[[File:eurotrip.jpg|thumb|350px]]
One of the last teen sex comedies to come from the late 1990s, early 2000s boom. Scotty [[It's Not You, It's Me|gets dumped]] by his girlfriend on graduation. He then goes on a trip to Berlin to meet his German pen pal Mi(e)ke (pronounced Mee-kah, a German feminine name ''nach Deutschland'') and declare his everlasting love for her. He is accompanied by his sassy friend Cooper and [[Worst Whatever Ever|"worst twins ever"]] Jenny and Jamie. There are many wacky cameos, including [[Matt Damon]], VinneVinnie Jones, [[Xena|Lucy Lawless]], Fred Armisen, [[Seinfeld|Steve Hytner]] and the two stars of ''[[Absolutely Fabulous]]''. Also starring [[The Adventures of Pete and Pete|Michelle]] [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Trachtenberg]].
 
''[['''Eurotrip]]''''' breaks the mold of many teen comedies, in that it never actually crosses the line from 'kind of goofy' to 'gross slapstick', and actually succeeds in inserting a bit of warmth and heart into the story.
 
It was filmed entirely in Prague.
Line 19:
* [[Break the Cutie]]: When Mieke reads Scotty's e-mail, she seems genuinely upset and hurt.
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: While peeking through the bushes at the topless women in the hot tub at the post-graduation party, Cooper comments, "Well there's your R-rating right there", at which point the scene cuts to a clear shot of one of the aforementioned women.
* [[Brick Joke]]: A failed example. Cooper says that in Europe, they have "...lesbians with dildos in orange juice commercials." However, this line was deleted, so when Cooper sees an orange juice commercial that does in-fact have lesbians with dildos, it comes off more as a [[BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator MomentScene]].
** The joke's back, in the PPV cable and unrated versions.
* [[Britain Is Only London]]: Played straight and subverted. London is the only part of Britain that the characters visit, but a big part of that scene involves them hanging out with a Manchester United fan club ([[Critical Research Failure|which you aren't that likely to find in London]]<ref>not impossible, but not that likely</ref>), so...
Line 44:
* [[Did Not Get the Girl]]: The alternative ending shows [[Downer Ending|Mieke rejecting Scott]], asking "Did you expect me to suddenly fall in love with you"?. Fortunately for everyone, it was changed into a [[Happy Ending]] instead.
* [[Distracted by the Sexy]]: Jamie gets robbed at knife-point in Amsterdam, but he's too busy getting a blowjob from a local girl to put up much of a fight.
* [[Doctor Jekyll and Mister Jack Daniels]] : {{spoiler|The Twins when they visit the bar in Bratislava -- leads to [[Kissing Under the Influence]] and [[Twincest]]}}.
* [[Double Standard Rape (Female on Male)]]: The Club Vandersexx scene again. Arguably justified, since it's an S&M club where guys normally ''pay'' for that kind of thing, but still...
* [[Dramatic Slip]]: Subverted. One of them falls, says "Go on without me!".... and then, when he realizes nobody's helping him, gets up again and keeps running.
Line 71 ⟶ 70:
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: See [[Smallville|Lana Lang]] as an upfront two-timing slut. Buffy's little sister is also in this movie. To say nothing of Jason Bourne as a musician (responsible for belting out "Scotty Doesn't Know"), and Xena, Warrior Princess as a Dutch dominatrix.
** Also, [[iCarly|Miss Briggs]] is seen in confessional, and Scotty's dad is - hey now - [[The Larry Sanders Show|Hank Kingsley]]!
* [[DoctorIn JekyllVino and Mister Jack DanielsVeritas]] : {{spoiler|The Twins when they visit the bar in Bratislava -- leads to [[Kissing Under the Influence]] and [[Twincest]]}}.
* [[Intoxication Ensues]]
* [[It's Not You, It's Me]]: Although, seconds later, Fiona retracts this and insist that it ''[[Kick the Dog|is]]'' in-fact Scotty's fault.
Line 85:
* [[Official Couple]]: Scott and Mieke.
** {{spoiler|And [[Beta Couple|Cooper and Jenny]].}}
* [[One of the Boys]]: Jenny is constantly refered as a guy, and she dislikes it.
* [[Placebo Effect]]: Scotty and Jenny order some brownies from a bakery in Amsterdam run by a [[Dreadlock Rasta]]. They're stoned out of their minds... until the [[Dreadlock Rasta]] informs them that they're not hash brownies.
* [[The Pope]]
* [[Black Comedy Rape]]: The Club Vandersexx scene.
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: A lot of the movie, but especially "Scotty Doesn't Know":
{{quote|"I did her on his birthday..."}}
Line 93 ⟶ 94:
* [[Ruritania]] / [[Commie Land]] : Practically everything mildly east of Germany is shown as this.
* [[Running Gag]]: The song "Scotty Doesn't Know" pops up several times during the film. There are "Scotty Doesn't Know" cell phone ringtones, and there's even a techno remix of the song playing in the Eastern European nightclub.
* [[Satellite Character|Satellite]] [[Love Interest]]: Mieke, apart from being Scott's ideal girlfriend, doesn't have any depth at all. Justified, since she only appears in the climax.
* [[Scenery Censor]]: Both played straight and averted.
* [[Sex for Product]]: Now with pulp!
Line 110 ⟶ 112:
{{quote|"Here's a fun fact about Bratislava: You made out with your sister, man!!!"}}
* [[Unrated Edition]]: Every picture on the back of its cover contains nudity, with the word "Unrated" in place of a [[Censor Box]].
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Cooper is always picking on Jamie, but they're friends nonetheless.
* [[Wild Teen Party]]: The graduation party at the start of the movie.
* [[Artistic License Geography|You Fail Geography Forever]]: All [[Played for Laughs]].
