Directed by: Jeff Schaffer
Starring: Scott Mechlowicz, Jacob Pitts

At a glance: Eurotrip is from the guys who did Road Trip and Old School. It's not really a sequel to Road Trip, it's more of a variation of it.

Summary: After Scotty graduates from high school, his girlfriend Fiona dumps him because "he's so predictable." He cries about it on camera! After his friend Cooper and his little brother laugh at him about it, they convince him to forget Fiona and go to the graduation party, where (surprise, surprise), Scotty finds out that Fiona has been cheating, through song no less! That night, Scotty got an e-mail from his German pen-pal asking him if he wanted to "arrange a meeting." He gets disgusted because Cooper warned him before about the "internet perverts" that try to rape people. The next day, he finds out his pen pal "Micah" is actually a female! It turns out she was the cute girl in the picture that was sent to him...and that was after he sent a threatening e-mail back telling her to "keep your hands off my genitals and never contact me again!"

Meanwhile, back in Berlin, Micah reads the e-mail, and blocks Scotty.

Cooper suggested that they go to Berlin to find Micah. They become couriers and fly to England because there's nothing in Berlin for a week. Cooper just goes along so he can experience kinky European sex! So they travel all around Europe, from England, to Paris (where they meet up with fellow graduates, and twins, Jenny and Jamie, who accompany them for the trip), to Crans Sur Mer (a nude beach), to Amsterdam (where they get robbed), Bratislava (Eastern Europe), and finally, Berlin.

Best feature: The shenanigans in Amsterdam, the Robo-Mime battle in Paris, the crazy trucker they hitch a ride with, Bratislava is poor and stuck in the 80's, Jenny and Jamie make out with each other (they're brother and sister.)

Worst feature: When the Manchester United fans in England ask Scotty and Cooper to sing the Manchester United theme song, Scotty does the worst ad-libbing (he sang "My Baby Takes the Morning Train," and it turns into a cheer) and it's apparently the right song.

Spoiler: Scotty learns that Micah is on a tour group that is going to Rome, and the gang doesn't have any money. Jamie sells something valuable, so they all go to Rome. They pretend to be a tour group and get into the Vatican, but Jamie was asked to be a guide for another tour group because one of their English guides is sick. Scotty and Cooper look around for Micah. They accidentally ring the bell that notifies that the Pope is dead, and the people of Rome mourn. Cooper then puts on the Pope's hat and pretends to be the Pope, and sets it on fire. This fire produces smoke, which signals that they elected a new Pope. Scotty spots Micah. He's got the Pope hat on. He goes out to try and talk to Micah, but gets caught in the curtain, and the people of Rome think he's the new Pope. Meanwhile, the REAL Pope is watching it on TV. Scotty then takes off the Pope's clothes and gets to the ground by sliding down the carpet on the wall. The guards inform him that he and his "retarded" friend Cooper are in big trouble. Then, the Manchester United fans come and save them. Scotty then comes up to Micah to tell her that he came all this way to tell her he loves her. They have sex in a confessional. An old woman comes in to confess and accidentally gets mooned by Micah. Jamie gets hired to be a tour guide at various museums in Europe. Cooper gets a new office and a raise. On the plane, Cooper makes out with Jenny. Back in America, Scotty decides to major in German, and Cooper and Jenny are dating. Scotty's new roommate is Micah. They make out. THE END.

Rating: 4/5. It's no Road Trip, but it's worth at least a rent.

It's time to restore dignity to the Farnsworth name!

I would put this between Road Trip and Old School, with Road Trip being the worst of the three.

The pen pal's name is Meike (pronounce Mee-kah) but Scotty thinks it's pronounced "Mikey". He thinks his pen pal is a guy, and is obviously disgusted when he gets hit on. He is further confused by the picture he was sent, featuring a guy and a very hot girl. He thinks the girl's name is Jan (as in Janet) when it's, obviously, the guy (Yon). Scotty isn't very bright for a guy who speaks fluent German.

I haven't laughed so hard at a film in quite awhile. In fact, I think Elf was the last movie that made me laugh like this one did.

If you need more convincing, here you go. David Hasselhoff. Singing. In German. And a French mime getting kicked in the nuts.

Mr. Brown? That sounds too much like Mr. Shit.
Asides from the catchiness of the "Scotty doesn't know" song I thought this movie was horrible. Seemed like someone took all of the jokes cut from other teen movies and put them into this movie.

A robot mime dance fight? dressing up as the pope jokes? s&m? not funny

only thing that made this movie at all watchable was Michelle Trachtenberg's cleavage.

Voted 3 because it's worth a couple of chuckles.

This is one of the only movies I've ever really considered walking out on. It was so bad that it made me want to be violent. The french guy in the train was painfully unfunny and the wannabe Monty Python interludes sucked oh so hard.

You and me both, buddy. If I hadn't been there with 5 other friends, I would have walked out.

The train part made me laugh, but the robot part made me embarassed to be of the same species as the movie writer and director.

Terrible is the only adjective to describe this movie. Where to begin, ah lets start with the acting. Don't actors have to attend certain schools or classes before they land hollwood roles? The acting in this movie, especally by Jason Pitts is a cinematic atrocity. Speaking of Jason Pitts his role as cooper comes off as a second-rate stiffler who itself was a terrible character to begin with. And the gags, each gag induced more groans than laughter. Gags including :The robot, train, absinte, Pope and especally the kid brother as Hitler were terrible, unfunny and cause to leave the theater immedatly.
Thankfully John Q. Popcorn saw through this tripe and the movie was a box office disaster stateside.

This film truly deserves a 1/5.

That doesn't even make sense.
Nice tits though on the German bird and there were some other quite amusing scenes, especially the truck driver and the nudist beach.

This movie sucked hard. Aside from the humour that was based entirely on lovely stereotypes, it pissed me off by giving all the characters undeserved and inexplicable happy endings. It's bullshit because the screenwriters make the assumption that I care what happens to these stupid assholes, and I don't. They're hooks to hang unfunny jokes on.

It's not that bad but for about 40% of the scenes you'll be rolling your eyes. Still, its stupidity saves it, and there are some huge laughs (at least there were for me). I laughed much more at Eurotrip than I expected to, which probably puts it up higher than it should be. It's stupid, filled with plot holes, but when it's not doing the generic sex-teen-comedy poo poo it's actually pretty absurd and funny. Simply put,

Robot Dance wars + Scotty Doesn't Know song + Hitler kid = 4/5

I agree, that song was great, and the robot dance, even though other people have complained about it, I loved. I don't know, though, I was watching the movie with a bunch of people who loved it and wasn't of completely sound mind.

Have I seen better? Yes, definetely.
Have I seen worse? Yes, I have as well.

It has a few good jokes, but lots of flat ones as well. At least it seems to know this and doesn't take itself seriously at all. I didnt like robot mime, but I did like the creepy train guy. I also can listen to a half hour of hooligan swearing, which is more than most people can take, I imagine.

Typical teen comedy fare. 2.6/5

I thought this movie was Okay. I really was expecting more T&A and just plain funny, but it was mostly an average movie. Scotty Doesn't Know and some of the stuff in Holland was great though. I really liked when the guy got mugged while he was getting head. Also Dawn was pretty good.

Gave it a 3/5. Thought it was ok, the beginning song was pretty funny. The overuse of some phrases got old. But there were some hot ladies in it, worth seeing it for that alone (Yeah immature but whatcha gonna do?)
Not worth a theater trip, but worth a rental to laugh at it.

4/5

I truly did enjoy this movie. Perhaps I just saw it when I was in a particularly good mindset, but I liked it enough to buy the unrated DVD of this movie. I must say, the unrated version adds a lot to the movie. Another thing I must say, is that the music is freakishly addicting. I still can't get the Scotty Doesn't Know song out of my head.

I thought this was a typical American "teen movie" but with that thought, came the thought that this was the best "teen" movie I've seen. The ending I thought was rather dumb as hell, but the rest of the movie kept me laughing steadily.

Scotty doesn't know that Fiona and me... That was a great song. It's by Lustra. The name of it is.. Scotty doesn't know. (obviously)

This was one of those silly comedies that are really fun to watch because you really don't know what's going to happen next. Some of my favorite scenes were the Manchester United "fans".. and when they were trying to figure out what they could get with a dollar and like eighty cents. Hilarious stuff.

The Italian pervert on the train was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Apart from that the movie was predictable, dragged on too long, had some completely unfunny and stupid scenes (hitler boy and the pope section) and was fairly boring.

2/5 + 1 point for Italian Pervert man = 3/5 Mi scuzi.

Loved the movie. I couldn't stop laughing through it. The soccer hooligans were a riot to watch while they were driving through France insulting everyone. The Hitler kid was beyond comedy in itself. The guy getting a 5 cent tip nearly broke my gut. 'I quit! I'm buying MY OWN hotel! *slap*' .. Man was this movie classic. Better than road trip, and didn't have long boring parts that Old School had.

I'm giving it a 4.

I really enjoyed this movie. Caught it at the dollar theater with Orb Kaftan and her sister. I really enoyed the soccer hooligans, the Eastern European hotel, Amsterdam, and the man on the train.

Oddly enough, I thought the Hitler Kid scene was a bit drawn out. Could've stood shortening.

I couldn't stand this movie. The only laugh I got out of it was the Hitler kid. Otherwise, it was just a steaming pile of poo poo, especially David Spade Jr., I didn't like any of the characters, and by the end I was hoping the German chick would tell Scotty to gently caress off and just be generally creeped out that he wandered all the gently caress over Europe because he assumed she wanted to gently caress him.
