Josh (Breckin Meyer) videotapes his affair with another girl and accidentally mails it to his girlfriend. Discovering the mistake, he tows two of his college buddies -- and one not-so-eager kid who happens to own the car -- on a raucous 1,800-mile road trip from Ithaca, N.Y., to Austin, Texas, to save his lifelong romance.

Critics Consensus

Some humor is hit or miss, depending on the audience tastes, but the movie is funny overall. Mixed reviews for the cast, especially for MTV's Tom Green.

Road Trip is broadly amusing with a few bright spots. But those can't cover up the major gaps in storytelling, characterization and laughs.

Film Frenzy

There are a few amusing bits, but one’s overall enjoyment of the film will depend on how much one appreciates such gags as a fat cook placing French toast between his butt cheeks and then serving it to a customer, or Tom Green tonguing a live mouse.

Rated: 2/4

Nick Rogers

Midwest Film Journal

Beyond zeitgeist-seizing turns from Tom Green and Seann William Scott and the breakout of DJ Qualls, it's a stump-dumb but solidly funny comedy that, like the Farrelly Brothers, stays generally sweet while tiptoeing to the edge of R-rated offensiveness.

Rated: 3.5/5

Film Obsessive

All of these wild pursuits are a time capsule to a pre-smartphone era where maps, lodging, phone communication, and finding cash to keep going were as improvised and random as the wind beneath their wings.

Just awful... how could anyone give a part to Tom Green in anything? If we substract him, maybe the movie is like 8% better. I still don't understand how this same Todd Phillips is the author of Joker, considering the rest of his work (except for the first Hangover film)

Not the worst movie you could watch if you're bored or if you attend college and are bored.

I absolutely love this movie! The comedy is immature in the best way possible. The actors are great and I would do anything to be able to watch this movie for the first time again.

Great comedy movie, definitely recommend this to anyone who hasn’t seen it. Some jokes are dated but the chemistry between the cast is great.
