Amazon.co.uk Review

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny as Hell!!!, 10 Oct 2001
Road Trip - Unseen & Explicit is the uncut version of the box office smash that promises to show us what we didn't see at the cinema.
This film is straight from the American Pie school of comedy. It is set in the University of Ithaca, New York where Josh (Meyer) succumbs to temptation and cheats on his long-term girlfriend Tiffany, who is at university in Texas. The girl who eventually tempted him is the adventurous Beth (Smart) who, using Josh's camcorder, films their night of passion. His luck changes however when his friend accidentally mails the videotape to Tiffany. This leads to a race against time, as Josh has just three days to drive 1,800 miles and retrieve the tape before Tiffany sees it. So he drags his friends Rubin (Costanzo), E.L (William Scott) and car owner Kyle (Qualls) along for the ride.
The antics that they get up to on the trip are hilarious, from exploding cars to talking dogs and there is a scene that will stop you from ever sending food back when you're in a restaurant. You also don't want to know how they get their mini bus. The film doesn't just focus on the trip though. Barry (Green) has been left in charge of Rubin's pet snake back in Ithaca and the results are hysterical.
I could only find one scene that was not shown in the cinema, probably about three minutes of extra footage. However it was all based in the women's locker room with a lot of nudity so I'm not complaining! The special features on the DVD are deleted scenes, a music video, the making of the film and 2 trailers.
This is an amazing film with plenty of laughs. I was entertained for the entire 94 minutes and I cannot remember one time when I felt bored. Even though it followed in the shadow of American Pie's success, I think it's a lot better. Its one of those films that you can watch over and over again and it will still be funny.

Conclusion: If you own a DVD player then go and buy this. If you don't, then get it on video. This is a must see movie.

3.0 out of 5 stars Amusingly stupid, 4 May 2001
By A Customer
Road Trip is a great film in many ways. It has elements of American Pie mixed in with is, and a good cast lineup.

It takes us on a trip across America in which the characters must hurry to stop the main character's girlfriend (Meyer) from receiving a sex tape he made with another girl.

The idea is superb, and the humour is fresh, witty, and grotesque at the same time. Given that this is similar in genre to American Pie, the producers should be given credit for making it that much different.

However, at times, the events become so absurd that they are bordering on being so stupid that they aren't funny anymore. The film also dfoesn't really seem to have a proper conclusion, having a more linear plot which never really builds up tension or suspense, but rather just runs its course from start to finish.

This film is supremely funny, and despite its flaws, I would buy it - if you enjoyed American Pie you will enjoy this. But don't expect it to bowl you over - this film was meant to be a flat comedy and that's all it ever tries to be.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of its genre for a long, long time, 10 Feb 2004
I walked out of "What lies beneath" after 15 minutes, went back into the cinema bought a ticket for "Road Trip" Laughed solidly for the duration and then went back in to the first screen sat down beside my fiance and endured the last bit of "What lies beneath". It caused a bit of friction that night but she married me anyway and I've no regrets.

The other reviews that suggest this is cashing in on the success of American Pie are missing the point. There has been a renaisance on the genre of dumb gross-out teen flick. The American Pie franchise has met with greater commercial acclaim and "chicks" are more likely to favour them but Road Trip stands head and shoulders above even the first "American Pie" flick.

It's right up there with Porkys and Revenge of the Nerds
