In this raunchy comedy, Josh (Breckin Meyer), a student at a college in Ithaca, NY, videotapes his one-night stand with beautiful sorority girl Beth (Amy Smart). A few days later, Josh discovers that ... read more read more...one of his friends accidentally mailed the homemade porn tape to his girlfriend, Tiffany (Rachel Blanchard), who is spending some time with her family in Austin, TX. Josh and his friends Barry (Tom Green), Kyle (D.J. Qualls), E.L. (Seann William Scott), and Rubin (Paulo Costanzo) borrow a car and hit the road in a desperate bid to intercept the tape before Tiffany loads it into her VCR; Beth, however, wants Josh for herself and has her own plans to track down Tiffany. Road Trip is the first fiction feature from director Todd Phillips, noted for such edgy documentaries as Hated: G.G. Allin & the Murder Junkies, Screwed, and Frat House. The cast also includes Fred Ward and Andy Dick. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    "The greatest college tradition of all time."

    Four friends take off on an 1800 mile road trip to retrieve an illicit tape mistakenly mailed to a girl friend.

    REVIEW

    Although this has the exact... read more same plot "Overnight Delivery" had, and roughly the same plot every other road movie had, I'll let it slide because they've found a good use for it. Actors like Breckin Meyer, Paulo Costanzo and DJ Qualls (yet another comedy face trying to get into serious stuff) may not be all that great but they're perfect teen hijink comedy material. You could say Seann William Scott sleepwalks through another Stifler performance, but he cleverly tones it down a bit so you care this time. Once it gets on the road, the fun you'd expect from the plot really does begin. Comedy set pieces start piling up, each more unpredictable than the last, except for the obligatory car troubles and the pretty obvious conclusion. The major plot is the achilles heel of this movie, which isn't as bad as it sounds. Most of all, it's just really funny. It all just works, whether it's stupid and obvious or slightly less stupid and obvious, it makes me laugh. Also contains a topless Amy Smart, which I didn't boo either.

    If your into raunchy humour you'll love Todd (the hangover) Phillips' teen road comedy. A miscast Breckin Meyer leads the group with funny Seann William Scott and Tom Green supporting. It wasn't hilarious but it's dumb funny forgettable fluff. However, there was also a stupid sub... read moreplot involving Tom Green feeding a snake which I thought was a boring stretched joke. It's all over the place but...it's okay.

    Movie in the same vein as American Pie. A college student videotapes a one night stand. The tape has accidentally been mailed to his girlfriend. Him and his friends hit the road to intercept the mail before his girlfirend sees it.

    Not the best comedy, but one of those you watch and think "this is some shit i'd do with my friends"

    Road Trip is a film that when first released was very funny. However as the years gio by, the film becomes unfunny with every viewing. Having watched it recently, this film has not aged well, and the jokes have become stale. This film has many flaws, one being the bad joke, anot... read moreher the bad acting, and third it looks dated. One thing that I hated about the film was Tom Green, who is very unfunny,, and whos brand of comedy is so low brow that he has become irrelevant and forgetable.Road Trip by today's standards has a few chuckles here and there, but the humour for the most part is unfunny and doesn't generate laugh out loud moments like it did when it first came out. This is the type of comedy that becomes unfunny as the years go by. Rewatching this recently, I realized that the films comedy was lazy and uninspired. Road Trip was a fun film when it first came out, but now ten years after its release, the film has lost it's finess and is no longer relevant. There has been far better comedies that have come out since. Comedies with a better story, better jokes and is still funny long after its release. But Road Trip, due to the talent involved managed to be a comedy that has become unfunny very fast. Todd Philips has made a better comedy, The Hangover which is one of the funniest comedies of the decade. But this film is pretty pointless and manages only a few chuckles and a few smiles instead of bringing on big laughs. The film has become forgetable.

    I feel that I may be overrating this film a bit, but honestly, I haven't laughed this hard in a very long time. The hilarious chemistry between friends, the trip of a lifetime, the unafraid R-Rating, and the crude and sexual scenes are even funny. I love this film, because seeing... read more as it would be every guys dream to have any girl in college, it is just not right to cheat, which is exactly what he travels across the country for. He has accidentally shipped his sex tape to his girlfriend and he must beat her to the package before she sees it. This may seem like a very predictable and plain story, but the comedy throughout and the situations they get themselves into is the pure joy of this film. I was laughing 24/7 and 90 minutes wasn't enough for me. This is one of the best attempts at comedy in the past decade. Road Trip is awesome!

    Instead of being an average college life movie, this really works and has a lot to offer. The bizarre situations and characters are too easy to love and there's really nothing to complain about. While it might not be overly ambitious, I wouldn't want it to be. It stands as one of... read more the best college movies in that it's unique within the genre.

Road Trip is nothing more than a series of sight gags and put-downs. It's often funny, but it never has anything smart to say. Full Review

James Berardinelli
January 1, 2000
James Berardinelli, ReelViews

The movie is sloppily made, but there's almost a sly charm to the sloppiness, and the unevenness of the filmmaking doesn't detract from the picture's most obvious laughs. Full Review

Kevin Thomas
January 1, 2000
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

On the whole it works because its over-the-top humor is supported by the filmmakers' ability to view life with a clear-eyed lack of sentimentality.

Jay Boyar
January 1, 2000
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel

It's no masterpiece, you understand, but it doesn't count on the raging hormones of its audience to do all of its work.

Sean Means

Sean Means, Film.com

As objectionable as its subject matter is, the most objectionable thing is that it's not funny.

Mick LaSalle
January 1, 2000
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

Road Trip may not be an ambitious film, but it doesn't lack for imagination, and the nasty edge of its comedy makes it refreshing. Full Review

Tom Maurstad

Tom Maurstad, Dallas Morning News

Road Trip is broadly amusing with a few bright spots. But those can't cover up the major gaps in storytelling, characterization and laughs. Full Review

Lou Lumenick, New York Post

Road Trip takes a well-traveled highway, but the drivers know exactly what they're doing.

Cody Clark

Cody Clark, Mr. Showbiz

Scott and Green seem to be having the most fun, but the entire cast is energetic and the movie feeds on that enthusiasm.

Mark Caro

Mark Caro, Chicago Tribune

As the guys continue on their way to Texas, this Road Trip degenerates into a slow-moving game of connect-the-gross-outs.
