Nick is a successful young man whose comfortable West Coast life couldn't be better. However, when his girlfriend falls under the influence of lecherous music producer Lenny Swackhammer, Nick impulsively decides to travel to Toronto to intervene. Nick's buddies Tyler and Dime opt to turn the quest into a cross-country road trip that's complete with wacky antics and encounters with beautiful women.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Wow, who'd thought it. An underground film that has a pop star in it is an advertisement to lameness. Fortunately, this one is the exception.The story and the casting here are very similar to "American Pie", but better written. Despite some predictable scenes like the two old girls in the bar, the film is most of the time surprising and we don't know what's gonna happen next. These boys face lots of situations that are possible (and funny), like the naughty girl daughter of the farmer. That scene was hilarious, a la Scary Movie.Thumbs up for Shawn Roberts and Mayko Nguyen who really do their best to get in this film's mood. And congratulations for the writer - I really found the plot very entertaining.

i loved this movie. it wasn't the best thing i have ever seen but it was pretty damn good. i mean it had all the things a NL movie should have. I'm not gonna say it was grate because of the sex, and nude scenes although they were a plus. this movie was all in all enjoyable. i gave it an 8 out of 10 because of its cheesy predictable plot. and the fact that they didn't have sum 41 in the much music awards scene really turned me off a little. OK and BTW sorry to get off topic but how would you know that sum 41 is "fake punk" i bet you wouldn't know punk if vicious himself crawled out of his grave and beat you over the head with a shovel.

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 farmers daughter performs a explicit act on Dime at the dinner table and then moves on over to the girl is hilarious, the scene with Dime clicking pictures of the girl bathing nude in a lake (wtf was her name?) and then falling into the water and continuing to take pictures of her is not. And if you've ever wanted to see Jason Preistly pull a condom out of his mouth, then this is the movie for you. I rate it a 5 because I'm stuck in the middle when it comes to this one. There's plenty to like and dislike. That said, I can't tell you to watch it but I can't tell you not to either. I hope this isn't confusing. It's your call on this one.

Canada's answer to the road trip movie is akin to 1989's "The Wizard", but instead of hawking Nintendo and it's apparel, this film has a hard-on for MuchMusic (the Canadian equivalent of MTV) Directed by the dreaded Mark Griffiths of "Hardbodies" movies infamy, this alleged 'comedy' revolving around guy chasing after his girl who's at the MuchMusic awards isn't funny in the least. Seems Canada has lost th recipe for the funny. The days of "Porky's", "Strange Brew", and "SCTV" all over my north of the border friends.PS: It's not called homage to out-right lift gags from far superior movies.My Grade: F
