This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I loved this film as a teen, it was stupid, crass, unrealistic, wacky, gross and crude...and when you're a teen those traits are what make films hilarious. It matters not if the film is critically acclaimed, back then what matters is the sheer wackiness mixed with bad words and OTT crudeness... I didn't expect to still like this film when I re-watched it recently, and I was wrong. I'm delighted to say that Road Trip is STILL funny.Although, as important as Tom Green is to the film he still gives me the shivers a little even today, he played the part of a full-on looper quite well.Films of this genre that come out nowadays just don't have the same feel as Road Trip. Road Trip came out at the end of the 90s kid era, and represented a lot of the great things about being a 90s teen. Admittedly, I was too young to watch it at the time but I can empathise with the era being born in 1992. With the exception of Superbad, not many great equivalents of Road Trip came out when I was a teen myself, kids of my era had to always look back a few years to the likes of Road Trip and American Pie for our laughs... not that we minded.I plan to watch Road Trip again 10 years from now, I'm confident it'll still make me laugh even then. Peace.

A college student finds himself in deep trouble after accidentally sending a sex-tape (one involving him and another girl he met at the college) to his long-distant girlfriend. This then sets him on a journey with his three friends to go on the titular "road trip" and retrieve said tape.This film has your typical sex-comedy stereotypes:Breckin Meyer as the laid-back every-man, Seann William Scott as the rude know-it-all, Amy Smart as the no-nonsense feminist, Paulo Costanzo as the wisest out of everyone, DJ Qualls as the worm, Anthony Rapp as the creepy nerd, and Tom Green as the "obviously autistic" pervert.Aside that, this movie is actually quite funny for the most part; there's one scene involving SWS's character getting flipped off by a blind female receptionist, but there's a lot more where that came from. It's stupid throughout, but it has quite a charm to it.

Road Trip (2000): Dir: Todd Phillips / Cast: Breckin Meyer, Amy Smart, Tom Green, Seann William Scott, D.J. Qualls: Pointless geek show that attempts to outdo one vulgar scene with another. Narrator Tom Green tells the story of Josh and Tiffany whose childhood friendship blossomed to romance until she moved away. They kept in touch through separate universities. Beth is interested in Josh and has sex with him in front of a video camera, which accidentally gets mailed to Tiffany. Vulgar humour includes a scene where French toast is devoured after it was down the waiter's pants. Directed by Todd Phillips who executes the humour with surprise but never touches the complexity of National Lampoon's Animal House. Breckin Meyer is totally unsympathetic and probably doesn't get what he deserves. Amy Smart as Beth is more trouble than she's worth as she follows in road trip fashion causing chaos every step of the way. Green is not only the pioneer of the grossest humour but also involved in pointless footage when the screenplay shifts from the road. Seann William Scott also landed a part in this fresh after his Stifler act in the much better American Pie. D.J. Qualls plays the nerd kid who could easily be the poster boy for such a stereotype. There is very little if anything funny in this junk. The purpose is to exploit vulgarity so the film should be backed over with a car. Score: 2 / 10

Road Trip manages to frame every detail a standard comedy about sex and love should consist of. However, there is nothing outstanding in these frames of randomly put together sex, racial, drug- and friendship jokes.Sean William Scott reprises the exact same role as in American Pie, humping his way through the whole thing. The rest of the characters are too boring and subtle and they all fit a pattern of who should preferably be in college guy gang.All that is left then is the story, which can pretty easily be summed up with the old line "never have a girlfriend in college". If you want to gather your buddies and have a laugh don't choose this movie because neither beer nor pot will help you get more than a smile from this.
