BOMBS AWAY! ; IT MAY BE A HIT BUT THAT DOESN’T MAKE IT FUNNY
The Buffalo News (Buffalo, NY) May 19, 2000 | JIM SANTELLA Movies that generate laughs by breaking taboos are doomed to bomb if for no other reason than comedies are running out of taboos to break. Each generation aspires to recreate its own version of “National Lampoon’s Animal House” whether they call it “Porky’s,” “Overnight Delivery,” “American Pie” or, the latest exercise in taboo bending, “Road Trip.” The ingredients are all the same. A bunch of randy male students with a gross-out factor right off the Richter scale interact with alcohol, drugs, squishy food and lots of nude women.
Writer/director Todd Phillips adds nothing to the genre. Wasn’t it Spike Lee who said, “It used to be that kids would go to the movies to watch adults have sex, now adults go to the movies to watch kids have sex?” Ironically, “Road Trip’s” target audience (young teens) can’t gain admission. in our site movies to watch
The plot of “Road Trip” revolves around Ithaca college student Josh (Breckin Meyer) cheating on his girlfriend Tiffany (Rachel Blanchard) who attends school 1,800 miles away in Austin, Texas. It’s really not cheating — as his male friends inform him — if you’re in different time zones, if you’re too wasted to remember or if you’re with two people at the same time because they cancel each other out. However, it is cheating when you accidentally send videotape of the dirty-deed to your sweetie. site movies to watch
Josh hastily hits the road for Austin with best buds E.L. (Seann William Scott), Rubin (Paulo Costanzo) and nerdmeister Kyle (DJ Qualls) whose car they need to intercept the package. Don’t believe for one minute that I’ve given away the sweet meat plot of this time- waster.
Skip the 91 minute running time of “Road Trip” and you could accomplish something useful like carving a belated Mother’s Day tattoo on your chest. MTV star Tom Green, the film’s narrator, tells the tale of the ill-fated Josh to a group of parents and students he’s leading on a tour of the campus.
He is supposed to be funny. Holding a mouse in his mouth, mooning the camera and lip-locking a student’s mom is neither funny, shocking nor entertaining.
High points (what few there are) go to Seann William Scott (who played Stiffler in “Pie”). He plays a character very similar to Stiffler, and has the best lines and delivery of any other character.
With summer fast approaching and school coming to a close, “Road Trip” just might be this year’s “There’s Something About Mary.” That still doesn’t make it funny, entertaining or worth watching.
ROAD TRIP * STARRING: Tom Green, Breckin Meyer, Amy Smart, Seann William Scott DIRECTOR: Todd Phillips RUNNING TIME: 91 minutes RATING: R for strong sexual content, crude humor, nudity and drug use THE LOWDOWN: College student cheats on girlfriend, videotapes it, then accidentally mails it to girlfriend JIM SANTELLA
