University of Ithaca college freshman Josh (Breckin Meyer) misses his childhood sweetheart, Tiffany (Rachel Blanchard), who is going to school in Austin, Texas. Josh makes a tape proclaiming his love for her, but one of his friends accidentally mails the wrong tape; he instead sends the tape of Josh having sex with the beautiful Beth (Amy Smart). Josh had slept with Beth only after assuming that Tiffany had found someone else. So Josh, E.L. (Seann William Scott), Rubin (Paulo Costanzo), and Kyle (DJ Qualls), the geek with a car, set off in a powder blue Ford Taurus to intercept the tape before Tiffany can see it. They leave behind the insane Barry (Tom Green), who is on the multiyear graduating plan and would rather stay in the dorm and feed a live mouse to Mitch the snake. The group's 1,800-mile trip will feature encounters with exploding cars, crazy motel clerks, too-hip grandparents, stealing from the blind, the wrong fraternity, and that old stand-by, chef's revenge. The story is told in flashback, as the always frightening Tom Green leads a group of prospective students and their parents through an absurdly hilarious tour of the Ithaca campus, selling Josh's story as a reason to attend the school. ROAD TRIP is good raunchy fun, starring a likable cast of characters, told by director Todd Phillips with a charm that places it above the standard teen exploitation flick.

Tasteless and dislikeable youth comedy.
This is one of the better teen movies. Tom Green is mildy amusing yet dumb. The better parts of this film are Sean William Scott (American Pie) and DJ Qualls (The Core) both giving excellent performances as E.L and Kyle. The basic plot sees Josh and his roommates accidentally mailing a sex romp video between Josh and new girl Beth, to his current girlfriend. Then a road trip to retrieve it. DJ Quall totally steals the show, making this a highly entertaining watch.

Will Ferrell, he got game. But his impressive winning streak could be petering out if this lukewarm basketball comedy is all he has left in the tank. He plays 70s one-hit wonder Jackie Moon. His disco-funk anthem "Love Me Sexy" was such a hit it enabled him to buy his own basketball team, the Flint Tropics. Not only is he the owner, he's also the team's power forward - just one of the reasons they're firmly in last spot in the amateur American Basketball Association standings. When the ABA... Read more
