Rating:  - a typically entertaining reitman film
Like all of Ivan Reitman's films, "Road Trip" is a consistently funny- at times hilarious - story involving characters whom you come to care about in one way or another. Rather than creating cartoonish caricatures, Reitman creates somewhat real characters who find themselves in sometimes outlandish and far-fetched situations.
"Road Trip" is one of those movies with an entertainment value that holds up well for a second or third viewing.
Rating:  - Collegiate Catastrophe
From the outside looking in, Ithaca University seems to be traditional in every aspect; however, nothing is farther from the truth. "Road Trip", a crude spin-off of National Lampoon's "Animal House", collided with viewers in 1998. Ivan Reitman, producer of Animal House and now executive producer of "Road Trip", injects his entertainment style into this action packed, comedy loaded with extra flavor. Directed by Tod Phillips, creator of the award documentary "Frat House", and scripted by Scot Armstrong, "Road Trip" takes a glimpse at the precarious nature of college life.
Compliments of Canadian comedian Tom Green, the cast ignite as Barry (Tom Green), a professional college student, leads a campus tour on an expedition of erotic proportions. Barry encompasses the college experience by demonstrating experiences gained at Ithaca University. Shock and scrutiny ravened the affixed pupils of the audience for one hour and thirty-four minutes as four college aged coconspirators hit the highway in lei of heading off a catastrophe. Josh (Breckin Meyer), who played in "Clueless", "54" and "GO", is the films central character. Josh and his long time girlfriend, Tiffany (Rachel Blanchard), of TV series "Clueless", have been nurturing their infatuation since fifth grade.
Keeping their long distance romance kindled proves even harder when Beth (Amy Smart) of "Varsity Blue" fame, begins enticing Josh and his unsatisfied desires. Desire turns into disaster when an intimate moment ends up on VHS and is mistakenly mailed to Josh's distant girlfriend. In a desperate rage of hormones and humor, Josh along with the outgoing and catastrophic comedy of E.L. (Seann William Scott), of "American Pie" fame, rustles the dorm dweeb into letting them take his car. Balancing out the ensemble is Rubin (Paulo Costanzo), who adds intelligence along with an intrinsic quality to the cast. With finals approaching, relationships in Jeopardy, and love on the line, the four comrades take off in pursuit of adventure and eventually humility.
I'd give this crude comedy four stars for accelerated laughter. If you are looking for intelligence in higher education, register for "Road Trip". "Road trip" is just that, a trip!
Rating: - this movie is great but whats up with tom green
the previews made tom green look like the main characther but he was in the movie for like 5 minutes but its alright because this movie was funny with out him
Rating: - Great trip!
This movie is excellent, silly s it is, and it plays well on repeated viewing. If you thought American Pie was a good movie, you will love this amusing tromp through American with these four crazy college students. It will keep you laughing throughout the entire movie.
If only I had taken a road trip like this when I was younger.
Rating: - funny as hell
... this movie is the funniest movie i have ever seen. i thought tom green would be in it more but he did sing the tiny salmon song that made me laugh for a good 3 hours or so. so if i were you, i would buy this movie.
