If you've seen the previews of Road Trip, you've seen the best bits of the film. It made me laugh out loud on a couple of occasions, but the humour is largely confined to a very infantile level, that doesn't make it bad though. Several gratuitous breast shots (and very nice they were too) earn the film its 15 rating, that and some questionable antics with a white mouse, the missus had to look away - DO NOT try this at home kids. The story is secondary to the antics of what looked to me like a very mature bunch of students crossing America with a complete lack of style and disregard for anyone else. Their aim, as if it matters, to recover a video sent in error to one of the group's girlfriend, predictably showing him having sex with a fellow student. Watch out for their trip to the sperm clinic in an attempt to boost flagging funds - I bet sales of surgical gloves have gone up with the release of this film. A typical happy(ish) ending, with no surprises and ultimately a weak script. In my view too many opportunities were lost which could easily have lifted Road Trip above Average to a comfortable Good or Great.
