In the University of Ithaca, while showing the campus to the new students and their relatives, the veteran tour guide Barry Manilow (Tom Green) tells the love story of his friend Josh Parker (Breckin Meyer). Josh has a girlfriend, Tiffany Henderson (Rachel Blanchard), who went to the University of Austin, and they promised to be faithful to each other. However, Josh has an affair with his sexy friend Beth Wagner (Amy Smart), and they accidentally videotape it. One of his friends sends the videotape to Tiffany by mistake, and Josh decides to travel to Austin with his friends E.L. (Seann William Scott), Rubin Carver (Paulo Costanzo) and Kyle Edwards (DJ Qualls) to retrieve the videotape before Tiffany sees it. Will he succeed?

"Road Trip" is a very funny comedy even when the viewer sees more than one time. Using the same storyline of "Overnight Delivery (1998)", with Paul Rudd and Reese Witherspoon, in the style of "Animal House" and "American Pie", "Road Trip" is so hilarious that makes laughing almost uninterruptedly with the humorous situations created by Barry Manilow, Josh, E.L., Rubin Carver and Kyle Edwards. Amy Smart is very sexy and DJ Qualls is the funniest character. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Caindo na Estrada" ("Hitting the Road")

This is a typical movie that's perfect to watch to kill some time with. It's by no means a great, or highly memorable movie but it's still a movie that serves its purpose.

Even though I highly enjoyed watching this movie, it wasn't as funny as expected. The movie could had really used some more comical sequences and situations. There were many missed opportunities in the movie but still that doesn't of course mean that the movie is bad. The biggest strength of the movie is its fun feeling. There are some great comical moments, although not as many and as constant as I expected and hoped for.

Another great thing about the movie are the characters. Breckin Meyer might not had been the best choice for the main character but all the other characters are simply great to watch, especially DJ Qualls. Tom Green's antics were not always funny simply because he isn't a great actor. It also was perhaps a bit too much distracting from the main storyline.

It's a great movie for teenager to watch and it has some typical teenagers humor in it, which I'm sure they'll find hilarious at times. Adults will most likely not be able to fully appreciate all the jokes in the movie.

Road Trip is a good movie with a decent storyline that is certainly a cliché college movie but a lovable cast and enjoyable characters make it more watchable that most immature college movies.Its nothing close to a fantastic comedy and certainly not Todd Phillips finest work,but there are still plenty of funny scenes to make this a short fun movie to watch,preferably with friends.The best part of the movie was definitely Breckin Meyer and Seann William Scott,I always enjoy these two,even when I see a movie with them that i'm not particularly enjoying,they make it more bearable,and they both worked really well with each other in this.If your taste in comedy is fussy,I wouldn't recommend Road Trip,but if you want a short movie to have a good few laughs at,it will definitely deliver.

Four college students set of on a road trip to stop their buddy's girlfriend from receiving an explicit home made video tape of her unfaithful boyfriend in action.

Usually this kind of film turns me off, but I was talked into watching 'Road Trip' with a bunch of college buddies and a couple of twelve-packs, and I couldn't stop laughing.

Josh (Breckin Meyer) has loved Tiffany (Rachel Blanchard) since they were both five years old. But Josh attends college in upstate New York, while Tiffany has gone to school in Texas. Josh's friends think he's crazy to keep up a long-distance relationship when there are plenty of girls around to . . . date. Particularly alluring is Beth (Amy Smart), who has the hots for Josh. When Josh is unable to locate Tiffany by phone and begins to suspect that she's been cheating on him, he gives in to his urges and brings Beth back to his dorm room for a night of hot love. Beth, eager to show how wild she can be, decides to videotape the encounter. The next day, Josh finds out that he couldn't reach Tiffany because of a family emergency, and is immediately wracked with guilt. Things get more complicated when his knuckleheaded suitemate Barry mistakes the sex tape for a video message to Tiffany which Josh had asked him to drop in the mail. Horrified at the thought of Tiffany popping a tape into the VCR to see him making the double-backed beast with another girl, Josh determines to travel to Texas to intercept the illicit tape. His two best friends--resident prankster E.L. (Sean W. Scott) and stoner-intellectual Rubin (Paul Costanzo)--offer to come along, and help Josh persuade mega-nerd Kyle (D.J. Qualls) to let them use his father's car in exchange for a chance to come along for the ride.

From that point on, 'Road Trip' follows the traditional teen exploitation comedy format, though with greater wit and intelligence than should be expected from the genre. Director Todd Phillips manages to give us slapstick, gross-out comedy while simultaneously poking fun at stereotypes and experiences familiar to anyone who's gone to college (psycho-sorority hazing, TAs trying to make undergrad girls, alcohol- and pot-related shenanigans, the nerd breaking bad, a hilarious run-in at an all-black fraternity house,etc.). Compensating for the adolescent hijinks is the surprisingly smart and thoughtful subplot for Kyle, who transforms from nerdy object of derision into the film's most likable and memorable character.

In the tradition of 'Animal House,' 'Road Trip' is crass and juvenile, but irresistibly funny. Not a movie for date night, but a good choice for gathering around the tube with bongs, brews, and bros. An instant joe six-pack classic.

I found this movie to be funny, when compared to Something About Mary and American Pie. And since it is in that arena, it gets a good reputation (though doesn't live up to it's precedors). I found the plot alone humorous- College guy (Breckin Meyer) from Ithica, who is dating a girl (Rachel Blanchard)in Austin since he was little, tapes a sex tape with another girl by accident and mails it to her, so he must retrieve it with his friends (Seann W. Scott, DJ Qualls and Paulo Costanzo).

The Always hilarious (especially here) Tom Green brings us along in this story as he tells the story to a tour group and also includes himself as a experimentist and snake feeder with mice. The wackiness and sickness in this film brings out the best and it is dead pan funny. One of the best comedies of the year. Look for cameos by Horatio Sanz, Andy Dick and Fred Ward. A

I didn't go into this movie expecting to like it. I expected it to be brimming with nothing but pop culture Mtv nonsense. I didn't expect much interest nor did I expect much genuine ha-ha comedy. However being the huge film buff that I am, I decided to give it a shot at the 2 dollar second run theater. I was pleasantly surprised. I found myself often laughing out loud (something I hardly ever do). When they try to ramp the broken bridge and the wheels fall of their car, I thought I was going to bust a gut.

All in all, I was pleased with the crazy adventure the story provided. A young freshman mistakenly sends a cheating sex video to his long distance girlfriend, so he and his friends have three days to drive across the US to retrieve before she sees it. The movie details the trip and the crazy situations the boys get themselves into. This plot, while not the cleverest, has a lot of comedic potential and the writer/director/actors take pretty good advantage of these opportunities. Sure the characters aren't that deep, but in a comedy you don't need deep characters, you need funny ones. This movie provides many to laugh at and with.

FINAL RATING: 7/10 A great comedy genre film that is genuinely laugh-out-loud funny in many parts. Characters are interesting and most importantly, they are FUNNY! Well worth my time and 2 bucks.

This is a regulation teen/college student flick that supplies enough laughs to be successful. Tom Green was however the star of the movie. His scenes would generate a smile from the audience in anticipation of what was about to happen.

These American movies with lower budgets than most the Hollywood big budget trash seem to produce better results as well.

The R-rated teen comedies is a fairly new genre, that has created numerous films of varying quality over the past few years. The best of them is arguably American Pie, and while this one comes close, it just doesn't reach the same high level of quality. It is, however, very close. The plot is very good; it's based on a mix-up(an uncommon mix-up, but not an entirely unbelievable one, I suppose), and on various situations that most teen guys could definitely relate to. The acting is good, all of the leads give pretty good performances, as well as most of the supporting characters. Of course, a somewhat well-known teen-movie actor Seann William Scott is expected to be good, but Amy Smart, Paulo Costanzo, DJ Qualls and Breckin Meyer impressed me, partly because I hadn't seen them in any other movies. The characters are well-written, credible and you can mostly relate to them. The humor is great; it's typical R-rated teen comedy humor, and it's really done great. It's hardly ever overplayed, and there aren't really any of the gags or jokes that fall flat. What puts this slightly below American Pie on the overall entertainment scale is the way this seems to be in a rush to get done with many scenes, and just squeeze as many jokes and gags out in as short time as possible, in order to get to the next scene; American Pie mastered the art that is pacing. It was laid-back, calm and easy to get used to. This has so much stuff crammed into it in such a short amount of time that if you don't pay attention you might miss something. It also has fewer situations that you can relate to than American Pie. One thing that this film has a great amount of is re-watch value; I've seen it no less than ten times now, and I'm not the slightest bit tired of it, which is more than what I can say about American Pie. All in all, a pretty good R-rated teen comedy, but not the best. I recommend it to any fan of teen comedies. 7/10

While Road Trip is nothing groundbreaking in the movie world, no one really expected it to be. You have to appreciate this movie for what it is: a mindless little comedy. Once you've thrown you're expectations out the window, what you'll get is an hour and half of solid laughs. When you boil it down to it, it's basically just a series of gags, strung together with a very weak plot structure. But who cares, for all its shortcomings, there are moments you will be laughing too hard to even notice. Stand out scenes include an uncomfortable encounter at an all-black fraternity and the unforgettable sperm bank hijinx (I am curious if that practice is endorsed by the medical world). Green is his expected eccentric self, although his screen time is very minimal. (His experimentation with certain rodents would make even Richard Gere proud.) And as for Sean William Scott, it seems as if he'll be typecast as Stiffler for the rest of his career, which is not all bad. All in all the movie delivers with laughs throughout making it a worthwhile experience. It is exactly what a movie of this nature should be. 3 out of 5 stars.

Very much an obvious and noticeable rip-off of the AMERICAN PIE formula, but still, I didn't mind it too much. Plenty of sex and gross-out jokes, take it or leave it, but somehow I always warm to Seann William Scott and the sheer outrageousness of his characters.

Similar in style to American Pie, and ultimately stemmed from the likes of Porkys and Animal house, this movie was right up my street.

Josh Parker is separated from his childhood sweetheart by a difference of collage and of course 1800 Miles, until he videos himself having sex with someone else and accidentally sends it to her.

The road trip then begins, and its a journey of disaster, discovery and above all laughs, as Josh tries to get to his sweetheart before the tape does.

A really funny film, with the right ingredients.

8/10 Also check out, American Pie, Old School and if you fancy something older try Porkys and Animal house.

Okay, first off, road trip is not for everyone, it's just not. This movie does have a good bit of sexual content and some nudity, so if that offends you, stay away. Sean William Scott was great in this film, he was perfectly cast in his womanizing hot dude role. And Amy smart was good in this movie too, I like her in it. I really did think I would hate this movie, but I was actually pleasantly surprised. Now yes, the sex and nudity got to be a bit much in a few scenes, but it want pervasive or anything. The actors in this film did a good job with their comedy, the main actors all gave sufficient performances. The movie does a good job of catering to the college age audience. Overall, a 7/10, Sean William Scott was my personal favorite part.

The typical cliché American college movie, though much worse than Eurotrip. In the whole movie, I found only two funny moments (the receptionist in the motel was hilarious in his dignified anger at the guy's question about weed, and also when that girl put her finger up the other guy's ass, AND he loved it haha).

Oh well, on the overall quite boring, but if you have nothing else to do, might as well watch it. (Tom Green is quite dull in this one, really the movie is something of a surprising bore since those comedies usually have some real funny jokes, beit sexist and racist most of the time.)

The stage curtains open ...

After the success of "American Pie", we got a whole slew of new sex comedies in the early 2000's, and "Road Trip" was one of those. I saw this one in the theater when it was first released, and I liked it back then. It has been over 25 years since I've seen it, so I decided to give it another look tonight, and it was just as much fun. This movie was my introduction to a few new faces at the time: Tom Green, Amy Smart, and DJ Qualls. I'd forgotten quite a few things about it. It almost felt like seeing it for the first time again.

Inseparable since they were just little kids, Josh and Tiffany became more than just friends as they grew up. However, when Josh goes to Ithaca College and Tiffany leaves to go to college in Austin, Texas, the long distance begins to take its strain on their relationship. One night, Josh makes love to Beth, a girl he is beginning to fall for, and she records the event on video tape. The next morning, the tape is missing and he realizes that it was sent to Tiffany in the mail instead of another one he'd been preparing for her. He and three of his college friends hit the road in a race against time, to get to her campus before she can have a chance to see it.

I really like this movie. It is campy fun - highlighting the off-kilter comedic stylings of Tom Green. This was before his turn in the film, "Charlie's Angels" where he would meet and fall in love with Drew Barrymore. We got a heavy dose of "Stifler" type of humor as well with Seann William Scott starring as the horny friend to Josh. Breckin Meyer I'd seen in a Freddy Krueger movie about 9 years earlier, so I was familair with him. And, of course, Fred Ward shows up in a role as well.

I would recommend "Road Trip". It has everything you look for in a movie like this. Some insane moments with a lot of laughs and a love story as well. There were a couple of scenes I'd forgotten about, but when I saw them again, I was like ... "So THIS was the movie that was in.". LOL. I will have to save this one and keep it on my radar. It is a film that brings back some good memories and it hasn't let me down yet.

Four friends must make a road trip when a home-made sex tape is accidentally mailed to a girl one of the friends still loves. What follows is "madcap hijinks" This is the only good movie that Tom Green will EVER be in. Mainly because the film never centers on Green himself. And all the parts of the film that he is in fall flat. Whenever the movie focuses on the trip itself it's pretty funny. And at just a smidgen over an hour and a half it doesn't overstay it's welcome, I mean besides Tom Green of course. Man oh man do i hate the douche.

My Grade: B-

DVD Extras: Behind the scenes featurette; Eels music video; cast and crew bios; deleted scenes; Teaser and Theatrical Trailers

DVD-Rom: Screensaver & Trivia game

Eye Candy: Aliya Campbell, Amy Smart, Bridgett Wise, Aerica D'Amaro, and Jaclyn DeSantis all get topless

Exactly what I was expecting from Tom Green! An absolutely hilarious movie that made me laugh out loud throughout. Excellent mixture of gross-out humor, sex and nudity - including a great nude shot of hot young actress Amy Smart!! Irreverent and zany, worth frying your brains for 90 minutes!

ROAD TRIP stars Breckin Meyer as Josh Parker, a college student who accidently has a tape of him cheating on his girlfriend mailed to her. What to do? Go on a road trip with his buddies to get to the tape before it gets to her. On the way, they get into some hysterical situations and give great comedic performances. There are a lot of road movies, but this is the very best one.

How can I explain this movie? IT'S HILARIOUS!! Though you know the plot is no more than a setup for one wacky situation after another, it works and it works great. This comedy pushes the envelope in every aspect, and smiles proudly. Tom Green, who gets a pretty small role, is the scene-stealer. Fans of him will be very impressed. One moment that had me almost on the floor was the French toast scene with SNL regular Horatio Sanz. I don't want to give away any of the comedy, because that would be a sin. Just take my word: You will love this movie! You will not stop laughing! This is one trip worth taking!

I saw this "movie" last night, and I am absolutely agast to see the positive reviews here. I love comedy, but this movie was only unintentionally funny. There was not one redeeming joke in the entire movie, the characters were dull and underdeveloped (not to mention, I both despised and couldn't relate to them, no matter how hard the director tried to get me to)

I can't think of one time I honestly laughed. I like Tom Green, but his talents (such as they are) are wasted here. Juvenile gross-out humor only works when it's funny and/or balanced out by other sorts of humor. Neither of this happens in the putrid claptrap of a movie.

I hope the makers of this monstrosity are prevented from making another movie. I mean, seriously, when are they going to make a movie about/for teenagers that is smart and worthy of our viewing time. Hollywood really thinks teenagers are stupid and unable to be entertained by anything but farts and fingers up the bottom. I hope they are wrong.~

When I saw "Eurotrip" for the first time I heard this was some kind of sequel on "Road Trip". Since I watched "Eurotrip" and loved it, I had to see this one as well of course. Big was my surprise when I saw that none of the actors that were in "Eurotrip" were in "Road Trip". I might even say that the two movies have nothing to do with each other, except for the fact that both are about students who are about to make a long trip. Did I care? Certainly not, I loved this one as well!

The story is told by Tom Greene, who brings it as some kind of urban legend to future students and their parents who visit the university for the first time. He tells them that three guys went on a trip from Ithaca, New York to Austin, Texas, because they had to retrieve a video cassette. On the tape was supposed to be a video message for the life-long girlfriend of one of them, but instead it features him in bed with another girl. Of course someone has send the tape to her by accident and now he'll have to get it back before she sees it...

What you'll get to see is an hilarious movie that, it has to be said, isn't all too original. It follows the typical guidelines for teen comedies, but does it all very well. Even though it is irresistibly funny, I loved Eurotrip a little bit more. I gave that one an 8 and "Road Trip" a 7.5/10. Nevertheless, this is still one of those movies to see if you are with some buddies.

If you were in college in the 90s or early 2000s and appreciate crude humor and a goofy movie with a basic plot you'll enjoy this. It really captures the utter freedom of college of 4 guys who go on a wacky road trip with reckless abandon. It speaks to the college experience- sex jokes, dorm room hookups, a frat, a college party, and just young college kids having fun. It was before smart phones were a thing and the main character is trying to intercept the wrong vhs tape sent in the mail. If you went on a road trip with buddies you'll relate. Some of it's way over the top, but it's just a movie.

ROAD TRIP stars Breckin Meyer as Josh Parker, a college student who accidently has a tape of him cheating on his girlfriend mailed to her. What to do? Go on a road trip with his buddies [Seann William Scott, Paulo Costanzo, DJ Qualls] to get to the tape before it gets to her. On the way, they get into some hysterical situations and give great comedic performances. There are a lot of road movies, but this is the very best one.
