Reviews

Python Hyena Going the Distance (2004): Dir: Mark Griffiths / Cast: Christopher Jacot, Joanne Kelly, Shawn Roberts, Ryan Belleville, Jason Priestley: With Avril Lavigne making a cameo the studio hopes to lure in the teens that make up most of her fan base. Unfortunately they fail to mention the content that features jokes about oral sex and location shots in strip clubs. It is a trashy teen comedy about goals as our young lead treks to Toronto in an R.V. to propose to his girlfriend who is attending the Much Music Video Awards with a sleazy producer. His parents dislike the girl so they hire someone to prevent them from hitting their destination. Along the way they pick up two female hitchhikers who just happen to be singers. How convenient that must be. Standard road movie descends into a series of vulgar situations. Director Mark Griffiths does his best and features fine footage of the video awards with celebrity cameos. Cast of unknowns include Christopher Jacot, Joanne Kelly, Shawn Roberts, and Ryan Belleville who are cast as the basic teen movie stereotypes of little brains. Jason Priestley even makes a desperate cameo taking the stage and allowing his career to slowly die within this shame. Everything save for the video award show has been done before in movies every bit as bad as this one. Viewers should go the distance to place this pointless vulgar mess in the trash. Score: 3 / 10

kyle-loves-brooke First of all I'd just like to say that this isn't the greatest movie of all time but it is an entertaining movie, especially for a Canadian movie. But I'm not here to review it. I just read jellyneckr 's review and felt the need to respond. Maybe it's a Canadian/American thing but there must have been a few differences between the movie there and here. First of all in Canada, Going the Distance was released in theaters so it's not a straight to DVD movie. And I don't know if it was just the only way the movie could be released in America or what but it's not a true National Lampoon movie. In fact in the movie's Canadian release on DVD it doesn't even have the National Lampoon banner on it. Maybe there were too many Canadian jokes or something but I actually found this movie to be quite entertaining. I guess the humor was lost on Americans.

vegitenksx2000 i loved this movie. it wasn't the best thing i have ever seen but it was pretty damn good. i mean it had all the things a NL movie should have. I'm not gonna say it was grate because of the sex, and nude scenes although they were a plus. this movie was all in all enjoyable. i gave it an 8 out of 10 because of its cheesy predictable plot. and the fact that they didn't have sum 41 in the much music awards scene really turned me off a little. OK and BTW sorry to get off topic but how would you know that sum 41 is "fake punk" i bet you wouldn't know punk if vicious himself crawled out of his grave and beat you over the head with a shovel.

craig smecher I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone but if you like movies like American Pie (and I mean all of them 2 and 3 were pretty hurtin) then you'd definitely like this movie. I think this movie is as good as the American Pie sequels and they both rate a 6.3 so I think this movie deserves better then a 5.2. I rated it a 7 but that's probably due in part to the fact that this is a Candian film. I don't think it is a bad thing for the Canadian film industry to be making commercial films like this one. Every film that comes out of canada doesn't have to be an art film. Even though I love Canadian art films. Only a diverse Canadian film industry can grow. So go watch it and expect a lot of dick and fart jokes.
