Another American Pie style teenage comedy movie. How many more generic, comedy-barren movies can producers afford to make? I mean do these actually turn a solid profit that demands they keep being produced? Hey, there's an "Unrated" version - surprise surprise!

As was said previously, the Hitler kid was the drat funniest thing in the entire movie. The plot sucked, the actors sucked (though the lead guy looks like a young Brad Pitt and might have a good career ahead of him if he can find some better scripts), and the humor was weak at best.

I also can't believe Vinnie Jones has sunk to taking scripts like this to play a half-arsed Football Hooligan. I felt embarrased FOR him.

1.5/5



update: btw, clearly MANC is short for MANCHESTER and WANK is short for WANKER. It does make sense, stupid as it is.

This movie is for people who love to watch stupid comedies. I am one of those people, and found the movie very hilarious. It lives off of stereotypes, and does so fairly well. If you're the type of person who can't enjoy a "stupid" movie then you shouldn't watch.

I saw a gay porno once. I didn't know until halfway through.. THE GIRLS NEVER CAME! THE GIRLS NEVER CAME!

Voted 4.5/5 (Deduct a half point for the completely random re-appearance of the soccer hooligans and the beachful of sausage)

I didn't have high hopes for the movie but viewed it with an open mind, nonetheless. I honestly think the only time I laughed was when the main character (Scott, I think?) imagined the sex between his pen pal and her nerdy friend, and that was because said friend, in the heat of the moment, pushed off her computer, monitor, etc on the floor. I thought that was random and funny, and undoubtedly unintentional. Other than that, unlikeable characters (the creators of this movie apparently don't understand you're always supposed to LIKE the sidekick of the main character, not hope he dies violently), jokes that went for mere shock over actual humor (HAY GUYZ THROUGH WACKY HIJINX IM NOW THE POPE LOL), and the fact they tried to cram in too much of European countries just to fulfill some throw-away joke quota.

I loving love this movie, and I have no idea why. Everything just seems funny to me, and the characters all seem so likeable. I ran out and got the DVD the day after it came out, and I almost never buy movies.
This is my feeling completely. Some of it, I know it's incredibly stupid but it's still laughable. I need to buy it myself. And come on, people. Scotty Doesn't Know at least should give it a 1.5.

This movie is for middle-schoolers who fart on each other.

WHY THIS MOVIE GETS 5/5

-Scotty doesn't know!

-For guys, b00bs.

-For girls, the Sausage Festival.

-Lucy Lawless and the Word.

-Mr. Excuze, the Friendly Train Passenger.

-GO MAN U!

-The Son of Hitler.

-Incest.

-The music that I'll just dub Bratislava's Anthem, which plays when the team lands in Bratislava.

-Miami Vice.

-In the end, the geek scores. (Although the Main Protagonist gets a cheap win by default.)

-Obviously, most of you folks left the theatre early, because there is some cool stuff in the credits, mainly outtakes and a couple of really cool skits.

-I'm sure there're a couple more highlights, but I think I've listed enough to merit a high score owing to the fact that no one could possibly have expected a masterpiece of storytelling and acting from Eurotrip. That said, this movie is a sign from God compared to the soul suck that's Scary Movie 3.

WHY THIS MOVIE DOESN'T GET 5.5:

-Although I find that Dawn has a very pretty face, she sure is incredibly scrawny. Irrefutable proof when she takes off her shirt. SLAYER'S YOUNGER SISTER NEEDS FOOD BADLY.

-While the movie has many good gags, there's a lot of plain unfunny filler from one point to the next. It could have been a vastly shorter movie, so I guess it's the fault of the writers for not having enough good gags.

One - You lock the target
Funniest film I've seen in a while.

Highlights include:

Hitler Kid
The oh-so-catchy "Scottie doesn't know" song.
The strange laser guided, triple-headed dildo thing.
"Email MOTHERFUCKER"
Bratislava.

Sure there were bits that were bad ('sup Vinnie Jones) but on the whole it's definetely worth seeing with a couple of friends for some hilarious hijinks.

Ok, so it isn't the latest elitist art house opening. That doesn't mean it is poo poo. It is an enjoyable movie if you get off your high horse and let yourself laugh at overt stereotypes and low humor. You must be a humorless gently caress if you can't find something to laugh at in this movie. 3/5

The first thing I thought after watching this movie was, "I'm glad I'm not the one that rented this movie." As many have said already, this movie just was not funny. There were a few things that got a few laughs out of me (Hitler kid), but most of the movie I just sat there asking myself, "Why?"

Instead of actual comedy, the movie was just filled with horribly executed and repetitive gags. The man on the train is an example of this. Before anything ever happened you already knew what was going to happen. Then it happened again and again. Then again later in the movie. The dancing robot wasn't bad, but it dragged on a little longer than it should have. Also, the sidekick's "You're a girl?" anytime something had to do with the female character being female was just very tired, even the first time.

Everything just felt too forced to me. "Hey guys, we should get some titties in the beginning of the movie. Have any ideas?" "Yeah, how about the guy tells the girl to take her top off and she's dumb and does it!" "Wow, you should get a promotion!" Another example is when Scottie is having a conversation with the driver about Berlin. "blah blah, I can't go back to Berlin, I did this, and that, and sexually assaulted a horse!"

The movie was basically a rehash of jokes from previous movies or attempts at jokes that were too forced and just fell flat.

I give this movie a 1. I love comedies, even goofy pointless ones like this movie attempts to be, but this movie was just terribly unfunny.

I cant belive the same guys who made Road Trip made that. Road Trip actually seems so humble and genuine compared to this. It makes me sad that they try so hard to be funny with these childish jokes, and un-funny steryotypes. I had a feeling it'd be that way after seeing those repetive advertisements, trying to milk all the sex.

I could not stand this movie, so half-way through, I just started fast fowarding to all obligitory boobie scenes that this movie relys on.


1.5 - I chuckled a few times, and that German girl is HAWT!

first of all, i did not decide to watch this movie. I was at a friends house, and they were watching it. I very seldom laughed, and was mostly in disbelief of how stupid it was. The jokes are mostly cliches, and the guy who is the "comic relief", hardly does his job. 1.5.

I loved Old School and paid $20 for this poo poo on the assumption it would be as good.

This movie is no Old School.

I enjoyed this movie much more than I thought I would. Lots of awesome boobs, lots of funny, albeit stupid poo poo, and a good time. And like many movies that change location frequently, it works like a long series of sketches, and is therefore easy to watch repeatedly.

Great movie.

This movie features subpar acting, a plot full of holes like why the stupid loving kid doesnt just make a new email address to tell the german chick hes retarted, gross euro penis, and various ripped off scenes from every other teen sex comedy. It did however feature a hilarious opening sequence, gratuitous boobs, "bullet tooth tony", and a few solid laughs.

I thought this movie was a bunch of "I like teh secks europe has that let's write a movie about two or three things we heard about europe and absinthe and potty humor." It seems like it was written by kids in high school. Overall, few laughs, but lots of nudity. Holy poo poo there was a lot of nudity in this.

Rent it, but remember you won't see Harriet the Spy's titties in it. Maybe she'll show them on this season of Six Feet Under.

I found the funniest part of the film to be the openin credits over the aircraft safety drill. Besides that (and of course the fitness of the German Chick) I found the film to be a complete waste of time, "Scuzi Scuzi!"

How the hell the people behind road trip n old skool could put their names to this is lame - i thought road trip was great and old skool not bad but this.... well all that has to be said is save urself time n money n go watch anything else than this (yes even something like charlotte's web)

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
This movie was the last comedy out that I've seen that I really enjoyed. It really had me cracking up. It had a lot of the typical teenage comedy staples, but it also managed to have some original gags, which is pretty rare these days. It's not Hitchock, but if you take the movie for what it's meant to be, it's great.

The cat problem in the park is Malthusian in scope, Randy.
I'm surprised that everybody seems to hate this movie, I found it quite funny. I think the key is to not take the plot seriously in the least, because it really is FULL of holes (for instance, wouldn't Scotty just register a new email address rather than go to Europe?) But past that, there are some really funny parts- the robo-dance-battle was hilarious, the truck driver and Bratislava, the soccer hooligans (LET'S GIVE THIS NANCY A FUCKIN GOOD KICKIN!) who were only made funnier by the fact that they were so blatantly stereotypical. I thought the character of Cooper was awesome too, and well-acted.
"Cooper, Mike's a girl."
"No no, I get it, he's the girl, you're the girl, sometimes... you're both the girl? Right? Right? ... That's hot."

Downside- "Scotty Doesn't Know" became an actual popular song, and some of the girls I hang around with picked it up and sing it a lot, and that's loving irritating. Not that it's really a bad song, but just because it came off a movie. The french guy in the train, that was a little idiotic and I didn't find it as funny as everybody else I watched it with. And the pope thing, yeah that was retarded.

Voted 4.5/5

I found this movie very enjoyable. It's not particularly innovative, it's certainly not a masterpiece, it's just an entertaining movie that kept me laughing throughout. You can tell the actors had fun making it, and that always shines through in a positive way, even if the rest of the movie isn't up to par. I also liked Cooper (I forget the actor's name already) even though I didn't know we needed another David Spade.

Gonna give it a 4, if only because I've been so generous with my ratings lately and I ought to start saving the higher numbers for movies that really deserve them.

There's no denying this movie is a teen sex comedy, and it revels in the genre and doesn't make any attempt to rise above it. With that being said, it's a particularly good example of a teen sex comedy. Requires you to turn your brain off a little to enjoy, but once you do so, it's one of the better teen comedies to come out recently.

Wow the film school elitists set their sights on Eurotrip. Check your sophistication and snobby behavior at the door, because this is a decent fun flick.

I found this movie to be fun as well as funny. The hooligans driving in France were hilarious.

The only parts I didn't like about this movie were the plot holes. Wait, scratch that I don't watch idiot-comedies and then complain about the PLOT. That must be someone else.

If you want a good night of fun with friends, or hell maybe by yourself, this is definitly a good movie. Don't expect too much, and for christ's sake, leave the elitism at the door please, this movie isn't made for you.

Hmm. Something's Not Right Here.
The plot was definetly lacking - there is no doubt about that. However, I absolutely loved the part when they were in the pope's chambers. This coupled with the hot tub scene, the scene in russia, and scotty doesn't know makes this movie more than watchable.

In short, this movie is funny but lacks any type of depth
