Plot summary

Greg is near the end of his senior year in high school, wanting to go to the prom, eyeing Cinny (the school's beauty with brains) from afar, and regularly trippin', daydreaming about being a big success as a poet, a student, a lover. His mom wants him to apply to colleges, but Greg hasn't a clue. One of his teachers, Mr. Shapic, tries to inspire him, too. He finally figures out he can get close to Cinny if he asks her for help with college applications. But friendship isn't enough, he wants romance and a prom date. So, he tells a few lies and, for awhile, it seems to be working. Then, things fall apart and Greg has to figure out how to put the trippin aside and get real.

Hilarious!

This is one of my favourite comedies even though it is a little more low budget than most. I enjoyed it because of the hilarious characters in the movie like the grandfather, and Greg himself, also Greg's daydreaming scenes are hilarious. I found it to have a realistic portrayal of African American families,unlike some movies and tv shows that display black families differently and wrongly. This is another reason why I enjoyed the movie, I could relate to a lot of the characters in the movie and everybody was simple and down to earth. I will never get tired of watching this movie, it is great. It is not a comedy for everyone, that's for sure. To really enjoy this movie you would probably have to be able to relate to the characters, if not you won't find the humour in it. For a low budget movie, it is really funny!

Not Enough Laughs

I had heard good things being said about 'Trippin' back in it's day - how funny it was - but only now have I got around to seeing it. Being greeted by a likable but lazy slacker for a main character and a formula boy/girl high school get 'em to the prom romance I could have dealt with ... but where is the laughs? You can imagine my disappointment. I thought this was going to be a undiscovered gem thru word of mouth.

Greg 'G' (Deon Richmond) would love nothing else than to cap things off with Cinny (Maia Campbell) a pretty girl at school before graduation. The problem is he doesn't have the confidence and can't put in the effort. It's a big problem in his life. Spending too much time daydreaming. He's been slacking on mailing in college applications too. When his smooth talking friend June (Donald Faison) who sells stolen goods becomes the target of some drug pushers who want him to join their ranks things get even more complicated.

This flick is kinda all over the map. It wants to be funny, a PSA for black teens to choose a successful path while dealing in young romance and tales of the street. All of that would be fine if the movie could accomplish it's comedy elements on a steady basic which it doesn't. Richmond makes for a fine lead, but the story is content to waste time on side characters, cliches.

The blow that hurt the most was the dream sequences. I hoped 'Trippin' riffing on popular movies would be hilarious, but they consistently weren't. A beautiful girl trying to convince him to go to Minnesota for higher learning by getting topless transitioning to him licking cooked eggs at the dinner table back in reality was the sole highlight.
