Road Trip
Short description
Josh is a college student in Ithaca, New York, whose long-distance girlfriend Tiffany studies in Austin, Texas. After a night with Beth, a sorority girl who films the encounter, a videotape of it is mailed to Tiffany by mistake. Josh has only a few days to reach Texas and intercept the tape before it arrives, so he sets out with three friends who are very different from one another. The road trip that follows is an adventure comedy.
Road Trip was released in 2000 and runs 93 minutes. Todd Phillips directed it and wrote the screenplay with Scot Armstrong, with Daniel Goldberg and Joe Medjuck producing for DreamWorks Pictures, The Montecito Picture Company and Ivan Reitman Productions. Breckin Meyer plays Josh, Seann William Scott plays E.L., Amy Smart plays Beth, Paulo Costanzo plays Rubin, DJ Qualls plays Kyle and Rachel Blanchard plays Tiffany; 76 cast members and 126 crew members are credited. The film was Phillips's first directorial credit in the chronological list of his features, ahead of Old School, Starsky & Hutch, School for Scoundrels, The Hangover, Due Date, The Hangover Part II, The Hangover Part III, War Dogs, Joker and Joker: Folie à Deux.
Produced for 16 million USD, it took about 120 million USD worldwide, a strong return on its budget. On IMDb it holds 6.5/10 from 188,000 votes and on TMDB 6.3/10 from 2,280 votes, while critics rated it 6.4/10 from 96 reviews, so notices and audiences were close.
What's left behind the scenes
- Crispin Glover auditioned for the role of Jacob.
- Although the script called for filming to take place in educational institutions in Ithaca, Boston, and Austin, almost all of the school scenes were filmed at the University of Georgia.
- Filming took place from October 16 to December 27, 1999.
- A motel employee is reading a magazine with Drew Barrymore on the cover. At the time of filming, Drew was engaged to actor Tom Green, who played the role of Barry Manilow.
- Initially, during the scene where the hapless travelers try to jump a car over a bridge, a famous composition from the Bond series, remixed by Moby, was supposed to play. However, it was later replaced with a simpler song, as using such a hit in the film would have required a significant budget increase.
