Eurotrip ★★ 2004 (R)

Straight-arrow Scotty, freshly dumped by his girlfriend, realizes his German pen-pal is not a man coming on to him over the internet but an insanely hot girl. What's a boy to do? Why, jet off to Europe with three friends to meet her, of course! Scott and Cooper (Pitts) get cheap tickets to England and plan to meet up with twins Jamie (Wester) and Jenny (Trachtenberg). At that point, the plot goes out the window as the movie descends into an endless string of insulting, laugh-free jokes about mimes, soccer hooligans, hookers, gay train passengers, and the Vatican. Recommended if you think bottom-of-the-barrel gags based on European stereotypes make a movie. Everyone else should avoid this Trip. 89m/C DVD .
