: Road Trip
Surprisingly good. I expected this to be terrible, but it actually had a bit of heart. The plot’s typical: a guy and his girlfriend go to different colleges and he accidentally mails her a videotape of his affair with another girl (instead of his video letter), so he and his pals hit the road to reach Texas and intercept the tape. Chaos ensues. But instead of a series of mindless visual jokes, the mishaps actually help grow the kids, and by the time the guy reaches the girl, he realizes he doesn’t really love her and when she breaks up with him, he’s okay with that. Meanwhile, the girl he had the “affair” with turns out to be a decent gal who really loves him. It’s not Shakespeare by any stretch, but it’s got its moments. It’s not quite as funny as I might have expected, but I actually liked that it treated the characters more seriously than most of these kinds of films.
