Road Trip (DVD) ... DVD released 28 May, 2001 at Dreamworks Home Entertainment / Features of the DVD: Colour, DVD-Video, PAL, Widescreen / Road Trip is a mostly agreeable, by-the-numbers teen flick with a handful of inspired sequences, most of them involving MTV's resident disturbed soul, Tom Green. It concerns a sleepy University of Ithaca student named Josh (Breckin Meyer) who accidentally mails a video of his sexual encounter with an infatuation (Amy Smart) to his long time girlfriend (Rachel Blanchard), who's seemingly avoiding him while at school in Austin, Texas. Naturally, he recruits some pals--Seann William Scott as the lech, DJ Qualls as the hopeless nerd and Paulo Costanzo as the doper genius--to hit the open highway and intercept the package. Even more naturally, mayhem ensues: a car explodes, a bus is stolen, a nerd is deflowered, French toast is horribly violated and an elderly man bogarts both pot and Viagra. The film's humour is more democratic than politically correct, as everyone--women and minority characters, not just the hipster white guys--have a hand in the high jinks. Green plays Barry Manilow (no, not that one), a professional student (eight years and counting)--he relates the film's story to sceptical prospective students while leading them on a tour of the college. In particular, in an already justly famous sequence of scenes, he sadistically anticipates and endeavours to accelerate a mouse's demise at the jaws of a python. It's very much in the vein of American Pie, perhaps a smidgen tamer, but at least its characters don't really learn any dopey lessons in the end. Director and co-screenwriter Todd Phillips, who earlier made the much-questioned documentary Frat House, again proves he's more adept at staging fictional comic sequences than real ones. --David Kronke, Amazon.com

Premium Review Road Trip (DVD): You sent it to your girlfriend?! (1297 words)

Hmm.. well I'm not too convinced about the whole area code thing. How it is claimed that as long as you are not in the same area code as your girlfriend/boyfriend(?) you are not cheating by sleeping with other people. Anyway, this is one of all the stupid philosophical lessons you are taught in this disgustingly hilarious film. The Story The storyline goes a bit like this: Boy called Josh (Breckin Meyer) knows girl, Tiffany (Rachel Blanchard) since early childhood. They get on really well. They become boyfriend & girlfriend. Their lives eventually take different turns when they leave home to attend University - in separate places. ...  Read the complete review

For Josh life couldn't be better, he has just started College and has a long distance relationship with his childhood sweetheart Tiffany. That is until Josh can't get in contact with her and ends up sleeping with Beth and making a video of it. The next day he asks his roommate Rubin to post a video letter he'd made for Tiffany but he sends the wrong tape. Now Josh has just 4 days to get from New York to Austin, Texas in order to recover the tape before Tiffany see's it. This sets the scene for an amusing race against time across the States for Josh and three of his College mates. Having been released the year after the first American Pie movie, there was quite ...  Read the complete review

Crowned Review Road Trip (DVD): You've been framed, extremely! (588 words)

'Road Trip' is definetly one of the best movies of the year. Well, atleast one of the best that I've seen this year. I'm informed that if you liked 'American Pie', then you'd be well advised to see this film also! The film basically charts a funny collegiate dilemma involving a bunch of guys, 2 girls and a video tape! Sounds good even in vague terms don't it? It's been about a week since I've seen this film so I can't remember the characters names well, so forgive me if I keep referring to people as 'that guy' or 'that girl'. Anyway, the story begins and evolves around a uni student showing around a ...  Read the complete review

Road Trip came out in 2000 and I must say, this is still one of my all time favourites to date! You can say it's your typical American teenage college story but so many scenes in this are so hysterically funny, I just love this film! So the story starts off with this older guy called Barry (played by Tom Green) giving potential new students a tour of his campus and it's quite obvious to everyone that he doesn't really know what he's talking about. So in an effort to save himself further embarrassment, he decides to tell them all a story of a guy that studied at his college called Josh, who was in love with this girl called Tiffany, but due to the girl wanting ...  Read the complete review
