Trippin' Reviews
This movie is 4sho a classic, for the people who love a good AA comedy. This movie is the one, it never gets old.
Remember little Kenny from Cosby Show? (And between Bill and Raven Symoné, Kenny might be the only untainted memory left from that series.) Several years later, actor Deion Richmond was all grown up and looking to make a splash as the lead in a vaguely adult coming-of-age comedy. Objectively, Trippin' is terrible, but it's also a cult classic that shoulda been, as a likeable Richmond riffs his way through one horndog/would-be hero daydream sequence after another as a way of putting off the looming reality of college. Bouyed by the ageless Donald Faison, Trippin' has one foot in Kid 'N Play-style '90s farce and the other one firmly forward into a Smiley Face, stream-of-consciousness stoner paean
The charismatic Deon Richmond plays a high school senior and major daydreamer Gregory "G" Reed who is your typical loser. His fantasy life takes up too much time to accomplish the tasks at hand, despite the constant goading of his friends and family. He daydreams of a rap-video lifestyle in which bikini clad sex kittens, wealth and high style are his. But upon waking, G faces a less appealing reality --- his middle-class, hard-working parents nag him to fill out college applications, his part-time job at a rib joint is a drag, and nobody wants to be his prom date especially the gorgeous, brainy and popular Cinny (Maia Campbell), who hardly notices him until he solicits her help in applying to colleges. However, with things looking up, G lets his flights of fancy get the best of him. Not only does he lie to Cinny about being accepted into UCLA, he also boasts publicly about the nature of their relationship. Needless to say, she isn't happy when his fibbing is revealed. In between trying to satisfy his parents, earn the affection of his beloved and avoid the neighborhood drug dealer (Stony Jackson), G may not survive his senior year.
The movie is a classic for a reason. Straight funny and relatable. Who hasn't tripped once in their life. Whenever this is on I either watch it or DVR it because it's just that good
Who hasn't ever daydreamed? This movie was just as funny as I remembered. Haven't seen it for years, but I laughed just as hard. It was funny to watch "Bud" from the Cosby show. Classic. If you don't watch it, "I will kick you butt from lacrosse the street." (one of the classic lines)
Amusing at parts. A guy keeps dreaming of a better life... but then wakes up ... and is cold and alone.
A little known film starring Donald Faison aka Turk from scrubs. Its sh*tty before you ask, there is like no plot. Theres just some kids who want this girl but he daydreams too much hnce the title 'trippin'. There are some funny moments but in the end it just feels pointless, it has nothing substantial to say or show. It's very immature in its attitude to sex which tells me its aimed at virgins who still aint hit dat pumpkin pie.
I would like to see this movie again. I thought it was really funny. I love the title. I tried to get people to see this with me when it was playing in the movie theatres, but sadly I couldn't convince anyone. You know, I can honestly tell you that sometimes I feel like I am Trippin' as well.
