Road trips with friends that are longer than two hours will require on-screen entertainment. It’s a rule. It’s also unfair for the driver, who can’t enjoy the feature film premiering for the last two rows of seats, but that’s a price to pay for everyone’s sanity.
When there are six or more adults in one vehicle, try not to take yourselves too seriously. Put on an outdated comedy that everyone knows and hasn’t seen in a while, pass the snacks, and don’t laugh too hard because there is someone trying to drive. We’ve gathered just a few of our 1990s and 2000s favorites. And we mean that when we say “just a few.” This list could be five times as long, but we won’t subject you to our deepest cuts.
Fun Games for Road Trips
Tommy Boy
Chris Farley’s genius was cut tragically short, but the actor’s intensity and physical slapstick shines while involving a genuine plot to save a struggling family business.
Dumb and Dumber
What’s the most annoying sound in the world? Perhaps it’s hearing Jeff Daniels, an established serious actor, stoop to bowel movement jokes in this perverted buddy comedy. It’s worth every minute.
Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle
The title is self-explanatory, the actors are refreshingly not part of regular Hollywood circles, and the humor is childish. Perfect.
Soul Plane
Kevin Hart would like everyone to forget he was the star of this movie, which was an even more outrageous take on the 1980s Airplane! movies. You have to be in a Snoop Dogg mood before watching, let’s just say that.
Bridesmaids
While most buddy comedies with lewd and gross behavior feature men, Bridesmaids proves that women can be just as vulgar—and go even harder on the gags.
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
Will Ferrell’s juvenile absurdity works in both promoting and poking fun at NASCAR. If it weren’t for Sacha Baron Cohen and John C. Reilly starring alongside, it could easily be a documentary.Â
Legally Blonde
Pick an early 2000s movie that’s a two-hour referendum of every 2000s stereotype, and you’ll have yourself a merry old time watching something like Legally Blonde.
Portable DVD Player
Speaking of early 2000s, did you know you can still buy a portable DVD player? In case your car doesn’t have one, you’ll need a cheap little device like this to enjoy old-school optical films.
