Road Trip

"Road Trip" should an heir apparent to the mantle of "Porky's". It is not. It is not because it attempts to be crude and sweet all at once, which just does not work.

Especially in Hollywood.

In Hollywood there is a lack of understanding, an omission of comprehension when it comes to a matter of understanding raunch and sweetness. For example, consider "Road Trip". It is sweet when it should be rauncy. It is raunch when it should be cute. And so on.

"Road Trip", simply, is a drive in/guy movie: A bunch of guys get in someone's truck, drive to the drive in, and get drunk while they watch this movie. A state of drunkeness is the only way to appreciate something so bad.

The plot of "Road Trip" is simple and thus: As narrated by personality Tom Green it about a frat boy named Josh (Breckin Meyer), who has been seeing a girl named Tiffany (Rachel Blanchard) every since high school. But he is now a student at Ithaca University in New York, and she has decided she needs to do something other than be with him. So she enrolls at and goes to the University of Austin, Texas.

A long-distance relationship follows. But as such things go Tiffany's attention span dies on the vine and Josh gets involved with a co-ed named Beth (Amy Smart), and one night they do the deed (she's a sexpot, so this is a predictable given). Nothing to that except they make a video of the entire thing.

At the same time Josh has made a tender and kind and sweet video to send to Tiffany. Which he is going to send, but a mix-up results and the porno tape is sent instead.

Which results in a road trip from New York to Texas to recover the tape before Tiffany sees it.

Hence the title and alledged plot.

To make things interesting (which is relative here), Josh borrows a car that belongs to a friend, Kyle (DJ Qualls), and takes friends Rubin (Paulo Costanzo) and E.L. (Seann William Scott) along to get the tape back.

Does Josh get the tape? Does it matter? Are you really going to see this movie? If you have any semeblance of self-respect (which those responsible for this movie obviously don't), you won't.
