Road Trip 

Another Gen-X sexy summer comedy about obnoxious boys and the slightly smarter girls who try to tame them. The story revolves around four college dudes from Ithaca University who must travel to Austin, Texas in order to save one of the dudes' love life.

The title says it all so there's not much need to list the funny, wacky and just plain insane pratfalls our heroes will likely endure given the circumstances. This is a college movie so you can take a guess as to what kind of humor is going on here. Does it work? Yes... if you're not easily offended! But it's unfortunate the screenplay doesn't have much going for besides the jokes which makes the film one-dimensional. It's your call.

GRADE: B-
