Undemanding teenagers will love 'EuroTrip' since it ticks all of the boxes necessary for a teen-comedy. Tits, bums, booze, drugs, sex, babes they're all there; it's a shame though, that the formula just doesn't quite work on this occasion.
There are the occasional inspired moments but on the whole this is a lacklustre affair, hampered too much by its stereotypical view of Europeans, its poorly written script and the ill-defined characters.
Obviously inspired by the much sharper 'American Pie' and the much funnier 'Road Trip', 'EuroTrip' fails to match either film in the laugh stakes and will be remembered most fondly by fans of Michelle Trachtenberg, who looks great and will hopefully go on to star in much better vehicles for her talent in the future.
****EDIT****
I've just re-watched it. It's actually funnier the second time around (and it helps if you have a bit to drink first). Plus both Michelle Trachtenberg and Jessica Boehrs are great to look at!!! Rating upgraded from 4/10 to 6/10.
