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 relations." From The Montecito Picture Company, "Eurotrip" was directed by first-timer Jeff Schaffer from a screenplay that he co-wrote with his longtime writing partners Alec Berg and David Mandel. The trio most recently adapted Dr. Seuss’ "The Cat in the Hat." Daniel Goldberg ("Old School"), Jackie Marcus, Alec Berg and David Mandel are producing the film, with Ivan Reitman ("Ghostbusters"), Tom Pollock ("Road Trip") and Joe Medjuck ("Old School") serving as executive producers. The film stars Scott Mechlowicz ("Neverland"), Michelle Trachtenberg (TV’s "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"), Jacob Pitts ("K-19: The Widowmaker") and Travis Wester ("Teddy Bear’s Picnic"). [More]

Reviews for Eurotrip
A woefully dumb picaresque that doubles as an inventory of stale stereotypes.
Just when you begin to wonder if it's ever going to get funny, or if it's going to be merely desperate all the way through, it lifts off like a wobbly helicopter -- and somehow it keeps flying.
The movie misses most of what is truly funny and compelling about the universal Western European adventure.
Should be toe-tagged and shoved into the deepest and coldest of video vaults.
You'll find plenty of dirty jokes and sexual innuendo, bathroom humor and nudity. But mixed with the sleaze is the unexpected and occasionally inspired.
As subtle as a pit-bull rally but not quite as sensitive, Eurotrip at least delivers the trash.
Eurotrip doesn't try to reinvent the sex comedy wheel. It simply wants to shock you into hysterics, and more often than not, it sublimely succeeds.
A lazy and uninspired knock-off of the hilarious 2002 movie Road Trip.
Eurotrip has no provocative central characters, an absolute must for a gross-out teen comedy.
Road Trip was one of the more entertaining of the post-American Pie gross-out comedies, but all Eurotrip really has in common with it is a producer and the requisite amount of semi-naked babes.
It takes only 89 minutes for four American high school graduates to travel across Europe, but it's a little too long for the number of laughs Eurotrip generates.
Sex comedies need two obvious ingredients: sex and comedy. Eurotrip has some of the former but almost none of the latter.
Even with the low expectations engendered by the movie's title and Euro antecedents the film fails to reach even modest levels of real humor.
