Even though this movie has it moments, for the most part it is all the same lame jokes that have been in the rest of the high school crowd movies. It wasn't so original. I would say it was just the Canadian version of American Pie, Trojan War, and the rest of the looking to get laid/road trip movies out there. The main character has hippie laid back parents, lives in a quiet surfing village yet is a little on the up tight site.Another issue I had with this movie is why not fly across the country to be with the love of his life instead of cutting so close driving across. Overall, if nothing else is on on TV, it ain't so bad that would make you want to change the channel.
This movie might as well have been called "Canadian Road Trip" as it follows "Road Trip" almost to the letter. Starting with the characters: the romantic lead, the pot-hungry friend, and the party-crazed, loud friend. All three take off on an adventure to save the lead's relationship. Along the way, they lose their vehicle, run out of money, the loud, party guy takes it in the corn-hole and enjoys it, the pot-smoker gives dope to an old man, and in the end, the main character ends up breaking up with the girlfriend to be with the other girl. There's even a point where a fire extinguisher is set off.All that being said, I liked "Road trip" and also enjoyed this movie. Some fresh jokes thrown in with some of the oldest laughs ever. The farmer's daughter bit at first I thought was going to be dumb, but it turned out to be worth a good laugh. And the hippie parents were a riot. Cameos don't overly impress me in any movie, but if you're into cameos, then the appearances of Avril, GOB, Swollen Members, and George Whatever-his-name-is from Much music should satisfy your need for celebrities in this film.With the film makers obviously trying to show the diversity of Canada's landscape and lifestyles. Starting with the west coast beaches, the prairie carnival, the Montreal strip club, and "floggin' fish and chips" in Newfoundland. And for the back-drop, everything from The Rockies to icebergs. I have to say, it's nice for once to watch a movie where the settings are familiar to me. Seeing places that I've actually been to locally.If you wanna good laugh and not have to think too hard, then this is one that you'll wanna see.
First I would like to point out that it's GOB not Sum 41. Also I thought the cameos from Avril, GOB, the MUCH Music dude, and Swollen Members was pretty cool to see. As the topic states I think this is like a Canadian version of American Pie. Only better. It seemed to go farther than AP was willing to go. The storyline was cheesy and predictable but it's a teen comedy. It's main purpose is to make people laugh. Which I did. Hopes this helps with anyone's decision on whether or not to watch it.P.S. Not every movie needs to be totally artsy or indie to be watchable.
The most-hyped Canadian film of the year, at the climax of which Jason Priestly pulls a used condom out of his own mouth.The kindest thing I've heard other people say is that it's "really a lot like American Pie" or whatever.Yeah, so much so that you can see (it's not too difficult) where they tried to amateurishly ape even those bad movies. You can have fun with your friends spotting all the ripped off jokes from other better bad movies, including (thanks Me, Myself, and Irene) a scene in which a young man gets sodomized by two fortysomething women. Seeing as they're, like, straight out of high school, I can only say:Man, statutory rape is a *gut-buster*!MuchMusic ought to be proud.Telefilm ought to sober up.Canadians should grab torches and pitchforks.Anyway.
