Road Trip (R-Rated Edition)
$9.98
This movie would have been great, but for Tom Green's role. Albeit very small, his nauseatingly uncreative same character every single time bit was an annoying distraction. The rest of the movie was pretty good though. The concept was fun, and somewhat newish, and with some actually creative scenes and plot development. Not obsessively over the top in american pie kind of way. delete the tom green part and you have a legitimately decent flick.

The Little Road Trip Handbook
$14.95
I picked up this book thinking it might give me some good ideas for road trips. While it does mention some popular road trips (such as Route 66), these descriptions total only 4 or 5 pages. The rest of the book is basically the author telling jokes. Jokes about music, traveling companions, odd laws in some states, etc. These jokes would be fine if the author was actually funny, but he isn't. All in all it's a rather pointless book.

I also found it sadly ironic that this "book" about American road trips was published in China.

Eurotrip / Road Trip
$14.98
I purchased this a while ago and just recently rewatched each movie. Personally I feel that Eurotrip is the better of the two movies, but both are great in their own rights. Both movies have really stupid, mindless humor that appeals to many people, but it is a whole lot of fun and very laugh out loud entertaining all the same. Id say its definitely geared more for older teens/young adults, though I do know many adults who enjoy the type of humor found in each of these movies. In any case, this is a good price to get 2 for 1 movies. However if you're a person who enjoys watching special features I would buy each movie seperately.

Road Trip - Beer Pong (Unrated Edition)
$29.98
No real surprises here, but I made sure to have no expectations as only two people came over from the first Road Trip (DJ Qualls and the tour mom). Story follows our college youth who compete in a nationals beer pong tournament and the troubles they go through in getting there. Along the way we get treated to some boring subplots, plenty of beautiful breasts, and lots of beer pong. I dig these kind of movies and they can rent/sell very well when it revolves around beer, but this was just below average in entertainment value.

The picture and sound were fine, but the supplements were funnier and more entertaining than the movie. Including:
* On The Road to Victory/Making Of - 25 minute featurette containing the cast/crew interviews; which had some funny insights like how stoked the writer was that he got the sequel director on board (this crew has made the Bring It On follow-ups, the American Pie and Slap Shot sequels) and how the director had cast the tour mom in this film not even knowing she had been in the first Road Trip.
* Bodacious Babes of Ta Ta's - 3 minute blurb on the gals that filled their roles (and half-shirts) for that sequence of the film.
* Chastity Bus - 3 minutes on the fun that group of gals had playing their parts.
* Get Your Balls Wet - 9:28 minute take on how the cast feels you should play the game, I suppose it would be the essential for those wanting to learn the finer points. Covers what they learned in doing their "research" for the film.
* In The Buff - 5 minutes on the party they had in filming the concert sequence towards the end.
* Deleted Scenes - 5 minutes of forgettable cuts.
* Bloopers - 7 minutes long, and honestly it was funnier than the entire movie.

The unrated is only a minute longer and I did not see anything monumental of "unrated" quality. Another one of those you have playing in the background at a party. One for the movie and two for the extras, skipper otherwise. Enjoy.
