Road Trip


The main character in the clip unknowingly sends his girlfriend (who lives 1800 miles away) a sex tape in which he and another woman are the stars. In order to retrieve the illicit tape, he and his friends go on a road trip with the hopes of intercepting the tape and then returning in time for him to take his final exams. Formula to keep in mind while watching a road trip movie: some sort of conflict in which the protagonist can only resolve by going on a road trip + friends who accompany the protagonist and inevitably pressure him/her into doing things he/she normally wouldn't do + minor conflicts such as the car blowing up, no money, crazy antagonist who will stop at nothing to make you fail + happy ending = an entertaining road trip. Overall, I believe that American culture sees a road trip as a the ultimate adventure. It is a time to act crazy (not crazy as in mentally insane) and expose yourself to world around you.
