Line 3:
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]], Vinne Jones, [[Xena|Lucy Lawless]], Fred Armisen and the two stars of ''[[Absolutely Fabulous]]''. Also starring [[The Adventures of Pete and Pete|Michelle]] [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Trachtenberg]].

It was filmed entirely in Prague.

* [[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...
