Like others have said before me, this movie follows the route of Road Trip, American Pie, previous National Lampoon movies plus a dash of Overnight Delivery. The characters followed a stock formula: the Nice Good Guy, the Goofball/Nerd, the Arrogant... Full review

After having watched American Pie: Bandcamp, this is a rather refreshing take on the teen-movie road-trip genre. Sure, I spotted parallels to Harold & Kumar, Roadtrip, etc., but this movie was different. Maybe it was because the acting was fresh... Full review

NATIONAL LAMPOON'S GOING THE DISTANCE delivers what you'd expect from a NL movie, that being sex, drugs, horny teens and a predictable plot. That said, it is not a bad movie but it's not exactley good. The part where the... Full review

It used to be that having National Lampoon in the title meant comedy gold. Two of the greatest comedies of all time, ANIMAL HOUSE and VACATION carried the National Lampoon banner. Throughout the 90s, National Lampoon continued to lend its... Full review

I was really pleased with this film -- sure, it's teen sex-comedy pap, but at least the actors are respectable, the dialogue believable and the scenery terrific. As the genre goes, it's right up there with the rest, and in... Full review

Jam! Movies
Going The Distance is pretty stupid, often quite funny, and has a catchy-tunes a'plenty sort of soundtrack.
