5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious and Tragic - A True Gem Of A Film!, 14 Jun 2004
By Martin A Hogan "Marty From SF" (San Francisco, CA. (Hercules)) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
ere is nothing like accidentally discovering a film and falling in love with it. "The Trip" is a typical coming of age story of two young men (one gay - one on the edge) that follows their journey over two decades. Starting in the early 1970's, every scene is true to the period and the dialogue is clever and witty without ever being pretentious or contrived. The acting is excellent and the main characters are all likable - even when they screw up. Director Miles Swain keeps the story tight with constant flashes of news clips as footnotes to the development of the two buddies relationship. The latter half in the 1980's is also dead-on in its' portrayal of gay life and we see the two main characters grow with each passing world event. At times hilariously funny and others, painfully heartbreaking, "The Trip" is a true balance of hilarity and tragedy that will move anyone.

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Enjoyable, 1 Nov 2006
I found this film to be thoroughly enjoyable and a complete surprise - it's certainly no epic, although the film does span a decade and incorporates real events from the always tumultuous sea of gay history, which does give the film a bigger feel than it would otherwise.
I wasn't sure what to expect, but thanks to R Krygsman's review I took a chance and I'm really glad I did. Tommy and Alan make an adorable couple and put in performances that range from good to okay but never far from sweet and endearing. Larry Sullivan, who plays the confused "straight" guy, is nothing short of gorgeous and the "striptease" scene he does has to be one the funniest moments in film I've seen for a while. It's a great scene; being both comical and sexy whilst never losing the inevitable sadness that underlines the moment.
A quick synopsis:
"Straight" man Alan meets gay activist Tommy and the two become fast friends. The inevitable happens and the two fall in love (which the two pull off convincingly and with no cringe-worthy moments at all). However, on Alan's road to accepting his sexuality they have a falling-out which results in Alan burying himself in his novel, expressing his confusion-fuelled anger in anti-gay ideals. It is only after he has submitted the manuscript that he realises just how much he feels for Tommy . The inevitable happens once again and the two split - when they are re-united they finally take The Trip they've always been meaning to take - Thelma and Louise it isn't, and to be honest, I really think this part of the film should have been given a lot more attention, but it's still enjoyable. The reunion scene could have done with a tad more attention and intimacy, but hey, a film like this is never going to get a major budget and what they've accomplished with the Trip is, I think, the best they could have produced with the time and money they had.
Larry Sullivan and Steve Braun are entertaining throughout and pull off their relationship with no clichés or awkward moments, and what's a film about gay relationships without a bit of "Camp" - enter Alexis Arquette in a memorable cameo role. All in all this is a film that will make you laugh and probably cry with its blend of lightweight humour offset poignantly by its darker, tragic side.
Definitely worth a look

4.0 out of 5 stars Funny and Touching!, 17 Aug 2006
By R. Krygsman "DVD Collector" (Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Didn't know what to expect, and found myself thoroughly enjoying the movie. It's funny, sweet, sad, and very real. The main characters are great, sexy, and they portray a real love. Some comedic side characters help, and the ending was a surprise as I thought it was only going to be a fluffy comedy piece. I recommend this movie highly.
