Road Trip review

The "road trip" is a classic movie premise. A metaphor for the journey a person, or persons, takes towards change. We've seen thousands of them in the past and there will be thousands more in the future. So what does this one have that no other has? Well Felicity's Amy Smart topless for a start. So that's got the guys sorted. They'll be heading for the cinema in droves now. But what is there for the women out there? Nope, not a lot.

The way too cute Josh (Breckin Meyer) is facing college life away from his girlfriend. It is approaching the end of their first semester apart and the strain is beginning to show after they made that stupid, but inevitable, decision to remain faithful to each other. Temptation comes-a-callin in the form of Beth
(Ms. Smart), and what a temptation it is, who eventually succeeds in getting her man both into bed and onto videotape. When Josh's room-mate sends this tape to the girlfriend instead of a soppy video love letter we get our road trip. Josh, his room-mate, a friend and the, necessary, geek who owns the car set across the country from Ithaca, New York to Austin, Texas to intercept the package and save the relationship. Interlaced with this we see Beth trying to find Josh, the parents of one of the trippers searching for their missing son and the narrator having an interesting relationship with a large python.

All the clich�s are here. Things go wrong, things blow up, they meet some freaky locals, they dance, they swear and one of them has sex for the first time. What makes or breaks films like this is how the clich�s occur. In Road Trip some of them stand and some of them don't and that really explains this movie. Road Trip>/I> doesn't really have anything to say. It is just going out to have some fun. It's T&A aspects lead it to comparisons with the earlier American Pie and the great eighties films such as Zapped, Porky's, Revenge of the Nerds etc etc. So don't go expecting something insightful. . It is what it is - good, mindless fun that is instantly forgettable, not social commentary.
