When Scott learns that his longtime cyber-buddy from Berlin is a gorgeous young woman, he and his friends embark on a trip across Europe.
A mixed reception greeted this raunchy teen comedy, with critics split between those who found its shameless stupidity genuinely funny and those who objected to its relentless nudity and gender-anxiety humor. The film's crude approach to European stereotypes and its treatment of women drew pointed criticism, though a minority of reviewers found it funnier than expected once it hit its stride.
“The giddy ridiculousness of Eurotrip is a pleasant surprise: The picture starts out slow and unsteady in its rhythms. But just when you begin to wonder if it's ever going to get funny, or if it's going to be merely desperate all the way through, it lifts off like a wobbly helicopter—and somehow it keeps flying.”

“almost every girl in the movie with fewer than 10 lines to speak has to take her top off”
Elvis Mitchell·New York Times
“constant anxiety that women might turn out to be men and vice versa”
