EuroTrip - 3 stars

A spiritual sequel to “Road Trip”, “EuroTrip” is an outrageous teen sex comedy. Parts of the film are very amusing but there are also plenty of scenes that are just so disgusting. It’s all dumb and immature but a lot of it is very watchable and it kept my interest.

In “EuroTrip”, Scott Thomas (Scott Mechlowicz “Mean Creek”) has been left humiliated by his cheating girlfriend (Kristin Kreuk “Street Fighter: The Legend Of Chun-Li”). After mistakenly rejecting an online friend because he thought she was male, he decides to head to Berlin with his friends to find her. Along the way, the gang will get into lots of trouble all over Europe.

The main characters are surprisingly endearing for this type of film. Normally, teens in this most are so unlikeable but I actually wanted to see Scott succeed. The group encounter lots of whacky individuals including a vicious Manchester United fan (Vinnie Jones “Swordfish”), a German kid that likes imitating Hitler and a perverted man on a train. British filmgoers are likely to want to wait to the credits to see the brief appearance of Joanna Lumley (“Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie”). Matt Damon (“The Bourne Identity”) also has a hilarious cameo role as the frontman of a band singing “Scotty Doesn’t Know” about Scott’s love life.

“EuroTrip” clearly inspired several elements found in the horror movie “Hostel” such as the pervert on the train and a rather bleak depiction of Bratislava, Slovakia. “EuroTrip” features sex in a confession booth in the Vatican, an all-male nude beach, a torture brothel in Amsterdam and lots of other wild and unpleasant sights. If you like films such as “Borat” and the “Jackass” films then I’m sure you will love it but it was just a little too much for me. I cannot deny that I did laugh at many parts of it though.
