Line 1:
{{work}}
* [[Awesome Music]]: At the Bratislava scene, a cool remix of "Scotty Doesn't Know" was heard.
* [[Best Known for the Fanservice]]: Newcomers mostly know this film for showing [[Michelle Trachtenberg]] in a bikini among other things.
* [[Critical Research Failure]]: There is no way in hell you would find a Manchester United fan club in London.
* [[Crosses the Line Twice]]: There are a lot of offensive jokes but they are really funny.
* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]: After spending the entire movie gushing about his new Leica M7 camera, Jamie immediately sells it so Scotty will have enough money to travel to Vatican City to meet Mieke. His justification?
{{quote|"The chateaus have been here for three hundred years. Mieke's gone in 12 hours."}}
* [[Cult Classic]]: While it was a dud at the box office, it gained a good following. It is also considered one of the better teen sex comedies aside from ''[[American Pie]]'' and ''[[Superbad]]''.
* [[Ear Worm]]: You'll have the song "Scotty Doesn't Know" stuck in your head for days after watching this movie.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: The Absinthe Fairy played by [[Seinfeld|Kenny Bania]]'s actor sure is fun to watch.
* [[Friendly Fandoms]]: Since they are from the same writers, ''[[The Cat in the Hat (film)|The Cat in the Hat]]'' fans get along with this film.
* [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff]]: It's no surprise that a good amount of Europeans loved this film.
* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: After ''[[Hostel]]'' came out in 2005, it can be a little hard to watch a movie that takes the idea of a sex-crazed American backpacker getting tortured while looking to get laid in Europe and plays it for ''laughs''.
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: The song "Scotty Doesn't Know" is all about...[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLG3S5WzHig fucking Matt Damon.]
* [[Just Here for Godzilla]]: No few male viewers showed up to see [[Michelle Trachtenberg]] take her top off as teased in the trailers.
* [[Memetic Molester]]: The Creepy Italian Guy, who likes nuzzling to the teens before saying "Mi scusi".
* [[Memetic Mutation]]:
** "Scotty Doesn't Know" became a meme of itself after a prankster put the song on loop at Scott Morrison's website in 2018 after the website didn't get its domain name renewed.
** "This isn't where I parked my car!"
** "Here's a fun fact. You made out with your sister, man!" This one became popular for ''[[Star Wars]]'' and ''[[Game of Thrones]]'' fans.
** "Pretty good. Pretty damn good, lads!"
** "Administer the testicle clamps!"
** "Mi scusi!"
** "Mail, motherfucker!"
* [[Mexicans Love Speedy Gonzales]]: While there are plenty of European and American stereotypes, they don't feel like stereotypes at all.
* [[One-Scene Wonder]]: Matt Damon as Donny stole the show in the prologue.
* [[Signature Song]]: "Scotty Doesn't Know".
* [[Trailer Joke Decay]]: Some of the good jokes were shown in the trailer, diluting the effect.
* [[Values Dissonance]]: A few characters casually use the word "retard". At least it wasn't bad in that department compared to future DreamWorks film ''[[Tropic Thunder]]''.
* [[Villain Song]]: "Scotty Doesn't Know", especially since the singer and Fiona are well aware Scotty is there and that they are giving him [[Too Much Information]].
* [[Win Back the Crowd]]: Jeff Schaffer, David Mandel and Alec Berg who had written ''[[The Cat in the Hat (film)|The Cat in the Hat]]'' should be glad this film was released given that they are more comfortable with adult-oriented scripts than family-friendly ones.
