EuroTrip Reviews |
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." [read review]  --Jack Mathews (New York Daily News)
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. [read review] 2.5/10 -- (CHUD.com)
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. [read review] -- (eFilmCritic.com)
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. [read review]  --James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
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. [read review] 7/10 --'JoBlo' (JoBlo.com)
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. [read review]  --Brian Gallagher (MovieWeb)
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. [read review] --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. [read review]  --Chris Barsanti (FilmCritic.com)
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. [read review]  --Gareth Von Kallenbach (Movie-Vault.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. [read review] B --Brian Orndorf (FilmJerk.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. [read review]  --Wade Major (Boxoffice Magazine)
''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. [read review] --Elvis Mitchell (The New York Times)
With its fresh cast, unapologetically lewd storyline and laugh-out-loud predicaments, Eurotrip makes for a delectably rare fun time at the movies. [read review]  --Guylaine Cadorette (Hollywood.com)
This teenagers-abroad comedy is full of randy high-school-boy humor that turns out to be -- surprise, surprise! -- kind of funny. [read review] --Stephanie Zacharek (Salon)
Still, "Eurotrip" is sort of admirable: Unlike its peers, it's tired of talking about sex and is ready to have some. [read review]  -- (Boston Globe)
“Eurotrip” is one of the stupidest films I have seen in a long time. And so what? “Eurotrip” was funny. [read review] -- (FilmThreat.com)
Although packing lightly story-wise, the jokes travel reasonably well in this harmless teen comedy. [read review] --Michael Rechtshaffen (Hollywod Reporter)
“Brilliant” would be overstating it, but Eurotrip is a heck of a lot of fun. [read review] 75/100 --Brian Webster (Apollo Guide)
There were a lot of things to hate. Mostly, I hated to see it go. [read review]  --B. Alan Orange III (MovieWeb)
Mindless perverted fun chock full of guilty pleasures. [read review]  --Derek May (MovieWeb)
