| Kiddie Movie: |
I was surprised to see so many teenie boppers in
the theater given that there is some nice T & A
in the movie. I wouldn’t want my pre-teen to
see this movie (if I had one). |
| Date Movie: |
The movie surrounds the subject of cheating on a
relationship while away at college. So… You
make the call, Romeo. Actually, the movie is pretty
light hearted and the guys in the movie are total
asses so she might like it.

Yes! Nothing graphic and a few titty scenes.
|
| Gratuitous

Nah.

We’ve got Dukes of Hazzard style car jumps,
cars exploding, little college wrestling geeks
punching it out, and Tom Greene making out with
mothers.

I laughed throughout the entire movie.

Envision, if you will, what "Prostrate Milking"

Seeing the previews for "Road Trip" I thought this was
gonna be one suck-ass movie. Why? Well… From the
previews it looked like a cliché riddled, coming of
age movie hindered by the obnoxious star appeal of
MTV’s Tom Greene. I was kind of right. "Road Trip" is
full of clichés, but they work. Tom Greene is
obnoxious, but the writers, directors, and editors limit his
screen time and antics so as not to bore. "Road Trip" is by
no means a "suck ass" movie. I dare say it’s the
funniest movie I’ve seen this year. Granted it’s
not an intelligent comedy, but rather simple, silly humor.
If you’ve seen the previews, you pretty much know
the story. Josh (Breckin Meyer) and his girlfriend Tiffany
(Rachel Blanchard) go away to different colleges. Josh is
really pussy-whipped and is always calling or sending his
girlfriend videotapes of himself telling her how much he
misses her. One night Josh gives into temptation and allows
himself to be seduced by one cute, perky, little blonde. Why
he allows her to tape this I do not know. Allow me to
digress… Guys… If you’re gonna tape intimate
moments… ERASE THEM RIGHT AWAY!!! Don’t think
you’re smart enough to hide them. You’re not.
Also, never accidentally leave them out so that your
roommate will see an addressed envelope and stick it in the
mail for you. That’s what happens in this movie. Thus
the need for the road trip. Josh has a little better than 96
hours to haul ass from New York to Texas to intercept the
video tape.
Accompanied by his three friends Rubin (Pauol Costanzo),
Kyle (DJ Qualls), and E.L. (Seann William Scott), Josh sets
off to get the tape. Along the way our boys find unique
places to crash, like an all black national fraternity, and
some dope smoking, Viagra taking grandparents. When their
cash runs out they sell sperm, and when the blow up their
wheels they steal a bus from a blind children’s school.
Yadda, yadda, yadda… Do the boys complete their
mission? Yes, but it doesn’t matter because the bitch
dumps poor Josh anyway. Oh, I’m sorry, did I give that
away? Ooops.
"Road Trip" may not have enough substance to become a
cult classic like "Animal House", "Fast Time at Ridgemont
High" or "Porky’s", but it’s right up there in my
book with other coming of age movies like "American Pie" and
"The Last American Virgin". I liked Road Trip and I give it
3 ½… Hmmm… No 4… Yes, 4 of 5 stars and
I’m Stu Gotz. 'Nuff said. |
