My Movie Time

Gross and Fun College Tradition

Plot:

Cheating is when you’re in a committed relationship and have sex with another person. It’s not cheating if you live in different area codes, if you are too wasted to remember it, or if you are with two people at the same time because they cancel each other out. But it is definitely cheating if you videotape it and mails the tape to your girlfriend.

This is what happens to Josh Parker (Breckin Meyer), who have been together with Tiffany (Rachel Blanchard) since they were kids. He then accidentally sent the sex tape of him with college friend, Beth (Amy Smart), to Tiffany. Josh must now drag two college buddies, and one not-so-eager-kid who happens to own the car, on a raucous 1800-mile road trip from Ithaca, New York to Austin, Texas to save his lifelong romance.
