Road Trip (2000)

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.

i watched Hindi dubbed version of this movie and this is based on adult comedy so the main problem is when you are watching a adult type movie in Hindi version they don't exactly translate whole words sometimes they just changed whole topic but in this movie as a Hindi version they used #Sambhog word as a translation of sex word that is OK at least they used that word i watched many movies and they all just skipped that word or used another word like romance etc. to represent it but in here you will listen it and that make movie interesting well movie is good story is not too good but movie is all about adult comedy so this is fine and specially here is #Seann William Scott who was great in American Reunion Movie so here he makes some laugh and good movie. IMDb Rating 6.5 this is released in 2000 so according to that time it's very good.

This 2000 comedy directed by Todd Philips, before he made comedy gold like "Old School" and "Hangover", was made to grab cash from teenagers, in the wake of movies like "There's something about Mary" and "American Pie". And thus it has everything a young male adult would want to see in this type of comedy. Or may, I say, something a person would expect in a movie which is trying to be next "American Pie", but set in college. It has got nudity, sex, sex tape, drinking, toilet humor, four friends and Stifler!!! Yes, the Stifmeister himself!! And I am not saying this because the actor who played Stifler is here, but because he is basically the same character. Only difference is the name and that he has no Finch to humiliate or pick up on. So, is this movie next "American Pie"? Not at all. I desperately wanted to like this movie but I didn't. They forgot that it was clever writing that made Pie and Mary awesome and not the nudity, foul language and bodily fluid itself.First let's talk about the main characters. I have already talked about the Stifler , so let's move on to other characters. The characters are pretty much forgettable and have no personality, except Tom Green's character but not for a good reason. He is there because the director thought "Well, people nowadays like funny scene which have shock value, so why not hire a guy with weird face named Tom Green since he already has a lot of fans on MTV". But he is neither shocking nor funny; he is just creepy and illogical like a psycho killer in dark alley, which appears in your nightmare. Then there is a skinny guy named Kyle who is a no-risk-taker nerd. Anyone who has seen a lot of comedies know that this type of character becomes brave by the end of the movie and we root for him when he stands up against bullies, just so director can show that he cares about something called "character development". But unlike Harold of Harold and Kumar Goes to White Castle or any nerd from Revenge of The Nerds, this guy has no personality and it is difficult to root for him. Then there is our lead character, Josh who like Kyle has no personality and it is difficult to care for him since he is so bland. The only character I liked was Rubin since he makes the nerds look cool and you come to care for him. Not even the Stifler like character was funny, since he was underused.Unlike "American Pie", which was feminist since it had a few male characters who respected women and had some well written female characters, this movie makes mistake of being misogynist. When you are making a sex comedy with heart, you can't make it misogynist. This movie is misogynist because the characters of Stifler/ Sean William Scott and Tom Green treat women like sex object and are often not punished for it. It is misogynist because female characters are underwritten here. And this makes it less feel good.And finally, the funny scenes. The only time I probably laughed was when car crashed. And maybe a few more scenes. But most of the time I didn't laugh. There was a scene in which one of the character politely asks a waiter to change his food since it contains sugar and he did not take sugar in the mornings. The waiter not only gives the same food but also makes it dirty with his farts before Kyle thinks he is eating different food. This is supposed to be a "hair gel" moment but instead of being memorable and funny , it is just gross. It fails due to two reasons: - a) We can see the joke coming since it is so predictable, thus it loses its shock value and b) There was no logic why waiter behaved rudely. "Hair Gel" scene worked in real life, this could actually happen. And then there is Tom Green who is never funny even when he is eating rat or showing his butt. I am not saying I was bored by this movie, but this was something I could have avoided and may not see again in my life. Only thing worth seeing in this movie is nudity.4 out of 10

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.
