Summary
Reviewers say 'EuroTrip' is a teen comedy with crude humor and stereotypes, offering both laughs and criticism. Its over-the-top scenarios and celebrity cameos are praised, yet it faces backlash for cultural insensitivity and shallow depth. Comparisons to 'American Pie' yield mixed results. The film’s pacing and script receive varied feedback, balancing fun with simplicity against accusations of lacking sophistication.
Featured reviews
This movie is hilarious & a must see for those who like American Pie, Scary Movie, Senseless & similar types of comedies. Eurotrip uses almost every single cliché or stereotype regarding Europe & exaggerates it enormously in an unbelievably funny way.
Surprisingly the acting, which is done mainly by unknown actors & actresses, is very good. As for Michelle Trachtenberg, she is just plain awesome. Her acting deserves real praise. Plus, the film features several pretty successful cameo appearances. Lucy Lawless as S&M dominatrix is particularly hilarious.
Though the story itself can't be considered particularly original, the movie is interesting, cause of unstoppable flow of hilarious jokes. The theater was almost torn down with the viewers' laughter, when I watched the film. The scene with The Pope is an instant classic in my point of view, I haven't seen something this hilarious since the first Scary Movie came out. Some satirical aspects also take place in the movie: especially funny was the scene, when the characters arrive to a club in Slovakia & hear a techno remix of a song 'Scotty Doesn't Know'. Awesome moment.
In general, I think the film is underrated. In my opinion it is better than the first & the second American Pie, the second Scary Movie & a great number of less famous comedies. Go see it & have fun.

First of all: Greetings from a guy living somewhere in between the Brussels sprouts, hahahaha. That's right, I'm from Belgium, you know the place that no-one really knows, not even the Europeans...
Even though I expected to really hate this movie, I have to admit that I had a lot of fun watching it. I loved to see how they magnified the stereotypes about the French, the English, The Germans,... and made fun about the Catholic church. Some people pointed out that it was clear that the makers really don't know anything about the countries they were making jokes about. Possible, but it didn't bother me once. It's a comedy, not a traveler's guide!
This is how the story goes: A teenager is dumped by his girlfriend on the day of their graduation. He has contact with a German girl, called Mieke, but he thought it was a guy called Mike. Knowing this and after he has seen her photo, he decides to pay her a visit in Berlin. But of course they don't just end up in Berlin. They start their trip in London, going to Paris, Amsterdam and Bratislava before getting to Berlin...
The movie's script or the plot were probably the least of the director's concerns. It's clear that they just wanted to go to Europe, have some fun and film one hilarious situation after the other. I've got the feeling that most of the European viewers didn't mind being the subject of the movie. Yes it's crude and yes it doesn't show anything about how Europe really is, but it's also incredibly funny. I give it an 8/10 for that.

Most negative reviews seem to miss the point that the movie is not making stereotypes of European countries and cultures. It is making fun of American stereotypes of those cultures. While most comedies start funny and at some point get serious with a need for a plot that loses all the humor, EuroTrip keeps building momentum throughout. Watch it, and then watch it again.
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.

- Trivia95% was filmed in Prague, and entire streets would be green-screened just to add in Big Ben and other monuments from around Europe
- GoofsBert says, "It's Mieke, a common German girl's name," but Mieke is a Dutch name that isn't very common at all in Germany.
- Crazy creditsAfter the credits, there is a brief reprise of the scene where Cooper tricks Candy into rubbing her naked breast.
- Alternate versionsIn the German Version the whole segment inside the flat of Mieke's father is missing (boy goose-stepping). About 78 seconds have been removed. The DVD-Cover says "uncensored".
