Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

christopher-underwood Ten years on from my original review of this film I find I have to replace my comments with a new and more appreciative piece. Seem I was unimpressed with Fonda's performance, unappreciative of the score and trigger happy with the 'fast forward' button throughout. Well, either I was watching very late at night or the Blu-Ray print is such an improvement. Maybe both. Fonda is fine, he is a little stilted now and again but he is tripping indoors with a very sober (and effective) Bruce Dern or outdoors amidst 'ordinary' folks of LA. Bit like being naked whilst everyone else is clothed. Talking about clothes or lack of them, the sex scenes are very well done indeed, not an area I would have considered Corman a great exponent, plus the club scenes with partially naked dancers are also excellent. It is true that it might have been more appropriate for the entire score to be full on psychedelic but they probably couldn't afford it and it may have been a bit too much. As it is the music starts fairly low key but builds well and without becoming overpowering well compliments all those crazy visuals. All in all a fine 'time capsule' and most effective capture of a moment in time, namely the year 1967.

gavin6942 Paul Groves (Peter Fonda), a television commercial director, is in the midst of a personality crisis. His wife Sally (Susan Strasberg) has left him and he seeks the help of his friend John (Bruce Dern), a self-styled guru who's an advocate of LSD.The film was directed by Corman, written by Jack Nicholson, starring Bruce Dern with a beard, Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper. How can that be bad? The biggest problem is that the plot is relatively weak and relies heavily on some wild kaleidoscopic visuals. That may not be a problem -- I mean, there are still great actors and a dwarf -- but it is a noticeable flaw.

Clay Loomis This is a rather odd movie, which is understandable to anyone who has taken hallucinogens. There is no way to explain an LSD, Magic Mushroom, or Peyote trip to anyone who has not had one. Words do not suffice. Pictures do not suffice. How do you explain seeing sound, or smelling colors? You can't.This movie gives it a try and does the best it can, but to all those that see it and have never been tripping, I'm sure it looks like a painting done by a monkey. You just can't put these thoughts on film. Example: One time, in the mid-70's, I took acid with a group of friends. All of a sudden a purple tornado came out of the ceiling and ravaged the room, sucking the emotional content out of everyone there. Now just how do you display that on film? Nicholson, Corman, Fonda, Hopper, and company give it a shot, but it really can't be done. Not then, not now, with all the digital effects available. Valiant effort though, but probably only entertaining to people who know what frying means.

Brian T. Whitlock (GOWBTW) Roger Corman did very well with this "drug film". "The Trip" makes very good sense. Jack Nicholson did an excellent job as a writer for this film as well. Peter Fonda plays Paul, an TV commercial director who has some issues to come with. His wife(Susan Strausberg) is divorcing him because she is downright unfaithful. He would later meet with John(Bruce Dern) who would help him cope, with LSD. Once he has taken it, Paul's world would never be the same. He wouldn't touch anything else when he was at Max's(Dennis Hopper) pad. The tripping out was so intense, he would see things he could never imagine. The strange characters consists of a dwarf, hooded characters, a cackling witch, and women in all sorts. Along with the different strobes of lights, the acts of sex comes to play as well. The wife and other women is so intentionally bold, who would want to think of anything else. Tripping out was big in the 1960's, was also the scariest , Paul would imagine he has found John dead in which he wasn't. He would also think the police was after him following the entry of the little girl's house or the incident at the laundromat. At the end of the trip, he would find himself happy with another woman. What more could you ask for? Going out can exhilarating, but most can get a little overboard, this is indeed far out! 4 out of 5 stars
