Eh...
See, here is the problem with our movie blog, some films are just throughly underwhelming and the motivation to document it on the blog will run short. We are running about four movies behind and need to quickly catch up.
So Road Trip fits right in with Harold and Kumar, Accepted, and Van Wilder as college comedies that have their moments, are entertaining to watch, yet lack an overall quality and re-watchability. I don't regret seeing Road Trip but I never plan on seeing it again. It fails to capture the quality that Old School or Outside Providence have.
Bland and predictable, interesting at times, and, since we have been pointing these things out lately, I should add a so-so sex scene with Amy Smart that is noteworthy only because I didn't think she did nudity in movies.
Tom Green is contained by the plot and not as annoying as he is in his own movies. His obsession with feeding a disinterested snake and his weird never-left-town character wasn't bad. The protagonist was forgettable, Sean Williams Scott was a tame Stiffler rip-off, and DJ Qualls' weird skinny kid was strangely fascinating. Not sure how else to describe it. I wondered what else we might see him in but it is mostly TV (Scrubs, CSI) and a few movies like The New Guy and The Core, Hustle & Flow. Hey- he's going to be in Alpha-Dog with JT- cool!
... better be careful before we end up with another actor-driven marathon.
that is all.

I agree. This movie was totally bland. Not much happening with the characters. Maybe a few chuckles here and there with Tom Green. I guess its fair to put it in the Accepted,Van Wilder,Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle-type category but I do think all those movies were funnier and more enjoyable than Road Trip.
