Summary: Predictable, but hilarious
Review: Eurotrip is brought to us by the same people who brought us Road Trip and Old School, and it's not hard to tell. Loaded with some predictable gags, ethnic stereotypes, and situations that could never ever happen in the real world; Eurotrip still manages to be the funniest film to be released yet this year. High school graduate Scotty (Scott Mechlowicz) takes off to Europe after being dumped by his girlfriend in search of an obscenely hot German girl who he thought was a guy. Along with him are three of his friends: Cooper (Jacob Pitts, who closey emulates a young David Spade, both physically and comically), Jamie (Travis Wester), and Jenny (Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Michelle Trachtenberg); all of whom travel from France to Amsterdam (naturally) and all over Europe getting into all kinds of mishaps. While Eurotrip occasionally borderlines on stupidity, you won't be able to help yourself from laughing. Featuring hilarious cameos from Matt Damon, Smallville's Kristin Kreuk, Lucy Lawless, and the always great Vinnie Jones.

Summary: Dumb, dull, directed badly and worst of all, too late
Review: Eurotrip might have been kinda funny a few years ago. Unfortunately, Road Trip and Old School, used in all the ads, beat it to the punch, and while neither of those are particularly intelligent movies either, they're much better than the nearly laughless hell that is Eurotrip. The movie is overbearingly annoying to start with, using pointlessly loud and cluttered credit sequences that intend to be but are remarkably unfunny. From there, it segues into a concert that has a few amusing moments, but nothing of takeoff velocity. After that, the few high point include a couple of Snatch cast members (Rade Serbedgia and Vinnie Jones), and a song that actually manages to become a little more funny with each successive appearance. Don't watch this dreck. Not only are Old School and Road Trip smarter and funnier, but this year's The Girl Next Door trumps all of them with more charming, witty and funny material. (And as an added black mark, the use of Old School and Road Trip's logos in the previews have resulted in the permanent cancellation of Old School 2...what a waste).
