Road Trip

                           
This feels a lot like 'Amercan Pie', because of both the humor and the presence of Sean William Scott.
               
              
I'm not going to wast much of my life on this, mostly because I've already written about it before, but Blogger failed to safe my draft (if I was emoji inclined I'd put an irritated looking one here).
The movie is fine at what it set out to do, and I did find myself laughing a couple times, but the humour is so slapstick as to make it only marginally tolerable. It doesn't have a consistent tone either, and it feels like the movie is somewhat unsure of what it's trying to be. There are a lot of awkward little stops and starts that break up the plot, but the characters are all basically fine. It falls into the same category as the works of Adam Sandler - and that's the best description I've made this whole review.
If you want to read a much much longer and funnier one, Ebert did a great job. I laughed at his more than I did the actual movie.
