Stupidly--smartly is not within their natural range--a bunch of guys at mythical Ithaca College snail-mail the wrong videotape. They think they are sending the one in which Josh (Breckin Meyer) expresses his moony affection for his lifelong girlfriend Tiffany (Rachel Blanchard), who is studying veterinary medicine in faraway Austin, Texas. What they actually dispatch is hard evidence that he has strayed with Beth (Amy Smart...
...plot's just barely there. College student Josh (Meyer) accidentally sends his long-distance girlfriend a videotape of his drunken infidelity, and with three days to intercept the tape, he drags along some friends on the road trip from Ithaca, New York to Austin, Texas. For most of the movie, then, plot becomes irrelevant-the script uses the empty time on the road to pack in as many laughs as possible.

He spent the rest of the day manually faxing press releases. "My stress level was through the roof," he says...
Except at the DeLay residence, though, the show has become a D.C. mainstay. Last week when Bradley Whitford, who plays deputy chief of staff Josh Lyman, was having lunch on Capitol Hill with an old friend, half a dozen lobbyists stopped by to drop off business cards and offer ideas for future plot lines that favor their clients. The staff of Michigan Representative John Conyers helpfully sent along 200 pages of material on the issue of paying reparations to black Americans as compensation for slavery--a topic that figured in an earlier episode...
