How far would you go to save your relationship?

Josh (Breckin Meyer) and three friends travel across the country to save his life-long relationship in the new film Road Trip.

Filled with one of the most hilarious journeys to hit the screen, Road Trip is surprisingly an excellent source of entertainment for most movie goers. The film offers a comical edge that appeals to diverse personalities.

Josh's girlfriend, Tiffany (Rachel Blanchard) is thousands of miles away at college-the two have been together for over five years. Josh meets a girl where he now attends college, has sex and videotapes it. When the tape is accidentally mailed to Tiffany, Josh sets out with three friends on a crazy journey to retrieve the tape.

Meyer is a great main character-he plays a normal college guy who is torn between cheating on his life-long girlfriend and having fun with a sweet-looking lady. Supporting cast, Seann William Scott (American Pie), Paulo Costanzo and DJ Qualls make three excellent Road Trip buddies. Tom Green plays a five year orientation leader- although many critics either love him or hate him, in Road Trip he is effortlessly funny.

With all the gross humor, Road Trip makes an entertaining ride for a large audience. B+
