DVD Movie Rating for: Eurotrip

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Movie Plot of: Eurotrip

No actual Europeans were harmed in the making of this film. The people who took audiences on a "Road Trip" and back to "Old School" now invite you on a wild "Eurotrip." Have you ever pressed "Send" on an email and immediately wished you could get it back? Scotty Thomas (Mechlowicz) and his Berlin-based computer pen pal Mieke (Boehrs) have been writing each other for years, sharing every detail of their lives. When Mieke makes a cyber pass at Scotty, he completely freaks out, thinking that this guy he’s known for years is coming on to him…in German no less. Too bad the the one detail Scotty doesn’t seem to know is that, in Germany, Mieke is a girl’s name. By the time Scotty figures out that Mieke is a girl, and a hot one at that, Mieke has cut off her email account and all contact with him. Thinking that this might be his one chance at true love—even though he’s never actually met the girl—Scotty and his best friends, Cooper (Pitts) and the twins Jenny (Michelle Trachtenberg) and Jamie (Wester), embark on a raucous trip across Europe headed for Berlin. Their trek takes them from London to Paris to Amsterdam and Eastern Europe, exposing them—literally—to every lascivious, larcenous and lecherous indulgence Europe has to offer, in a comedy that gives new meaning to the phrase "foreign relations.

Reviews of the movie: Eurotrip

Surprisingly witty and often hilarious in the first 2/3, this raunchy comedy about 4 teenagers backpacking through Europe unfortunately unravels a bit in the end.

Still worth seeing though, which is something I totally didn't expect. The 4 characters are (believe it or not) actually interesting and fun to spend the time with, and they are played by capable actors, with Jacob Pitts and Michelle Trachtenberg being especially impressive.

There are many, many laugh-out-loud moments, a good soundtrack (probably the most clever use of Sheena Easton's "Morning Train" ever) and several good lines.

But it just gets a little wearying in the end. Several scenes are overblown and frantic when it's clear a little subtlety would have been funnier.

Still, much, MUCH better than expected.

If you are under the age of 30, or at least young at heart, and have always loved movies like European Vacation and Airplane you will enjoy this movie!
I have seen it two times since the release. The simple plot is made up for in big laughs. The movie has smooth transitions and has many small but very memorable characters. For example, the very strange and peverted Italian man on the train is something I don't think will ever forget. "Mi scusi!"

Eurotrip, which appears to be disillusioned with how juvenile and teasing American notions of sex can be, celebrates its R-rating like a kid on his 21st birthday. It ups the physical-contact ante enough for you to forget that some of its writers are the nincompoops who loaded "The Cat in the Hat" with sex jokes.

A great advantage of this movie is that it introduces some new but really great actors. I see Scott Mechlowicz doing great roles in the future. Also, the Matt Damon cameo was interesting... I didn't even spot him the first time.

I don't wish to seem melodramatic, but Eurotrip is the most hilarious film I have ever seen. I only wish I could reserve a copy on Amazon right now!

The movie could've lived without the molesting Italian, and it would've been stronger with more than one fully developed female character. It even offers scores of male frontal nudes in a beach scene that turns into a riff on zombie movies. It's in keeping with the movie's cheerful homophobia and its sunny misogyny. Still, Eurotrip is sort of admirable: Unlike its peers, it's tired of talking about sex and is ready to have some.

The film Eurotrip opens on graduation day with high school senior Scott Thomas (Scott Mechlowicz) getting dumped by his girlfriend moments before his parents show up to congratulate him and save this momentous day on video. Feeling down and low, he almost decides to blow off the graduation kegger, but best friend Cooper (Jacob Pitts) persuades him to go, rather than stay home and email his German pen pal, "Mike".

The party is the typical crazy beer fest, and they meet up with "the worst twins ever", their friends Jenny (Michelle Trachtenburg) and Jamie (Travis Wester), who plan on going to Paris for the summer. Just when it looks like Scott may be able to loosen up and have some fun, he finds out that his now ex-girlfriend has been cheating on him with the lead singer of the band playing at the party--a pierced, tattooed, and shaved headed Matt Damon. The song that everyone rocks out to is pretty catchy and becomes a running gag throughout the film. Scott arrives home drunk and depressed, and to cap off the evening, his German pen pal "Mike" wants to fly to the states to meet him since he's now single. Scott figures his "friend" is not really a friend at all, but a sexual predator, and sends him a nasty email telling him to get lost. Hung over the next morning, he awakes to find his annoying little brother (Don't all these films have an annoying little brother or sister?) snooping through his emails. Little brother laughs at older bro's misfortunes, and adds that "Mike" is actually a female. Seems Scott had thought Mieke was a guy's name, a German version of Mike. He pulls out a photo Mieke had sent him of a dorky German guy and a hot blond. He thought Mieke was the dude. oops. Too late, he has now been blocked from her email, so he can't explain the misunderstanding. Cooper shows up and convinces him they should go to Berlin so Scott can apologize to Mieke in person, and Cooper can experience hot European sex.

They meet up with Jenny and Jamie and crisscross Europe trying to reach Berlin while comedy ensues. At one point they accidentally enter a pub that's the home for a bunch of Hooligans led by the bad ass himself, Vinnie Jones! There's also a hilarious scene involving SNL's Fred Armisen as an Italian guy who tries to molest them on a train. On the way out, I heard various people quoting his "Ex-scuse" line.

Nothing really new in this, but I found myself laughing throughout. I would say the teen sex comedy really got its start in the 80's with films like Zapped, Fast Times, or any other movie my friends and I would rent to see some naked women. Movies like Spring Break, Hardbodies, Private School, etc. In the 90's, the nudity seemed to disappear from these kinds of films. Eurotrip doesn't really go for the gross out moments of recent comedies like Road Trip, American Pie, or the Farrelly Brothers, but it does have A LOT of T & A! I am wondering if they will still be able to get an R rating with the amount of nudity that's in it, including a scene of a bunch of naked guys at a beach. The MPAA tends to frown at male frontal nudity, so what will they do when faced with 30+ dongs on the screen? Nothing's sacred in this either, from a little boy emulating Hitler to sex in a confessional. My least favorite scene took place in the Vatican, where things got a little too silly and predictable.

The four actors really bring the friends to life. These are people you wouldn't mind hanging out with, and they have great camaraderie. With the exception of Buffy's Michelle Trachtenburg, the other three are pretty unknown. Scott Mechlowicz plays it cool for the most part, which makes it even funnier when we see him get silly in a robot fight with a street performer outside the Louvre. DJ Qualls was the standout of Road Trip, and Jacob Pitts is the standout here. He is the wisecracking best friend, and his delivery of even the simplest lines would get laughs. If David Spade had a less smarmy brother, it would be this guy, with a dash of Ferris Bueller thrown in. At first, I didn't care for Travis Wester's uptight, almost nerdy, character of Jamie, but he slowly grew on me. Michelle Trachtenburg made me feel like a dirty old man when I watched her on Buffy, and now she is becoming a hot young woman, which they totally play up. This is the film that shows people she is no longer the little girl from Harriet the Spy. She is one of the few women who don't get nude in this, although we do see her in a bikini and a VERY sexy nightclub outfit....sigh...
