 | For anyone who loved the inane teen comedies ROAD TRIP or AMERICAN PIE here comes EUROTRIP, a movie that succeeds in actually insulting a large portion of Europe, but gets you so lost in its sense of fun that you can overlook its lack of diplomatic tact.
Graduating from high school Scott seems to have it all, at least he has an incredible looking girlfriend (played in a cameo by SMALLVILLE's Kristin Kreuk). But there he is getting dumped by said girlfriend on the day of graduation and (adding insult to injury) finding out through the lyrics of a rock song (shades of BOYS AND GIRLS here) that she has been cheating on him.
Retreating home bruised from this encounter with reality Scott relates his woes to his German penpal - a guy we are told is named Mike.
The response comes back flirtatious and spurred on by his best friends homophobic comments Scott insults his transatlantic friend. Its only when he realizes (thanks to his younger brother who seems to know better German than he does) that Mike is actually Mieke and a girl (and girl in the hot shape of Jessica Boehrs at that) that Scott resolves that he must win her at all costs.
So there he goes with friend in tow to Europe. Stopping first in London they come into contact and in an unlikely turn of events befriend a group of English soccer hooligans (led by the always fun to watch Vince Vaughn). Making their way across the continent (in a manner which would have made the Griswolds proud) they team up with their vacationing High School friends (which include the BUFFY's Michelle Trachtenberg) before Scott can finally confess his true feelings to Mieke.
If comedies are rated by how much you actually laugh then EUROTRIP certainly scored with me. Perhaps I was in just a funny mood, but I found moments of the movie to be side splittingly funny. The movie takes some getting started, but once it hits Europe and we are into definite culture clash territory (ala CROCODILE DUNDEE and WHAT A GIRL WANTS) then the laughs come thick and fast. |

| After seeing so many unfunny movies from the 'Comedy" Section of my local Video Store it is always a true Joy and Delight for me to watch a very funny movie such as this one. The plot involves a misunderstanding between College Student Scott and his German penpal Mike who he thinks is a guy. Mike invites himself over to the States to "go out to dinner " with Scott and Scott then blows him off thinking that Mike is some sort of pervert. What he doesn't realize until the next morning that Mike is actually a Girl ( pronounced Mi-Ka In German!!!). Then Scott and his buddies head off to Europe to try to make amends. These guys are hilarious wether they are talking to a girl in a hot tub, fighting with a French Robot, trying to get their film developed and even when they are invading the Vatican. There is a priceless scene where they try to hitch a ride with a truck driver to Berlin. Lucy Lawless steals the show as a Dutch Dominatrix and she can chain me to my bed anytime although I am really not into that sort of thing. This movie rocks so do yourself a big favour and see it . |

| This is about highschool grads who go to Europe to find a girl in Germany who whats-his-face has been talking to on the internet for a while and thought was a man, but finds out she was the babe of his dreams after she told him she wanted to come to the states to get to know him and he told her, think it was a guy to get lost.
Well, I dunno why he wouldnt have used a voice on messenger or webcam, but i guess it's needed for the plot. So he realises shes a she and he wants her and she has blocked his e-mail. So instead of using as different e-mail to send to her to explain, him and his David Spade wanna-be friend go to Europe to find her.
They meet up with some more friends and have a tough time going through Europe. The things they get up to.
Ups: The confession booth scene is funny.
Downs: Bonus materials arnt worth looking at, the gag reel isnt funny, the deleted scenes where deleted for a good reason and the featurettes are average.
The movies OK, but nothing speciel. It really needed something that made it really stick out to have been really notable. Like the pie-scene of American Pie or the kissing scene of Not Another Teen Movie. But this movie is along the same lines of those kind of films. It does try to make a scene like those, but there just not so much funny as seen as trying too hard.
I dunno what the Unrated sticker on the cover is supposed to mean. I didnt see anything that I wouldnt just slap an R rating on. Unless it's the part where 200 naked men are running down the beach?
This comedy is ok for a rental. I dont think I wanna see it again soon. it's not original, youve seen this kinda thing before, but it's ok if ya got nothing better to watch. but dont get your hopes up, it's average. |
