Tagline: No actual Europeans were harmed in the making of this film.
Plot: Have you ever pressed "Send" on an email and immediately wished you could get it back? Scotty Thomas (Scott Mechlowicz) and his Berlin-based computer pen pal Mieke (Jessica 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 (Jacob Pitts) and the twins Jenny (Michelle Trachtenberg) and Jamie (Travis 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

Certainly, the comedy is in the sophomoric vein of "Road Trip" and "Old School," episodic quest-for-sex movies about young people - guys, mainly - driven to get drunk and hoping to get lucky. But these journeys are only as funny as the writing, and the script for "Eurotrip," while rated R for raunchy, doesn't engage many more brain cells than last year's reviled "Cat in the Hat."  --Jack Mathews (New York Daily News)
Although packing lightly story-wise, the jokes travel reasonably well in this harmless teen comedy.--Michael Rechtshaffen (Hollywod Reporter)
With its fresh cast, unapologetically lewd storyline and laugh-out-loud predicaments, Eurotrip makes for a delectably rare fun time at the movies.  --Guylaine Cadorette (Hollywood.com)
''Eurotrip'' has the overripe, anything-for-a-laugh spirit -- and I mean anything -- of the drive-in circuit parodies that Mr. Reitman got his start with.--Elvis Mitchell (The New York Times)
The problem isn't that it spends 90 minutes marinating in lewdness and bad taste - those things are mandatory for this kind of movie - but that so many of the desperate jabs at humor fail to find their mark. Sex comedies need two obvious ingredients: sexand comedy. Eurotrip has some of the former but almost none of the latter.  --James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
I myself could not remember a film that had made me laugh as much as this one did, as while the jokes are very over the top and crude they are often well timed and very easy to laugh at.  --Gareth Von Kallenbach (Movie-Vault.com)
Like most films in this increasingly tired genre, "Eurotrip" strings together an uneven series of broad gags and raunchy sketches under the guise of a plot.  --Wade Major (Boxoffice Magazine)
This teenagers-abroad comedy is full of randy high-school-boy humor that turns out to be -- surprise, surprise! -- kind of funny.--Stephanie Zacharek (Salon)
Though nothing really says "breakout performance," the mostly unknown cast acquits itself winningly and with comedic skill. It helps that the comedy, while outrageous, vulgar, crude and sexual, is not of the gross-out variety. The focus is on sex and drinking, not defecation and vomiting.-- (eFilmCritic.com)
“Eurotrip” is one of the stupidest films I have seen in a long time. And so what? “Eurotrip” was funny.-- (FilmThreat.com)
There is nothing unpredictable in the movie which, sadly, means that even when they're trying to be "extreme" in their humor - such as a scene where they accidentally set the Pope's hat on fire in his chambers - it falls pretty flat. That's not to say there are no laughs in the movie, it's just to say you can count them on your fingers. 2.5/10-- (CHUD.com)
Still, "Eurotrip" is sort of admirable: Unlike its peers, it's tired of talking about sex and is ready to have some.  -- (Boston Globe)
The only interesting thing about "Eurotrip" is that it helps you appreciate not just how good Todd Phillips' "Road Trip" was, but why that movie (or equivalents like the first "American Pie") worked so well.--Jonathan Foreman (New York Post)
Eurotrip has one of the worst trailers of the year and easily provides three times the laughs. And you know, any movie where a dream love scene is scored by a David Hasselhoff song deserves your attention.  --Chris Barsanti (FilmCritic.com)

It's juvenile, it's loud, it's loaded with profanity, drinking, drugs, sex, nudity...basically, everything you ever wanted in your teen movie...and more! It's really simple stuff and just like many of my conquests in bed...flies by in an instant. 7/10--'JoBlo' (JoBlo.com)
Movies like “Eurotrip” aren’t defined by filmmaking skills, but by the laugh quotient, and I was knee-slapping about 70% of the time. That’s a good number these days. B--Brian Orndorf (FilmJerk.com)
There were a lot of things to hate. Mostly, I hated to see it go.  --B. Alan Orange III (MovieWeb)
Mindless perverted fun chock full of guilty pleasures.  --Derek May (MovieWeb)
A lot of people will be searching high and low for reasons to dislike this movie. I know, because I did the same thing. But you can look all you want and all you'll find is that this is actually a solid, entertaining movie.  --Brian Gallagher (MovieWeb)
“Brilliant” would be overstating it, but Eurotrip is a heck of a lot of fun. 75/100--Brian Webster (Apollo Guide)
