Movie
I don't like
comedies but this is a bad movie even for a comedy. Brekin Meyer plays
Josh, a college student at Ithaqua University. He has a one-night stand
with Beth (Amy Smart), which is taped. Then the tape is accidentally
mailed to his girlfriend Tiffany (Rachel Blanchard) over at Austin
University. Luckily Tiffany is out until Sunday so Josh and his friends
have three days to drive to Austin and get the tape before Tifanny sees
it. Hilarity presumably ensues.
What are my problems with Road Trip?
For one, I don't like comedy where you're supposed to laugh at the
person rather than with them. This is because the jokes get worse and
worse as really bad things happen to the characters. There's also
nudity but it's not done right or something because it's not sexy or
funny or stimulating or anything. There are probably a couple of funny
moments but I don't remember them.

Actors
Amy Smart had a surprisingly larger role than is typical for this kind
of movie. Of course her little side-trip could have been cut out and
the movie would have been much the same. Seann William Scott plays the
same character over and over, it seems to me. Tom Green is just
freaking annoying. I don't like his comedy at all and all the stuff he
does in the movie seems to be mostly ad-libbing.
DVD
There are 10 minutes of deleted scenes, a music video, and a 5-minute
behind the scenes promo.
Recommendations
Road Trip just
plain sucked.
