Trippin' Reviews
Intermittently funny and good-natured, Trippin' won't disappoint its target audience.
| Jul 28, 2014
A disjointed, lowbrow comedy about a teen coping with his uncertain future through daydreams.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 28, 2014
The messages, in other words, are mixed -- which makes them pretty much consistent with the perspective of a hormone-driven 17-year-old boy. Viewed in that context, Trippin' doesn't fall quite so far.

Swirl together a pious message movie, a silly high-school yuck-fest and a raunchy, booty-shaking comedy, and this picture is the infelicitous result.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 28, 2014
As the credits roll into oblivion, James Thurber's ghost puts out his cigarette. There's another movie he could've written!
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 28, 2014
Some funny moments and the likeability of Richmond's character make it a tolerable way to pass time, despite the fact (aside from Richmond's fantasies) we've seen everything here many times before.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 28, 2014
An after-school special posing as Booty Call, stumbling badly over its clunky message-movie scripting.
| Jul 28, 2014
There are stray sparks of satiric wildness shooting out from this preachy teen message movie.
| Original Score: C | Sep 7, 2011
As formulaic as it sounds.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 15, 2009
This recklessly constructed mix of social messages, sexual fantasies and street profanity certainly won't be accused of trying to preach to the choir.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 7, 2008
The pliant-featured Richmond is an agreeable, comically adept lead.

The star's winning smile is the only redeeming quality of this atrocious, predictable teen comedy.
| Original Score: 1/4 | May 14, 2003
| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 25, 2003
The teen comedy 'Trippin' features a clever technique, but it's trapped inside a stock premise that was exhausted years ago. At best, it would make a nice pilot for a 온라인카지노추천 sitcom.
| Nov 6, 2002
What might have been funny and endearing is instead just more self-inflicted negative stereotypes and marginalizing images.
| Jun 5, 2002
| Original Score: D | Apr 3, 2002
A few of the daydream sequences are uproarious, but Trippin' tries to get real too late in the game.

If you want to see an entertaining black high school movie, rent House Party or Cooley High, both funny and intelligent takes on the subject. I'm sure they both took more than a week to write.

As it is, Trippin' is serviceable as an undemanding date movie.
