90I'm talking cheap visual gags, painfully embarrassing moments and other sophomoric humor guaranteed to get you and your friends almost vomiting with laughter.
-
88Grosser than "American Pie"! More penis jokes than "There''s Something About Mary"! Nudity more gratuitous than "Porky''s"!
-
80Like last year's "American Pie," Road Trip crisply delivers the goods: vaguely rakish heroes, vaguely kinky sex and highly naked nubiles.
-
77It's a larky hoot in its best moments, and it has a refreshingly unforced sense of fun that buoys the scenes that are straight out of Lame Movie Laffs 101.
-
75The jokes, fast and furious enough to satisfy both teens and intrepid parents, are far funnier than they are raunchy.
-
75A cheerfully crude, well-cast (and frequently uproarious) campus comedy in the tradition of "There's Something About Mary."
-
75Slightly more mature and better assembled, Road Trip goes one better on "American Pie" by teasing out the idiosyncrasies in four guys existing in a personality grab bag.
-
75Slick, reasonably amusing, never asking its audience to swallow anything too wild for consumption.
-
70As long as Green is onscreen, which is not nearly enough, Road Trip is easy to get revved up about.
-
70Be forewarned: After you see Road Trip, it may be months, if not years, before you can order French toast with a straight face and a settled stomach.
-
70It satisfies your appetite for totally tasteless but deliciously flaky boy movies.
-
70At a relaxed pace, accompanied by restrained pop music.
-
67Silly, simple and sophomoric -- and also intermittently hilarious and, surprise of surprises, directed with unexpected craft.
-
63Plot? There is no plot. You want plot, go read "War and Peace."
-
63Not as consistently or uproariously funny as "American Pie," but it does have a Zen zaniness that gives it center as well as edge.
-
63We all know grossly moronic behavior can, in the right situation, generate hearty guilty-pleasure guffaws - at least until overkill wears out the welcome.
-
60Gets a lurching spring in its step whenever Tom Green shows up to, say, cram a live mouse in his mouth.
-
60Bad taste is timeless. And sometimes it can be so funny that you can't help laughing.
-
60This isn't an objectionable movie, just a mild, obvious, and rather limp one, with plenty of little jolts but no ejaculatory payoff.
-
50It's sweet when it should be raunchy, or vice versa, and the result is a movie that seems uneasy with itself.
-
50The film's real find is D.J. Qualls, who is very funny as a jug-eared nerd who blossoms into a wild man after three days on the road.
-
50When it's not wasting time with character, this deliberately dumb collegiate comedy is good for a few laughs of the big butts and sex variety, but not much else.
-
50This is a familiar journey and director/co-writer Todd Phillips sidesteps every opportunity to inject a little edge or originality into it.
-
50Genially moronic, Road Trip will tide you over until the next slice of "American Pie" comes along.
-
40All I know is that guys are strongly advised to avoid this on a first date.
-
40When Phillips is out of the zone, however, Road Trip slows down, awaiting another redemption.
-
Degenerates into a slow-moving game of connect-the-gross-outs.
-
38Occasionally wills itself to rude, crude life. But most of the time it's pretty limp.
-
30But as objectionable as its subject matter is, the most objectionable thing is that it's not funny.
-
25The animals in Road Trip are pretty hilarious; as a five-minute short on cable TV's "Animal Planet," this film would be a stitch.
-
5A cinematic lowpoint, even within its decidedly lowbrow genre, the teen gross-out sex romp.
-
0It ranks (indeed, it is rank) among the most soul-deadening movies ever made; it has no pulse and seeks to steal yours with a cynical vengeance.

Eric8A classic of the trashy-teen-comedy genre. They rarely make them like this anymore.

BenH.10Very funny movie. Even my 60 year old dad laughed during several parts of the film. One of the best comedies I have ever seen!
