Trippin' is a 1999 American comedy film directed by David Raynr and starring Deon Richmond, Maia Campbell, Donald Faison, and Guy Torry. The film provided one of Anthony Anderson's earliest film roles.

Plot

Greg (Deon Richmond) is nearing the end of his high school days as graduation slowly approaches. He is also anxiously awaiting prom and has the hopes of going with Cinny (Maia Campbell), the school's local beauty. As he tries to ask his parents for help paying for prom, they begin nagging him after finding out he hasn’t filled out one college application, telling him they won’t give a dime until he fills one out. Along with these wants, Greg is also an avid daydreamer and is always daydreaming ("trippin'") over everything.

Cast

Production notes

Trippin' was filmed on location in California in the city of Los Angeles in 1998. Narbonne High School in Harbor City was used for most of the film's school shots. Harbor City in Los Angeles was also a location used for filming as some of the film's scenes take place on the RMS Queen Mary. The working title of the film while it was in production was G's Trippin, but this was later shortened to its before release.

Reception

Trippin' was poorly received by critics. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 18% of 28 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 4.4/10. The website's consensus reads: "Trippin' struggles to balance its raunchy teen comedy elements against an unfortunate tendency towards preachy moralizing."[3]

The film made $2,527,909 its opening weekend and grossed a total of $9,017,070 during its theatrical run.[1]

Release

Trippin' was released during the start of the summer movie season of 1999. It was released in a limited number of theaters compared to the summer blockbusters released around the same time. The film did well enough to crack the top ten in gross receipts during its first few weeks of release.
