Having watched every episode so far I think this is the greatest thing to hit the screen in ages. The directing is fantastic and im sure pioneering as far as soap operas come. This is also great because it is not just targeted at the usual predominant female target audience but at young and old viewers a like, both male and female. Personally I would compare it to Hollyoaks in its target audience but completely different in its style. I think this is a space which definately needs to be watched. The characters are so distinct, from the seductive Sharon Stone(Basic Instinct) esque Jane Harper, with her michievious ways and intelligent manipulation of the male mind to the old tv favourites such as Alex (Charlie in the upper hand) and Aunt Rachel (Dorean in Birds of a feather)whom we witness in new yet very fitting roles. This Soap/drama has something for almost everyone, the almost being not the older age bracket (50+ sorry).To sum this soap/drama up I would have to say it is a combination of the escapist american shooting to the gritty British realism which has made films such as Lock Stock' and Bridget Jones Diary so popular. The experience is a vicarious ride which to a film student like myself may seem odd in a soap, but incredibally fitting. Written by Sebastian James-Yong

I'll be very brief here, what can I say about this film. Yes its funny, yes its witty, but as for originality this film is the ultimate in ripping off other films. I have just been brought to the attention of a film called 'Overnight Delivery', and after having watched this film which incidentally was made in 1996, I began to think that there needs to be some serious injection into the creation process of these 'teenie' movies,as Road Trip was literally the tail of this movie, and for this reason i give overnight delivery a poor 5/10 and road trip a 7/10 for comedy and 0/10 for originality. Admittedly I am probably not extremely accurate with my facts but even still, watch and see.
