Clinging to the coattails of monumental teen cult successes such as American Pie and Road Trip, comes Eurotrip, a movie shameful in its attempts at capturing the hearts and minds of adolescent movie-goers across the country. Written and directed by Jeff Schaffer (Road Trip), this movie has virtually no redeeming qualities, depending instead on its redundant exploitation of stereotypes and graphic nudity. This movie will only elicit a few cheap laughs, as it hardly stacks up to other gratuitous comedies of the same genre. Featuring a cast of relative unknowns, Eurotrip will not do for these aspiring stars what American Pie did for the likes of Jason Biggs, Chris Klein and Sean William Scott. Despite being made with the failsafe formula of other rite-of-passage teen comedies, this movie just isn't very funny. The movie comences at the high school graduation of Scott Thomas (Scott Mechlowisz), and within seconds the story tailspins into ridiculousness. Exploring every clich, the movie transfers predictably from the ruthless dumping of Scott by his girlfriend Fiona (Kristin Kruik) at graduation to a raging "kegger" celebration. This scene features a cameo by Matt Damon as 'Donny,' a rock and roll vocalist taking centerstage as he sings an ironic pop punk jingle entitled "Scotty Doesn't Know." The unoriginal plot, not surprisingly reminiscent of Schaffer's work in Road Trip, then begins to fall into place. Scott unintentionally mistakes his German pen-pal Mieke for a perverted man, and under advice from his whacky friend Cooper (Jacob Pitts), puts an end to their communication. After finding out that Mieke is in fact a woman, and a beautiful one at that, Scott decides to pursue his love and visit Mieke in Berlin. With his best friend Cooper at his side, Scott begins his makeshift adventure through Europe. Without warning, the movie thrusts head first into a world of predictable "European" behavior. Within moments of arriving in England, the two boys find themselves in a bar surrounded by crazed Manchester United football fans. The maniacal behavior and dialogue of this gang, appropriately led by "Mad Maynard" (Vinnie Jones), is unfortunately just about the most entertaining part of this flick. Jones, better known as "Bullet-Tooth Tony" from Snatch, turned in a stellar performance in his typecast role as a crazy British thug. The predictable adventures continue from the Louvre in Paris, the Red Light District in Amsterdam, and the Vatican in Rome. No possible mischief is left unturned as the group, now comprised of Scott, Cooper, and "the twins" Jenny (Michelle Trachtenberg) and Jamie (Travis Wester), traverse across Europe. Although one will have no problem sitting through this movie and being at least slightly entertained, I would give serious thought before spending any kind of money to witness this load of bunk in the theaters. The abundance of beautiful naked women in the movie, clearly aimed at securing the money of the adolescent male movie-goer, is at least partially nullified by a horrendous scene of entirely naked old men basking in their flatulent glory. Overall, Eurotrip is just a watered down version of more well thought out and better written shock-value comedy. There is virtually no legitimate content in this movie and apparently no underlying theme or lesson learned. If you see this movie in theaters, you will be setting yourself up for disappointment.
