Review of Road Trip

Road Trip (2000)
7/10
Deliciously irreverent
31 July 2007
Although 'Road Trip' is a mainstream film, I cannot help thinking that it displays some kind of very refreshing 'political incorrectness' that could be found in this type of film in the 90's America, like for instance, despite their subject being different, 'Threesome', or 'The Faculty', featuring unusual,well, not-so-ordinary individuals in a rather positive way. The jokes and the situations may not always be hilarious, but at least, there is some kind of freedom of expression in 'Road Trip' that seems to have disappeared from today's US comedies. But... If we look at the release dates of the movies I quoted, we have: 1994 (Threesome), 1998 (The Faculty) and 2000 (Road Trip), that is to say, BEFORE W. It really seems that since him, there is a terrible downfall in the making of comedies and other genres in the US, which definitely gives me some nostalgia, for what affects American cinema, for the Clinton era...
