their characters are actually concerned with the consequences of their actions as opposed ...

For all the lewd, juvenile and scatological humour, however, this is a surprisingly good-natured romp that will make you care about its four college buddy protagonists, however unspeakably and insensitively they behave.
Josh (Breckin Meyer) has a problem. Having spent a wild night of passion with the beautiful Beth (Amy Smart), he's mistakenly mailed a videotape of the dirty deed to his longtime girlfriend Tiffany (Rachel Blanchard).
There's only ... ...York, to Austin, Texas, and retrieve the tape before Tiffany gets a chance to watch it.
Pot-smoking slacker Rubin (Paulo Costanzo) and incorrigible womaniser EL (Seann William Scott) come along for the ride. So does weedy loser Kyle (DJ Qualls), but only because it's his car they're driving. Back in Ithaca, meanwhile, their wacky roommate Barry (slackjawed MTV stand-up Tom Green) gets a little too excited at the prospect of feeding a live mouse ...

Advantages: funny, occasionally hilarious Disadvantages: sometimes too puerile and sophomoric
...One thing the DVD of Road Trip is not lacking is special features. It has deleted scenes, some of which are downright hilarious while others are rather dumb, an Eels music video, cast bios, and a trivia game and screesaver for DVD-ROM. The menu setup is very well done, and looks very put together.
I would recommend the VHS and the DVD of "Road Trip" to anyone who is a comedy fan, and is not offended by rather large amounts of nudity, vulgarity, ...

I found this fun very funny, which is very surprising because I didn't expect it to be. My boyfriend and I went to see this film because it was the only film on, on a Sunday night.
It was a good film that did not depend on sex too heavily for humour. Basically it was a bunch of typical American lads attempting to race a parcel across America and stop it before the main character's girlfriend watched it.
Some parts were very predictable but the ...

Road Trip, when i first heard the name I though it was another boring Jeremy Clarkson video but after closer inspection I realised that it was actually a great video about sex, drugs and general college life.
The main characters are Josh Parker, EL, Barry and Beth. Very well known actors and actresses play all of the characters and they have stared in other movies such as American Pie and Evolution.

If you loved "American Pie" then this is a definite must see film, with the famous character Sean William Scott, seen in movies such as Evolution, American Pie and Final Destination.
I didn't know what the film was about so I kind of took a gamble by watching it at the cinema, but I'm so glad I did as it was well worth it.
The basic storyline is about this guy who is trying to keep a long distance relationship going with his girlfriend who has ... ...of miles away from each other-so what would happen if one of them cheated?
Well that's exactly what happens, with a cheesy "mix up" of video tapes, a tape gets sent to his girlfriend, by mistake, showing him cheating on her with another girl!
This is when the story gets interesting and the guy and his room-mates have to make a "roadtrip" to try and rescue the tape before it reaches his girlfriend-living many miles away.
A superb storyline and ...

...they set out on a road trip to get it back as they are students and can't afford a plane(but snakes and guitars and drink and drugs go figure).
It is a very amusing film the plot is very well put together and follows through nicely (although they didnt have people following through, maybe thats in the sequel). The actors performances are splendid and relay the humour very well to the audience. The choice of actors is also very well directed and ... ...I am sure the music added to the film but I did not pay attention to it as I was left wanting to see the next comedy scene straight away.
Although maybe not as funny as american pie and in the same genre of film it was very original in an unoriginal way. This film is well worth seeing and you come out with a smile and very good feel good factor.
by the way has anyone tried the fingers of love, does that work???? I can't seem to find the right spot ...

Road Trip is the hilarious story of a group of american college buddies, mixed up in the worst scenario for a teenage guy. Basically, a guy is supposed to be staying faithfull to his girl, but that doesnt work out. One thing leads to another and the outcome is TOM GREEN accidently sending a tape of the guy going at it with another women.
The cast is perfect for the storyline, and the inclusion of comedian Tom Green is the icing on this already very ... ...Deleted Scenes- Basically more of the same from the movie. But before UNSEEN !
Eels music video - The video for the soundtrack to the movie. The eels also have a song called "novaciane to the soul" . Check it out, its pretty cool.
Making Of- The usual on set images and clips of the cast messing about.
Trailers- What you would have seen in the build up to the film
