What Parents Need to Know

About Road Trip

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.

    I rate this title iffy for age 2 and give it 4.0

    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.

    Something to laugh your a** off at!!

    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!! :)
