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
Sure, this is a raunchy teen road comedy that never passes up a chance have a girl go topless, but, boy, it sure is fun.
Eurotrip delivers a savvy potty jocularity, probably because some of that European culture rubbed off on the penis jokes.
By turns ramshackle, shameless, comfortably predictable and smartly stuffed with zany detail, Eurotrip is a film that has a great sense of its own mission and aptitude.
“Brilliant” would be overstating it, but Eurotrip is a heck of a lot of fun.
No wonder so many students want to travel abroad for the summer. This trip may not be good for foreign relations, but it's good for a lot of laughs.
manages to be that oddly rare quantity: the actually enjoyable stupid comedy.
You'll find plenty of dirty jokes and sexual innuendo, bathroom humor and nudity. But mixed with the sleaze is the unexpected and occasionally inspired.
It's anything-for- a-laugh stuff, but done with an impish generosity of spirit that gleefully carries off even the grosser effects.
It's a fast, enjoyable 92 minutes, funnier than the trailers might suggest. Nothing more, and nothing less.
Despite the ridiculous shocks to the system and the unbelievable amount of male frontal nudity, Eurotrip is actually rather genteel.
The film "National Lampoon's European Vacation" should have been nearly twenty years ago: a silly, wild, raunchy and completely fun romp.
An exuberant, unabashedly raunchy tale about the magical powers of hormones and alcohol.
Slapstick is hard to do, but Schaffer and friends manage to pull it off.
