The Trip Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
When the film turns mawkish in the last reel, the tears are a welcome respite from the glib one-liners that substitute for character development in the first half.
Old School Reviews
John A. Nesbit
doesn't insult your intelligence or rely strictly on clich to gain a few knowing chuckles
Arizona Republic
Randy Cordova
Despite its flaws, it eventually gets under your skin and is sweetly moving.
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
The story's third-act detour into tragedy is predictable and unwelcome, providing a resolution that is too pat and familiar to be moving.
Des Moines Register
Jeffrey Bruner
It's ... drenched in melodrama, saddled with a forced plot and surrounded by so many character stereotypes that the film almost becomes self-parody.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
By the time it's over you'll be able to fill a bumper sticker with everything you've learned.
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
There are a couple of good aspects to "The Trip," particularly Steve Braun's performance, that will appeal to its niche audience.

Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone
Pack your sequined T-shirts, your favorite bell-bottoms, and a sturdy houseplant and get ready to take a sentimental trip with two guys who will first have you laughing and then shedding a tear or two.
Dallas Morning News
Charles Ealy
The screenplay has huge holes, character motivations are inexplicable, the tone switches from serious to loopy and back to serious, and the editing is choppy and uneven.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
The Trip almost dares you not to like it, even when its script heads in all the wrong directions.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Riddled with romantic and political cliches but is often redeemed by the charismatic performances of Braun and Sullivan.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
A journey well worth taking, encompassing a tender, wrenching love story set against an 11-year span of the gay rights movement, from 1973 to 1984.
Washington Post
Curt Fields
This is a trip where you will likely find yourself asking, 'Are we there yet?'
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
[Swain] takes too many cheap shots at paper-tiger antagonists, and settles for melodrama when quiet warmth would suffice.
San Francisco Chronicle
C.W. Nevius
It is never a good sign when the audience is two steps ahead of the characters on the screen. Waiting for them to catch up wears everyone out.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
This debut feature from Miles Swain boasts sincerity and good intentions that are consistently undermined by mediocre execution.
New York Post
Megan Lehmann
True romance stumbles.
New York Times
Dave Kehr
[The] film never departs from the straight-and -narrow technique of a television movie.
Village Voice
Dennis Lim
Compulsively horrible and full of unintentional poignant hilarity.
Boxoffice Magazine
Sheri Linden
For all the supposed rootedness in momentous events, public and private, nothing really happens in The Trip.
