Advantages: Good acting, some cracking jokes. Disadvantages: The lack of Tom Green, he should have gone with them.
Road Trip (15)
Directed By:- Todd Phillips
Produced By:- Ivan Reitman
Starring:- Breckin Meyer, Seann William Scott, Amy Smart, Rachel Blanchard and Tom Green
The first thing that I was told about this film is that it is very similar to American Pie. Basically I got the impression that if you like American Pie then you will like this. I cannot see the similarities myself unless you count Seann William Scott who has appeared in both movies. Yes, ... ...but that is where you can draw the line. Two totally different storylines, two different sets of characters and more importantly, in my view, two different levels of comedy.
I won't say that I didn't like American Pie, and I wouldn't say that either film is better than the other. I would however, say that both films have that method of cringiness that we have come to get used to in the comedy film world these days. Certain people I know have said ...

Advantages: FUNNY Disadvantages: NOT AS GOOD AS AMERICAN PIE
ROAD TRIP
This film has been on my 'too see' list for way too long, so last week when a mate invited me round on her birthday, I suggested that we should pop down to the video shop and get this out, so we did....
I'd been waiting a long time to see this so I was hoping it was going to be worth it, after the original American Pie came out, we expected many more cheesy efforts after such a successful and hilariously funny film, they came, American ... ...I had my doubts on Road Trip, sucessful or not?
THE FILM
The film begins with a tour guide, a young man who hasn't a clue giving a guide of a college, he gives the impression that he is or was a student there and later on you find out that he was. Although this man, who we find out is called Barry, hasn't a clue about all the histroy and information on the college, he does no the backround of recent passed events having been a student there, going ...

Advantages: Funny, not as sex focussed as American Pie Disadvantages: Cringy, just another teen movie when you get into it
...his friends went on a road trip.
It all started with this guy Josh, and his best friend Tiffany, who have known each other practically since they could walk. As they grew up they realized being friends wasn’t enough for them so they started going out. Everything looked like a happy life for them, until it came to college. Tiffany went to veterinary school in Austin, Texas, while Josh ended up stuck in a New York college. As you can probably ... ...only one thing for it- Road Trip! So Josh, E.L (who only goes to try and see if he will get to watch the tape) and Rubin set off on their cross-country trek, dragging another young and perculiar student, Kyle Edwards with them (only because he has a car). Now the story teller, who we find out is called Barry stays behind soley for the purpose of getting Rubin's snake all to himself so he can torcher mice (yeah he is mad, and throughout the film you ...

Advantages: Plenty of laughs, some very good performances. Disadvantages: None really
Whilst settling down to watch Road Trip last night, I was expecting a rip-off and not as funny version of American Pie, OK it is similar in a way, you know the typical sex starved teenagers in the American College movie, but I found it had its own originality to it and some hilarious laughs as well. The film starts off with Tom Green playing Barry a very strange and unstable student showing a group of people around the College grounds, on a guided ... ...it, so he decides to tell the tour party a story that happened whilst he was attending the College.
The film is then shown as a kind of video diary of what went on, but Green likes to add bits in, especially when it comes to nude girls, so the story goes:
Josh (played by Breckin Meyer) and Tiffany (played by Rachel Blanchard) are childhood sweethearts, they have known each other for their entire life and end up getting pretty serious, there is ...

Advantages: Great film, better plot than normal with a film from this gender Disadvantages: Needed more Tom Greening!
Never being a huge fan of American Pie, I was unsure whether I'd like this film or not. But I went to the cinema and saw it when it was released and was completely surprised as it was so good. I then bought it as soon as it was released in the US on DVD.
You could make comparisons to American Pie, but I believe this is much funnier with a much better plot to it. Don't get me wrong if you liked AP you'll love this film too, but this seems to have ... ...far superior.
STORYLINE:
The film starts of with the character named Barry (Tom Green) who is giving a tour to some possible new students and their parents around the grounds of the University of Ithaca. In an attempt to make the Uni. sound more fun and interesting to the bored students and parents he begins to tell them of "the greatest love story ever told"?
Josh (Breckin Meyer) and Tiffany (Rachael Blanchard) were the best of friends from when ...

Advantages: Hilarious moments and cast Disadvantages: Not for everyone
...Todd Phillips directs RoadTrip, released on the millennium, 2000. RoadTrip 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 plays E.L, similar to his role in AP he is the party animal once again. Josh has been in a relationship with his girlfriend, Beth, since he was so young and with them both going to separate colleges that has developed into the long distance relationship. However with pressure from E.L. to get himself back on the market and after not hearing from Beth for a few weeks, a drunken party sees Josh...

Advantages: Very, very funny Disadvantages: Vulgar, lacks all morals
....
EL manages to convince Josh that it's time he made the most of his youth-hood. A long-distance relationship is bound to be difficult & how would it feel to wake up old one day & know you had only had sex with one person? Well… since these days it is more commonly acceptable to sleep around (tut tut), it seems our nice old Josh is more than happy to follow his friends like the naïve sheep that he is. (Sorry guys). Unfortunately for him, he also has the brains of a sheep. He meets this sexy lady called Beth (Amy Smart) & she persuades him to let her video-tape them… having sex. Then, in a bit of a mix-up, it appears that rather than a taped message he meant to send to his girlfriend, he sends her this sex tape. This is no problem for EL, who already has a plan - RoadTrip! They borrow a car from a friend, Kyle (DJ Qualls) with a rich (but...

DVD Description
University of Ithaca college freshman Josh (Breckin Meyer) misses his childhood sweetheart, Tiffany (Rachel Blanchard), who is going to school in Austin, Texas. Josh makes a tape proclaiming his love for her, but one of his friends accidentally mails the wrong tape; he instead sends the tape of Josh having sex with the beautiful Beth (Amy Smart). Josh had slept with Beth only after assuming that Tiffany had found someone else. So Josh, E.L. (Seann William Scott), Rubin (Paulo Costanzo), and Kyle (DJ Qualls), the geek with a car, set off in a powder blue Ford Taurus to intercept the tape before Tiffany can see it. They leave behind the insane Barry (Tom Green), who is on the multiyear graduating plan and would rather stay in the dorm and feed a live mouse to Mitch the snake. The group's 1,800-mile trip will feature encounters with exploding cars, crazy motel clerks, too-hip grandparents, stealing from the blind, the wrong fraternity, and that old stand-by, chef's revenge. The story is told in flashback, as the always frightening Tom Green leads a group of prospective students and their parents through an absurdly hilarious tour of the Ithaca campus, selling Josh's story as a reason to attend the school. ROAD TRIP is good raunchy fun, starring a likable cast of characters, told by director Todd Phillips with a charm that places it above the standard teen exploitation flick.
