Some humor is hit or miss, depending on the audience tastes, but the movie is funny overall. Mixed reviews for the cast, especially for MTV's Tom Green.

Road Trip | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Nell Minow Common Sense Media Vulgar for some parents, but teens will love. Rated: 2/5 Dec 28, 2010 Full Review Road Trip | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Globe and Mail Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 22, 2002 Full Review Road Trip | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Michael Thomson BBC.com Rated: 4/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Road Trip | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Tony Black Cultural Conversation Road Trip is very much of its time and place and doesn't nearly have the same cultural footprint of the film it so desperately wishes to be. Rated: 2/5 Feb 15, 2021 Full Review Road Trip | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Kaleem Aftab The List More damn fine than American Pie, Road Trip is the funniest gross-out college comedy since Animal House. Rated: 5/5 Apr 13, 2019 Full Review Road Trip | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Peter Canavese Groucho Reviews Just a cut above the typical, but it goes without saying: your mileage may vary.

MD AMIR S Road Trip is a hilarious and adventurous teen comedy, packed with fun, memorable scenes, and perfect for anyone who loves carefree college trip vibes. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Gwen B I absolutely love this movie! The comedy is immature in the best way possible. The actors are great and I would do anything to be able to watch this movie for the first time again. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/19/24 Full Review Audience Member Great comedy movie, definitely recommend this to anyone who hasn’t seen it. Some jokes are dated but the chemistry between the cast is great. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/04/24 Full Review Rami A My remote's batteries took a road trip to the trash. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/26/24 Full Review Tricia O I LOVE this movie! Memorable characters, incredibly funny, and a little tongue-in-cheek. My favorite guilty pleasure movie. A little crass in places, not for under 14. Even if you are not a fan of Tom Green, watch this movie! He's not a major character, but he has one "laugh out loud" scene you don't want to miss. Obviously, no animals were harmed in the making of this movie, not even a leopard! 😉 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/24 Full Review Larry K Classic movie. Very fun to watch with your friends Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/24 Full Review Read all reviews
