Road Trip stars some of today's hottest young talent including MTV's hip comedian, Tom Green, Sean William Scott (American Pie), Breckin Meyer and Amy Smart(Varsity Blues). Green brings his outrageous brand of humor to this raucous tale of four college buddies who party hardy on a Road Trip. Josh (Breckin Meyer) has a major problem - besides the fact he's in college in Ithaca, NY and his longtime girlfriend Tiffany is in Austin, TX. A video of him getting funky with the luscious Beth (Amy Smart) was mistakenly mailed to Tiffany and now he has three days to get to Texas before the tape does!
Editor's Note
University of Ithaca College freshman Josh (Breckin Meyer) misses his childhood sweetheart, Tiffany (Rachel Blanchard), who is going to school in Austin, Texas. Josh makes a tape proclaiming his love for her, but one of his friends accidentally mails the wrong tape; he instead sends the tape of Josh having sex with the beautiful Beth (Amy Smart). Josh had slept with Beth only after assuming that Tiffany had found someone else. So Josh, E.L. (Seann William Scott), Rubin (Paulo Costanzo), and Kyle (DJ Qualls), the geek with a car, set off in a powder blue Ford Taurus to intercept the tape before Tiffany can see it. They leave behind the insane Barry (Tom Green), who is on the multiyear graduating plan and would rather stay in the dorm and feed a live mouse to Mitch the snake. The group's 1,800-mile trip will feature encounters with exploding cars, crazy motel clerks, too-hip grandparents, stealing from the blind, the wrong fraternity, and that old stand-by, chef's revenge. The story is told in flashback, as the always frightening Tom Green leads a group of prospective students and their parents through an absurdly hilarious tour of the Ithaca campus, selling Josh's story as a reason to attend the school. ROAD TRIP is good raunchy fun, starring a likable cast of characters, told by director Todd Phillips with a charm that places it above the standard teen exploitation flick.

...like last year's American Pie, Road Trip crisply delivers the goods: vaguely rakish heroes, vaguely kinky sex and highly naked nubiles. Also a little song, a little dance, some French toast down a fat guy's pants... - Andrew O'Hehir
