Profile of Eurotrip

The mood of Eurotrip is humorous and exciting. The plot centers around a situation where nothing goes right, buddies, and disorder. It features a comedy of errors and grossout humor. Eurotrip is a comedy movie. Stylistically, it has a road movie structure. In approach, it is not serious and realistic. Eurotrip takes place, at least partly, on a train. The setting is Amsterdam, Belgium, and Italy. It happens in contemporary times. The musical score of Eurotrip is rock. It is especially suggested for a date night, teens, and a boys' night. Note that it includes drugs/alcohol, nudity, and sexual content.

Summary of Eurotrip

Poor Scott (Scott Mechlowicz) finds out his girlfriend is cheating on him and then thinks his European pen-pal Mike is trying to start a homosexual affair via e-mail. Once he realizes Mike is actually Mieke, a beautiful German girl, he and his buddy Cooper (Jacob Pitts) take off for Europe on a madcap quest to find her, discovering plenty of raunchy sex along the way. Hooking up with nerdy Jamie (Travis Wester) and his twin sister (Michelle Trachtenberg), they bond with soccer thugs in London, battle mimes in France, eat brownies in Amsterdam, guzzle absinthe in a European dance club, and generally raise mayhem. Gags include a grope-happy train passenger, a child impersonating Hitler, and some near incest. Matt Damon cameos as the punk rocker who belts out the hit song "Scottie Doesn't Know." Lucy Lawless (XENA) is a dominatrix in an Amsterdam sex club. The laughs are well earned and there's plenty of nudity and sex to satisfy the demanding audience for films of this sort (it's directed and produced by the team behind OLD SCHOOL and ROAD TRIP). Best of all are the performances from the four leads, who eschew the usual over-the-top mugging in favor of a more low-key approach to the material.

Critics Reviews

The Hollywood Reporter
Although a number of the gags fall flatter than a crepe, the accent is on the charmingly juvenile as opposed to the purely puerile, with a fresh-faced cast of amiable young performers on hand to make the trek relatively painless.

Works if you just give yourself over to its exuberant silliness.

My wife and were crying from laughing so hard. We lived in Europe for 3 years, so I don't know if that made a difference. We even knew this Italian guy who owned a resturant who would kiss all the women who came in. We're going to buy a copy of this...
