Movie Reviews of Road Trip (Unrated Edition)
Movie Review: Flat and Predictable, but Tolerable
Summary: 2 Stars
The plot of this story is revolves around a college student, Josh Parker(Meyer) who recruits a group of dorm buddies to help him get from New York to Texas in order to intercept a mistakenly mailed video tape of himself having sex with another girl, before it falls into the hands of his girlfriend. On paper, it looks like a winner and I expected to see something like a cross between Vacation and Van Wilder. However, while you might expect this kind of movie to be loaded with side-splitting high jinks, I found the humor highly predictable and the characters flat at best.
There are 3 main characters besides Parker and they are all pretty cliche. First there is E.L. (Scott), as the obnoxious instigator. There is Rubin Carver (Costanzo), as the eccentric pot-smoking A-student. Of course, there is also the pathetic 98-pound straw man virgin Kyle Edwards (Qualls), who is the butt of everyone's jokes. As the plot progresses: the pathetic virgin is deflowered; Carver smokes pot with an old man, and E.L. steals a short-bus and discovers the joys of prostate stimulation. Like I said, it sounds good on paper, but every gag is telegraphed from a mile away.
On the upside, while the humor is flat, the plot is kind of engaging. The main reason that you will keep watching this movie is to find out whather or not Josh gets to Texas in time to intercept the videotape. You will appreciate the consistency and linearity of the storyline, which is not diluted by the inclusion of too many subplots. It really is a good road movie, if not a good comedy.
On the downside (except for Scott and Smart) the actors in this flick have about as much screen presence as a rock. While the characters might have been written as one-dimensional stereotypes, at least they could have played thier roles with some enthusiasm.
Still, Road Trip is a fairly engaging movie but only because of the main plot. As a comedy, however, it is pretty flat.

Summary: 4 Stars
This no-holds-barred comedy is one hilarious movie! ROAD TRIP is basically a rude, crude, nasty movie from start to finish! People may be offended with the rude acts in this movie, but forget them! It's supposed to be fun.When a college student named Josh accidently sends an lurid and incriminating tape having sex with a girl to his girlfriend in Texas, he and his pals decide to travel 1800 miles in three days in order to prevent the tape from getting there! The results are laugh out loud funny. They go through several detours including a blown-up car and mishaps with stereotypical people. Tom Green is the funniest member of the talented cast by "narrating" his story to us.
Seann William Scott(AMERICAN PIE fame) also stars in this 2000 unrated edition DVD, which shows more nudity and crude acts not seen from the theatrical version! So watch it if you like funny movies!
Movie Review: Subpar, to say the least
Summary: 2 Stars
Going into this, I thought I would like this movie. I figured it would tread the same line as the American Pie movies. I found it, however, very disappointing. I've never been a fan of Tom Green. His patent "Confused stare" is stomach churning. An accidental genious, if you will, and I am glad America has woken up from their hypnotized state that he had over them. All the other characters are unlikeable. The pot head kid is an arrogant, self-serving, character that is too smart for his own good. DJ Qualls is too whiny in the beginning and then is too full of himself at the end. Sean William Scott tries but fails to save this movie by delivering a second-rate Stifler. The ending feels too much like a cop out. Breckin Meyer gets saved because of Tom Green's stupidity. If only Tom Green would have taped over Paris Hilton's tape. A better ending would have been if his girlfriend beat him to a bloody mess.Movie Review: Road Trip rules all!!
