OMIGORD!!!!!! How can anyone not love movie?? Okay, yes, there is the odd naked chick scene that you cringe at (unless of course you're a guy) but other than that it's so funny! I've seen it over a million times and still laugh my a** off when they jump the car across the bridge and also when Kyle sends his french toast back to the kitchen and the cook shoves it down his pants!!! It's helerious! I have it on DVD and recommend it to any one who has a good sense of humour!! :)

What Parents Need to Know
This review of Road Trip was written by Nell Minow
Parents need to know that the version of this movie on video includes even raunchier scenes deleted before theatrical release in order to get an R rating. The unrated version released on the video would have been likely to receive an NC-17 rating from the MPAA, and parents might want to view it themselves before allowing their children or teenagers to watch it, even if they saw it in the theater. There's foul language, crude humor, nudity, sexual situations, and a character who does drugs to hide his sensitivity.

What’s the Story?
ROAD TRIP centers on Ithaca University student Barry (Tom Green) and his friends. Trouble begins when Barry's friend Josh (Seann William Scott) cheats on his girlfriend (Rachel Blanchard) with the girl he really likes, Beth (Amy Smart). Not only is his video camera accidentally left on but his friend accidentally mails it to his girlfriend in Austin. Barry remains behind on campus while Josh and three friends set off on an 1,800 mile epic road trip on which they blow up their car, constantly run out of money and regain it in various ways, meet all sorts of crazy people, and learn their respective lessons about standing up to your parents, getting girls, friendship, etc.
Is It Any Good?
In fairness to the intended audience for this movie, the following review was written by my 16-year-old, who wanted to give it more stars: Road Trip, a raunchy comedy in the style of Detroit Rock City and American Pie, is a laugh out loud movie that's good to see with friends if you're a teenager (probably guys will like it more than girls) while parents will avoid it for its vulgar humor and its parents-just-don't understand star Tom Green.
Throughout the movie they shoot back to Barry, who stays on campus because he wants to feed Josh's snake while he's gone. His attempts to get it to eat a mouse, sing folk songs and help Beth find Josh ("He went to Austin. It's in Massachusetts." "You mean Boston?" "Yeah.") had the audience laughing harder than anything else. Green seems to be just thrown in to make it funnier until the ending where he unwittingly saves the day. Although the entire cast is very good and Green is not the main character, it's really his movie.

HOLY CRAP
This movie is one of the funniest movies i have ever seen. It is really a guy movie. One of my favorite scenes is when klye sends his french toast back and the guy does all sorts of stuff to it. There is only really oe scense of nudity but it lasts a little while. The language isnt very bad i can go to shool and hear worse in five minuts.
