“Road Trip” is a road sex comedy movie from director Todd Phillips in his big screen debut. Phillips also wrote the screenplay, with Scot Armstrong, which tells the story of high school sweethearts who attend different colleges, in New York and Texas, and have trouble maintaining their relationship. They keep in touch by exchanging video tapes, when he accidentally sends her tape with him making out with another girl. So he and his friends go on a road trip to Austin, Texas, to retrieve the potentially disastrous tape.
The humor in the film is haphazardly distributed, hit or miss, and, depending on the viewer’s taste, is not as offensive as in many R-rated motion pictures. The sex humor is very mild, with only a handful of nude scenes. The cast includes Brecklin Meyer, Seann William Scott, Paulo Costanzo, DJ Qualls, Amy Smart, Rachel Blanchard, Tom Green, Anthony Rapp, Fred Ward, Andy Dick, Ethan Suplee, Jaclyn DeSantis, Mary Lynn Rajskub, and Ellen Albertini Dow as Mrs. Manilow.
“Road Trip” was a modest hit at the box office for The Montecito Picture Company and DreamWorks Pictures.
