As subtle as a pit-bull rally but not quite as sensitive, Eurotrip at least delivers the trash.

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
The film is often shallow and predictable. But it's not painfully stupid in a Just Married kind of way.
It's not even as funny as National Lampoon's European Vacation, the worst of the four Chevy Chase films.
The movie is completely, flagrantly irresponsible, and probably offensive, although it's the kind of Anti-PC movie that gets laughs not by being tasteless, but by piling about 10 levels of irony on top of the idea of tastelessness.
If you're of a certain age -- and even if you're too young to remember Animal House or Kentucky Fried Movie -- you'll laugh and laugh and laugh. And hate yourself for it.
Eurotrip is quite possibly the single most artless gross-out comedy I have ever seen.
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 gives the funny bone one of its best and most rigorous workouts in quite a while, proving that bad taste can be good fun if you leave your brain and sophistication in the parking lot.
Eurotrip is a trifle, and it's definitely not for younger audiences. But the actors clearly have fun, and that can be pretty contagious.
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.
If you didn't know better -- and if such things were even possible with a film like this -- you'd swear the filmmakers and cast of EuroTrip were simply making things up as they went along.
It'll have you laughing so hard you may injure yourself. I'd trade all of the American Pies for Eurotrip.
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.
I'd have sworn I'd never laugh again at somebody assaulting a mime, but this goofy comedy makes even that ancient concept fresh.
The tone and pacing are all over the map, yielding only two or three genuinely funny moments, all of them cameo-driven.
