"Eurotrip" is a cheeky little sex farce that is far more endearing and amusing than it has any real right to be. Think of this as basically "International Pie," with four high school grads spending their final summer before college on a wild sex-capade through Europe.

Writers Alec Berg, David Mandel and Jeff Schaffer have penned a surprisingly clever screenplay, filled with ribald humor and irreverent, keen-eyed satire. As director, Shaffer keeps the energy level high and the tone so innocently upbeat that material that could easily have become sleazy and smarmy in less gifted hands becomes genuinely hilarious and utterly good-natured in his. Even when a particular scene or joke falls flat, there is always a clever zinger or ingenious comic concept coming right along behind it to keep the film moving steadily along on the right track. And some of the scenes are very funny indeed, with the film, as a whole, providing more hearty belly laughs than almost any comedy in recent memory. Those easily offended by nudity and a casual attitude towards sex may want to take a pass on this film, but the rest of us will find much to laugh at in this broad little romp.

As the New World quartet suddenly let loose on the unsuspecting Old World, Scott Mechlowicz, Jacob Pitts, Michelle Trachtenberg and Travis Wester deliver performances filled with unflagging energy and youthful high spirits. The fun these actors obviously had making the film is visible up there on the screen for all to see, making "Eurotrip," for all its potential crassness, a surprisingly upbeat movie experience.

One could easily damn "Eurotrip" with faint praise by calling it a "guilty pleasure." But that would be demeaning the people who put this very fun movie together. "Eurotrip" is a high-energy, thoroughly entertaining comedy in its own right, one that needs no backhanded compliments or half-hearted apologies to detract from its very genuine virtues.

If you're going to buy this dvd, make sure you buy it for the laughs and you wont be dissapointed. In the tradition of OldSchool, Eurotrip goes all out in a wild story of true friendship as a group of american teens help their friend find his true love. Tour Europe with this crazy quartet as they go from one impossible misadventure to another. Nudity, sex, and just plain wierd circumstance are bound to entertain you.

This unrated version of the movie contains excellent bonus material on DVD including an extensive director's commentary, deleted scenes, and a menu choice to view the nude scenes of the movie only. The movie is justly famous for the precision and clarity with which female breasts are photographed. According to the director's commentary, this unrated edition differs from the theatrical release in at least the graduation party hot-tub scene, where evidently in the theater the actress was not topless when Cooper jumps in the tub.

True to its genre as an example of kind of Jugendfahrenheitverbildungsroman, the film offers excellent glimples into middle americans attitudes towards europeans: England is exemplified by soccer hooligans and Paris is typified by a robot street performer. Only the introduction of a gay Italian seems to cut against accepted archtypes.

Eurotrip is a pretty good comedy that relies on stereotypes far too much, but in reality, what high school/teenager movie doesn't. Everything seems to be going great for high school senior, Scotty, as he graduates and prepares for his last summer before college. Things change when his girlfriend, Fiona, dumps him. In the breakup aftermath, Scotty tells off his German pen pal in a drunken stupor in an email only to discover that the pen pal is a hot German girl. Along with three friends, Scotty heads to Europe to win back his lost love. This is by no means a great movie, but still it has its moments. Lots of raunchy comedy as the quartet travels to London, Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin, and several other places. They run into soccer hooligans, violent robot mimes, French street thieves, and so much more. Don't take this movie seriously and you will probably enjoy it.

Scott Mechlowicz plays high school senior Scott Thomas who travels to Europe with three friends to find the German girl he unknowingly told off. Jacob Pitts is very funny as Scott's horny friend, Cooper Harris, who looks at the trip to Europe as a grand sexual oddysey. Michele Trachtenberg and Travis Wester play Jenny and Jamie, a pair of brother and sister twins. Jenny is the quiet, unassuming friend and Jamie has memorized a guidebook so he will not miss anything during the trip. Eurotrip has plenty of great cameos including Matt Damon as a punk rocker, Lucy Lawless as a sexual dominatrix Cooper meets in Amsterdam, Vinnie Jones as a Manchester United soccer hooligan, Jeffrey Tambor, Steve Hytner, Diedrich Bader, and Fred Armisen. Also starring are Kristen Kruek and Jessica Bohrs. The Unrated DVD offers widescreen presentation, audio commentary, a gag reel, and deleted scenes. For a funny movie with plenty of nudity and raunchy moments, check out Eurotrip!

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.

You might as well know right now, that Michelle Trachtenberg didn't appear topless in the unrated DVD version of the film, even in the nude beach scene. Too bad, though!!! She isn't
large breasted like a lot of silicone implanted actresses, and because of that, I think she's hotter than most of them, though.

I watched this movie for the first time a couple days ago and overall I enjoyed this movie. But some people need to realize that this movie is a COMEDY and is not intended to offend anyone.

The plot of this movie is pretty simple (and a tad bit cheezy at the same time). Scotty (Scott Mechlowicz) has just graduated from high school, and following the ceremony he is dumped by his girlfriend, Fiona (Kristin Kreuk). Meanwhile, Scotty also has a German pen pal named Mieke (Jessica Boehrs making her American debut), who had helped him with his German while in high school. Scotty thinks Mieke is a guy's name, and "he" is a gay guy who wants to come to America to meet him. But it is not until after he tells this person off that he finds out that Mieke is actually an amazingly hot blonde who has been "saving herself" just for him. So he gathers up his best friends Cooper Harris (Jacob Pitts), Jaime (Travis Wester), and Jenny (Michelle Trachtenberg, formerly in Harriet the Spy and Buffy the Vampire Slayer), and they all venture off to Europe with their own goals they want to accomplish. Scotty wants to find his true love, Mieke, Cooper wants to get some "European Sex," and Jenny and Jaime (who are twins, by the way) want to explore Europe to its fullest. They make several stops, including London, Paris, Amsterdam, Bratislava, and Berlin. Along the way, they get into lots of misadventures, such as meeting the Manchester United fan club, being stalked by a gay Italian on a train, going to a nude bench with 200 naked men (the movie could have definitely gone without this), Scotty "becoming the Pope," and much more. Most of the movie is pretty predictable. Scotty finds Mieke and they declare their love for eachother, (...).

The unrated version is essentially the same as the regular version, but it just has some extra features to go along with the movie. It also has an alternate ending, where Scotty finds Mieke and she rejects him. Also, there are some funny cameo appearances from Matt Damon, Lucy Lawless (Xena: Warrior Princess), and more. So with all things considered, if you liked movies such as Old School and the American Pie series, you will enjoy Eurotrip.

Not every movie is made to be great art. Some films are made to be escapes from the world for a little while. This is one of those pictures.
I watched this movie (unrated DVD edition) with moderate expectations and was blown away by the charcaters and the story flow. I really enjoyed it (though I have only watched it once so far) and plan to enjoy it again.

Note that there is a lot of nudity in this picture so it is not family friendly but if you can see it and enjoy silly movies then this one is for you.

Come along for the mis-adventures of Scotty & 3 of his friends, who decide to back-pack across Europe to find the woman of his dreams. If you enjoy a wild, care free,(and sometimes raunchy)Summer movie (even though it was released in February)you'll like this one. I'll have to admit, Eurotrip is DEFINATELY a guilty pleasure & may not be for everyone. Be forewarned....It's a movie about partying high school kids. Sex, drinking, loud music, sex......electric testicle clamps. WHAT???!!! Lol!

Eurotrip was filmed on location across Europe (great scenery), & has cameo appearances by Kristin Kreuk (Lana from Smallville), Matt Damon, Lucy Lawless (Xena), Fred Armisten (SNL), & one of those chicks from "Absolutely Fabulous."

...It's destined to become a classic in it's genre' of teen movies.

Although I can't say that this movie had all that of original plot (its kind of like Road Trip mixed with National Lampoon's European Vacation) it was definately funny. Four friends, Scott, Cooper and the twins Jenny and Jamie travel Europe bound for Berlin to find Scott's hot penpal Micah. During their trek they run into a bunch of soccer hooligans, get groped by an Italian train passenger, experiment with a number of substances, and have some unholy affairs in the Vatican.

Overall, this movie makes the viewer laugh at the expense of European stereotypes. If you are a fan of the American Pie movies or those of the party-sex movies (Animal House, Porky, Road Trip, etc.) then I would recommend giving this movie a glance. If you liked Road Trip, I think that you will find Eurotrip even funnier. Like most "unrated" DVDs that I have seen I can't saw that the unrated quality adds much to the movie. In terms of female nudity, breasts are numerous (as is expected of these kinds of movies) but there is a little more male nudity than one might expect. If you watch this movie, definately make sure to check out the extra features. Unlike most deleted scence, some of the deleted scenes in this movies are as funny as scenes that made the cut.
