EuroTrip

Eurotrip should be taken with levity and exaggeration, because that's exactly how – I hope – the makers intended it. I saw the film for the first time during my high school years and now I came back to it after some years. Yes, there are some eye-rolling moments in all (European) directions, but if you see the film as a parody of the (a)typical attributes of a few select European countries, you will find this trip quite entertaining as well. On the other hand, it is not only a sort of mockery towards Europe, but also towards the limited intelligence of Americans, whose thinking rarely goes beyond the borders of their country. I can probably understand any rating for this film, but – with that in mind – it is unpretentious entertainment with ideal running time and more than one humorous cameo (Lucy Lawless or Miroslav Taborsky).

One of the best teen comedies! It beautifully exploits the American swagger with which our heroes enter every European backwater, excitedly chasing European girls and indulging in alcohol, which is allowed here from the age of 18. In this regard, what amused me the most was the short trip to Bratislava, which was depicted as a dump full of dilapidated blocks of flats, where you are the richest citizen of the country with less than two dollars – it didn't hurt. But really, the script as a whole is so wonderfully crazy and imaginative that I was happy to get carried away and take part in the greatest trip ever organized by the Americans in good old Europe. I'm just a bit sad now that I'm not a Manchester United supporter, their fan club is really cool! 80% (30.08.2012)

The screenplay is basically nothing but crap, but despite its many cringeworthy moments, I still find the film adorably silly and I did enjoy most of the funny scenes. Plus, the film accurately portrays how Americans see Europe. Even if I lived in Bratislava, there's no way I could get offended. Especially since it was obviously shot in Košice (at least at first glance). (31.10.2020)
