Alternate Versions

In the TV version, nearly all profanities have been edited out, the naked women in the locker room are now wearing towels (most of the dialogue has been cut as well), and instead of "FUCK OFF", Jacob writes "DIE" on the paper in the office. Curiously though, the blind girl who E.L. steals the school bus from still gives him the middle finger.

User Reviews

This is a great movie full of heart, rolls and characters

Roadtrip is a good road movie. Unlike most other teenage comedy films out there this one actually has some heart and the characters- whilst typical sex obsessed pot smokers- have good personalities. The stand out apart from the cast is Tom Green as the creepy roommate who has a pet python. If you liked American Pie you'll enjoy Road trip. Not just because of the presence of Sean William "stifler" Scott but also nice campuses, hot chicks and lot of beer and pot.
