The film is so cheerfully raunchy, so fiercely crude, that the humour becomes as intoxicating as the mind-altering substances. The standout in the ensemble is Zach Galifianakis, who is alternately creepy and hilarious. Ed Helm (The Office), in addition to his memory, loses a tooth in uncomfortably realistic fashion, and Bradley Cooper (He's Just Not That into You) has deadpan comic timing that whips along at the speed of light. "Ma'am, you have an incredible rack," he blares to a pedestrian from the squ...

love this film, very funny. i have watched it over and over and never tire of it.

The film's humour is more democratic than politically correct, as everyone--women and minority characters, not just the hipster white guys--have a hand in the high jinks. Green plays Barry Manilow (no, not that one), a professional student (eight years and counting)--he relates the film's story to sceptical prospective students while leading them on a tour of the college. In particular, i...

Do you like American Pie?

If so, this film is certainly made by the same stuff, and Seann William-Scott players E.L. which is a Stifler clone so obvious it's a wonder copywright writs were not served on the producers!

Tom Green is excellent, and the plot and sub-plots are fun and diverse. This is definately not for someone who needs a dose of reality, the comedy scenes appear to have been created and then a plot placed around them rather than vice versa.

The movie serves it's own purpose, by that I mean it is like a snapshot of life, rather than a spiritual journey. As with most American films, all the characters go over what they "learn" from the journey, but not as blatantly as American Pie, with the high school thing.

DJ Queals is also a legend in this movie, which has a strong young cast. The saddest thing for me is that there was no sequel. Considering in 2007, there are still American Pie movies being released, this was definately worth Road Trip 2.

Take two male figure skaters, throw in a preposterous storyline, and you've got Blades of Glory, a surprisingly funny film that almost makes you forgive Will Ferrell for his back-to-back 2005 clunkers Kicking & Screaming and Bewitched. This time around, Ferrell eats the scenery in his role as a sex-addicted, cocky skating champ named Chazz Michael Michaels. When he gets into an on-podium fight with his nemesis and co-gold medallist Jimmy MacElroy (Jon Heder, Napoleon Dynamite), both skaters are banned from competing in men's figure-skating events. Forever. Their fall from grace is brutal. Chazz is forced to work for a D-list skating show, while pampered Jimmy is disowned by his wealthy and cold-hearted adoptive father (excellently played by William Fichtner), who only wants to be around winners. When Jimmy points out that he tied for gold, his dad cruelly says, "If I wanted to share, I would've bought you a brother." Flash forward 3-1/2 years and Jimmy's No. 1 stalker Hector (Nick Swardson) says he's found a loophole. Jimmy's been banned from men's singles events, but there's nothing that says he can't compete in pairs skating. ...
