National Lampoon's Senior Trip (1995)

National Lampoon's Senior Trip (1995)

The first time I heard about this film is when I saw the film's theatrical trailer on my VHS tape of THE MASK: The Animated series when I was seven years old and I’ve been wanting to see it ever since, and I finally did at age 18 and I thought it was Laugh out loud funny. The actors who played the high school misfits and slackers, such as Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker, S.W.A.T.) in his feature film debut as the drug addicted underachiever Mark ‘Dags’ D’Agastino, Eric 'Sparky' Edwards (Problem Child 2, Sgt. Bilko) as the overweight slob Miosky, and Tara Strong (who plays the voices of Dill Pickles in RUGRATS and Timmy Turner in THE FAIRLY ODDPARENTS) as the provocative and promiscuous Carla Morgan were great. However, I thought Michael Blake who plays the death obsessed Herbert Jones was kind of creepy, and Kay Tremblay as Moss’s assistant Mrs. Winston was annoying. Matt Frewer (Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, Watchmen), whose performance as the nerdy and unassertive high school principal Moss was hysterical and I liked him in this movie. I’m not a fan of Tommy Chong, who plays the constantly stoned, drug addict bus driver Red, but I thought he was all right. And let’s not forget Kevin McDonald's performance as the idiosyncratic, STAR TREK fanatic Travis was both creepy and very funny. This one of the funniest comedies I’ve ever seen and when you see it, you'll laugh your ass off. I guarantee it!
