The First Road Trip with Tom Green, Seann William Scott, Amy Smart, and DJ Qualls was hilarious.  This is why I had my hopes high for Road Trip: Beer Pong. DJ Qualls is the only one back and he is relegated into a narrator role for this installment.

Beer Pong is about Andy (Preston Jones), Korkin (Michael Trotter), Jake (Nestor Aaron Absera), and Arash (Danny Pudi) and their road trip to the beer bong national finals.  But before going there, they had to make a side trip to see Andy’s ex-fling Jenna (Julia Levy-Boeken) without telling his current girlfriend Katy (Julianna Guill).

I watched Crank: High Voltage while waiting to board my plane and I must say that the movie made time fly by so fast in a good way.  If you enjoyed the first Crank then you’ll definitely love this one as well. Jason Statham is back as Chev Chelios.

Also back for the second time around are Dwight Yoakam as Doc Miles and Amy Smart as Eve Lydon.  Efren Ramirez is also back but this time he’s playing the role of the brother of his Crank 1 character.  If you haven’t seen the first Crank movie, I suggest that you watch that first before even thinking of seeing High Voltage.  It will save you from being clueless about from the first movie.

The combination of Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott resulted into a fun and entertaining movie.  In Role Models, Rudd and Scott play Danny and Wheeler.  They are two energy drink spokespersons who got into trouble after Danny’s break up with his girlfriend (Elizabeth Banks).  It’s either jail or community service for them.  They picked the latter.

Community service means spending some time with troubled kids.  Danny is teamed up with Augie (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), someone who likes role-playing games and seems lost in Middle Earth.  Wheeler gets the foul-mouthed Ronnie (Boob’e J. Thompson).

I don’t know why I still watched this Van Wilder prequel after the disastrous Rise of Taj.  Van Wilder: Freshman Year has Jonathan Bennett playing the lead role but right from the start you’ll know that he’s no Ryan Reynolds.

Just like what the title suggests, Freshman Year shows us how Van started his long academic career in Coolidge College.  Things have changed since his father graduated from Coolidge when it used to be the number one party college.  But now its student body is sexually oppressed and partying is taboo in the campus.

I had high hopes for Baby on Board because it stars Heather Graham and Jerry O’Connell.  It is about a couple, Angela and Curtis (Graham and O’Connell), doing well in their respective careers but everything’s awry when she finds out she’s pregnant.

Baby on Board tried to make a mature issue as having a baby into something funny with juvenile jokes and it didn’t work at all.  I feel bad for Graham and O’Connell, as well as the supporting cast which includes John Corbett and Lara Flynn Boyle.

I remember the time when every Star Wars fan is anticipating for the release of Episode 1.  Fanboys achieved to capture that moment in time and that makes it different from the rest of the road trip movies.

It’s about four friends Eric (Sam Huntington), Linus (Chris Marquette), Hutch (Dan Fogler), and Windows (Jay Baruchel).  They planned to go to Skywalker Ranch to steal a copy of Episode 1 before it was to be released.

Lesbian Vampire Killers has lesbians, vampires, lesbian vampires, and vampire killers.  With that fact, don’t expect it to be a serious horror movie.  It is a fun movie that stars James Corden, Mathew Horne, and MyAnna Buring.  And did I mention that it featured sexy lesbian vampires?

I was anticipating a low budget movie but Lesbian Vampire Killers had good camera work and effects that is comparable with most Hollywood movies.  It has a good mix of dry humor and slapstick that is effective in eliciting laughter from its audience.
