Sex Trip

Comedies like this is hard to rate. It's a bad movie, technically, acting-wise and in many other aspects. But it's funny, no denying that. After all, isn't that what comedies are about?

You would think a comedy like this would appeal only to Americans, but you are wrong. I know Germans, Aussies, Swedes and Hollanders who like this movie. I'm sure there are Brits, Italians, Eastern Europeans and Balkans who like it as well. You have to be able to laugh at yourself.

What the movie is about is a bunch of typical teens going for a little quest through Europe in search of the dream girl. Nothing new here. The misadventures on the way, the xenophobic jokes and stereotypes and odd characters are what you laugh at. Vinnie Jones as a crazy ManU supporter, Rade Serbedzija as a Bratislavian truck driver, and many other not that well- known actors doing silly and memorable roles.

Some scenes work, some don't. Some are really funny, like the robot battle outside the Louvren, and the Italian pervert smoking a post-sex cigarette. Matt Damon turns up somewhat unexpectedly in the USA and sings the catchy "Scotty doesn't know" song.

All in all, this is a great comedy to watch with your friends, and even better in international company.

For so many years I've been thinking, WHY did they have to travel to Europe to meet Mika in person?

Mika blocked Scotty's email address, but he could've just made a new one, email her back and apologize. The end, movie would've been over in 15 minutes LMAO.

Anyways, back then I was in high school when I started watching this and I wanted to try to live like them, so I traveled to Europe to "have fun" during my university years, however, I was hit with a harsh reality that nobody wants to be with a broke male college student, so I ended up just disappointed. Might sue the movie producers later idk.

I saw this film on opening night in the new theater here in town. Though there weren't many people at the showing, the folks that were there constantly had things to laugh at. If there were an Oscars for single scenes the robot dance/fight scene would take the prize in the comedy category hands down. There were many other laugh out loud scenes in movie, including English soccer hooligans, a strange Italian train passenger, and some papal city shenanigans that were very funny. Over all I gave this film a rating of a 6.5/10, which I rounded to a 7 because it made me laugh.

First off this movie is definitely not for families. There are some scenes that some might not like or depending may find offensive but I found this movie funny, even today it still makes me laugh.

It's no academy award winner but no one is asking it to be. It's a funny, at times raunchy comedy that knows what it is and delivers that comic escape from a world that lately has gone insane quite well.

Unlike the typical movie goer, reviewers are acutely aware that films WHICH MAY SEEM UNREMARKABLE at the time of release can improve, like wine, with age.

This film is possibly the best teen comedy of the era.

That the cast is likable and works well together is a given.

What makes Eurotrip stand out are "set pieces" which stick in your mind decades later.

In my case, the ringing of the bell in the Vatican followed by the "white smoke" routine is unforgettable. But there are other gems here too.

Highly recommended.
