With a movie like this you know exactly what to expect and that is exactly what you are going to get. Some raunchy and gross and stupid jokes.This movie was pretty fun to watch when that is what you want to see. I really loved some of the characters they had in the show and I was pleasantly surprised that I ended up enjoying this TV movie and laughing at so much of it, pretty much I enjoyed the movie and jokes all the way through.It's not like most National Lampoons movies now which have gotten really bad it's almost as funny as the old stuff they did back when the brand name was really respected and funny.

I should say that "Senior Trip" is mostly one of the silly comedies that they released in the 1990s (of course, it was intended as such). I guess that on one level, it has an important lesson about paying attention to what happens in the government. In my opinion, the best parts were some of the briefer things: the guy chasing the bus, J. Edgar Hoover's grave*, the porno movie in the hotel room, and the epilogues. Otherwise, this isn't the sort of movie that you'd go out of your way to watch. Although I have to admit, Matt Frewer (who turns 50 today) and Tommy Chong play great characters.*The student was right: J. Edgar Hoover was a fascist. You may have heard the news that just recently came out that Hoover wanted to round up large numbers of Americans in 1950.

I really wanted to like this movie, but I could only come up for 3 reasons to suggest anyone else endure this movie. Tommy Chong, Tara Strong and Nicole de Boer. Quite frankly, Chong isn't enough of a reason since he can be seen in better form in a dozen other choices and de Boer is a minor player at best. You are better off watching the last few seasons of Deep Space Nine to be mesmerized by Nicole. So that leaves us with Tara. Yes, Tara is enough of a reason to watch this movie... once. Only because it is the only movie in existence that she is in as a physical entity. If you don't know Tara is the voice behind 100s of cartoon characters you probably watch with your kids. The movie has a few funny moments, but they are rare and limited. Tara on the other hand is absolutely gorgeous.

Rating 4.5/5I can't really explain why this film wasn't more successful. I can't help but think it was in part due to the "National Lampoon's" pre-fix that they chose to include. The film centers around Dags & Reggie, two lovable stoners who, after thrashing the principals house, are put on detention with the rest* of the party-goers.... They write an essay to the president, and he sends for them to make a journey to washington to talk to senate about their concerns with education. From the start of the journey, the film comes into its own, and becomes genuinely funnier than most of its ilk. Stand out performances included Tommy Chong as Red the bus driver, Kevin McDonald (of Kids In The Hall fame) as the traffic crossing guard, and Jeremy Renner as Dags. The cast works well together, the only weakness perhaps being Reggie (Rob Moore) whose part oft comes off as over-acted and under-talented, though the plot moves at a nice pace, the jokes come thick and fast (and with a surprising level of subtlety too). A great film to pull out if you and some friends are planning an evening of inebriation and fancy a few good laughs.*(I should really point out right here there were a bunch of people in the party footage that never ended up on the washington trip)
