Road Trip 2

9 years after the first road trip was out this new instalment brings back DJ qualls (kyle) who takes potential new undergraduates to show and tell them of the college.

Not as anywhere funny or original as the first one this movie does bring a few laughs, but nothing major. The movie is highly predictable and does not allow the watcher to connect with the road trip. I felt with the first and second road trip that the viewer can feel part of the movie which was not the case with this one. This is a straight to DVD release which tells you a lot about the movie.

If you have nothing to do and have some beers in the fridge and snacks i'd recommend this movie. If you want to actually watch a movie and make time for one, this is not it!!

"Road Trip" has always been sort of a guilty pleasure for me, so I guess I watched this straight-to-DVD sequel hoping that it would recapture an ounce of the original's charm. Unfortunately though, it never even came close. To their credit, they did get DJ Qualls to reprise his role (sorta kinda, he acts completely different), but that's all the effort that went into this. The writing is just so lazy, I don't watch lowbrow comedies for their ingenious plots but some kind of story would have been nice. The whole movie is just our bland protagonists going to random places (a sex comedy with a strip club scene, very original), looking at naked chicks that seriously don't want to be there and then on to the next location for more of the same. Writer Brad Riddell (of "American Pie Presents: Band Camp"...fame?) couldn't set up an actual gag if his life depended on it, so he does the next best thing: writing some dirty words on a napkin and just seeing where the scene goes from there. Furthermore, beer pong is a selling point for a movie now? Is there anything more boring than watching people play beer pong without being in the game yourself? Thank God the subtitle barely comes into play, but that's about the only decision they got right. This "sequel" is totally pointless, has zero laughs and at times is just embarrassing to look at.

Road Trip: Beer Pong is a sex comedy film directed by Steve Rash. The film stars Preston Jones, Michael Trotter, Nestor Aaron Absera, Danny Pudi, Julianna Guill, DJ Qualls and Rhoda Griffis.

A collage roommates joins a bus full of beautiful girls to compete in National Beer pong Championship.

The plot of the film is decent and the execution is also good but the main drawback of the film is it's actors who are the main let down of what could be a wonderful sex comedy film. The acting is just bland and pale and didn't excites much.

The plot of the film is decent and the execution is also decent, the film has few of it's good hilarious scenes which will surely make you laugh and will keep your interest intact towards the film.

Acting as mentioned is a major let down of the film and apart from DJ Qualls who is a major relief in the acting department no one impresses.

Screenplay of the film is cliched but decent and climax of the film is predictable and doesn't excites much. In my opinion the acting is the major let down in what could've been a wonderful film, still can be watched once.

Beer pong is a game of impulsiveness, immaturity, and amplified distractions, so the fact that Road Trip: Beer Pong has all these characteristics, I suppose it can be seen as faithful to its subject matter. That's about one of the only things I can credit the film for, as it seems to be predicated off of the worst tendencies in contemporary raunchy comedies.

The film stars Preston Jones as Andy, a simple college kid with a loyal but somewhat oppressive girlfriend (Julianna Guill), who has just transferred to Andy's college in Ithaca. Andy and his buds Korkin (Michael Trotter, who looks nothing shy of a young Ashton Kutcher) and Razor (Daniel Newman) are beer pong players for their college and are about to compete in the national tournament. Things get better when Andy realizes that one of the beer pong advertised is a young French woman whom he had a thing with years back. Now they have an extra incentives to head out to nationals and decide to take a road trip. Blink if you think it'll be a crazy ride. It all starts when they try and gain sponsorship from a local despot named Arash (Danny Pudi), whose native country has a coup leading him and the group of collegians arrested and abandoned in a random town in Maine.

The film opens as an orientation of the college by current student Kyle Edwards, who returns from the original Road Trip film reprised by DJ Qualls. I've mentioned my appreciation for Qualls as an actor and screen-presence, mainly for his charming, every-man nature and likable charisma. Even in this film, as mediocre and as dreary as it is, Qualls finds humor and likability. Even if he is consistently being hit on by a mother-daughter team attending the campus tour.

The bar has been raised for comedies in the last eight or so years. Comedies like Road Trip: Beer Pong are similar to the series of spin-offs bearing the American Pie name, as they appeal to the smaller percentages by marketing the lowest common denominator of comedy. These are films that feature excessive nudity and confuse zealous amounts of language and bawdiness for wit and humor. Compare this to the films of Judd Apatow, some of the most humanistic and hilarious comedies you'll be able find in this day and age.

Because the bar has been raised, my main complaint with Road Trip: Beer Pong is its inability to even function as a faithful member of its genre. It mistakes excessive vulgarity and nudity for humor, completely shunning the most crucial factor in comedy, which is obviously the writing. To do that alone is a very poor move; to have it leach onto a film from 2000 and have such minimal continuity from it - like one character - in hopes to garner more viewership is nothing shy of disingenuous.

Starring: Preston Jones, Michael Trotter, Daniel Newman, Julianna Guill, Danny Pudi, and DJ Qualls. Directed by: Steve Rash.

lemme start off by telling you i have been waiting for this one for a long time. I totally forgot what was in the first one but it was funny...this one though....not so much.

first the acting was not good at all...it was just mediocre. people illustrated themselves as party people pretty good but their was no fire behind it.

second if you wanted to see this movie for the T&A you will get some but not a lot. the nude scenes were pretty hot but if you been waited to see if Julianna Guill would show some skin...keep on waiting cause she only shows cleavage and thats the best it gets. You probably will never see her performance in Friday the 13th ever again. she does get more scenes and stuff which is cool cause she has a hot voice.

third the concept of beer pong is pretty cool but is shown basically nothing. I seen those youtube clips of people making amazing shots from different angles and thought this movie was gonna show more but it was so so and it was more like Road Trip: Beer Pong Chicks.

fourth if you seen a lot of comedy movies and such you will fully predict what happens..so it was kinda boring for me but yeah very very predictable.

all in all its a flick that you could see in your spare time or if you just want to watch it for the chicks in it. there definitely are some great hilarious moments but they last for like 3 seconds.
