...next day and a lot on my mind, I went into Road Trip nursing a very, very bad mood. I also wasn't particularly thrilled about seeing what people were calling an American Pie rip-off, a There's Something About Mary gross-out clone where the raunch was heaped on the audience just for the sake of getting a few shocked laughs. In other words, if Road Trip wasn't damned good, I was perfectly happy to tear it apart...
...have to either a) do another Speed sequel, b) go to acting school or c) start doing infomercials... I think I'm the only one who thinks Whoopi Goldberg is a better Oscar host than Billy Crystal. Billy is nice and safe, but Whoopi was 100 percent grade-A raunch. After Vanessa Williams sang the hit song from Pocohontas, she wondered aloud about the color of her own "wind." And when she tackled Showgirls, she was just asking for trouble: "I haven't seen that many poles abused since WWII"... Poor Kelly Martin. She decided to leave...

Writer Adam Herz and the hot producer-director team of Chris and Paul Weitz occasionally hint that a teenager's most poignant groping is for his elusive identity.

As Cartman says of the Terrance and Phillip epic, "This movie has warped my fragile little mind." To viewers with sturdier cerebellums, here's another warning: you may laugh yourself sick--as sick as this ruthlessly funny movie...
...Even on the indie circuit inflation is a fact of life. Haynes' 1991 Poison cost $350,000; the 1995 Safe came in at $1 million; and Velvet Goldmine is about a $9 million production. But what a production! There hasn't been such a smartly gaudy spectacle of musical raunch since Ken Russell's Tommy back in 1975, when the road to excess was carpeted in spangles...
