the leading man is my tpye
The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Invited to meet the President of the United States, a group of high school seniors try to make the bus trip as exciting as possible, much to the anguish of their easily irate principal, in this lively comedy starring Jeremy Renner long before his Oscar nomination for 'The Hurt Locker'. The film is weighed down by heavily stereotyped characters (geek, slob, smart girl, prissy young teacher, etc) and at least a third of the gags backfire, but the ones that work are very, very funny thanks to great comic timing from all concerned. Matt Frewer is particularly energetic as the stuffy principal and Lawrence Dane is perfectly vile as a corrupt senator, while Tommy Chong is a lot of fun playing pretty much himself as the bus driver. There is also a wonderfully uncanny subplot involving a 'Star Trek' fanatic who believes that he has a mission to stop the bus arriving at its destination. The film additionally features two hilarious fake movies: one, a 1950s style film about contraception; the other, a pornographic version of 'Forrest Gump'! Oddly enough, the film does not really offer any real ideas regarding the future of education given that the students are traveling to Washington to discuss such matters, but this is a bubbly comedy first and foremost and an enjoyable one at that with Frewer even nicely learning how to bond with his students along the way.
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.
Before i watched this movie i thought that it would suck but this movie turned out to be good and the movies about how some high school students are in detention and they write a letter to the President about what is wrong with the education system and the President reads it and he likes it and then he asks them to come to Washington to met him.There are some funny scenes in this movie like how one of the students farts in front of a fire setting some one on fire and all of the party scenes.This movie stars actors and actress like Matt Frewer,Lawrence Dane,Tara Strong,Valerie Mahaffey,Tommy Chong and Sergio Di Zio.Over all this movie was good and my rating is 6 out of 10.
