while eurotrip scarcely amounts to a considered examination of transatlantic cultural differences, it sure comes through on the belly - laugh front .
eurotrip is so much better than the new ghostbusters movie… yes i’ll never let it die. goonies never say die! !! !
i don’t know what the hell this article is, or why it exists, but i like eurotrip a lot so all is forgiven .
michelle' s next two movies are indie dramas: very different from
eurotrip .
i think she made
eurotrip
to get her name out there and to just have some fun, not to recieve critical acclaim. and i think michelle succeeded in those two things with this film .
try growing up with the name hans in a southern state. hey hans solo hey hans, where’s franz? at least the eurotrip thing fades away .
box office mojo is recording a very poor box office debut for
eurotrip
- the $ 25 million comedy grossed $ 6. 6 million and came in fifth for the weekend. by comparison ,
actually eurotrip has now fallen to 5th place for the weekend overall - bringing in only 6. 6 million. the other teen movie ctdq is still in 2nd place with 9. 2 million for this weekend .
it was pretty annoying being named scott around the time eurotrip came out. everyone thought it was hilarious to say, “hahaha! scotty doesn’t know! get it? it’s funny because your name is scott. ”
despite my praise, the much underrated cast of eurotrip have not encountered anything like the world of success they deserve in the six years since its release. fuck the ‘superman curse’, this is the real injustice. see for yourself :
eurotrip is a pointless sequel to a mediocre comedy. this film has a very bad script, bad acting and directing. the jokes are more crude and vulgar, and most of the time are unfunny. this is a very sorry excuse for a comedy and eurotrip scraps the bottom of the barrel in term of good ideas. eurotrip is a rushed film and it' s apparent that there wasn' t enough thought to deliver a decent comedy. eurotrip is a poorly stitched together film to make a quick buck off the original, which by today' s standards has become quite unfunny in it' s own right. road trip hasn' t aged well, and with the years has become quite boring, i really don' t see why they made a second film because this is a plainly yet another lame attempt at trying to mimick the first, but failling miserably, as if it was already a problem. eurotrip can be described simply as a cash grab. simple as that. this movie has nothing interesting to appeal to the viewer and ends up being a pointless comedy with strained jokes that try too hard to be funny, but ends up falling flat. eurotrip is a disappointment that is one of the worst comedies ever made. this is a film that doesn' t add anything to the first film and is unrelated. this is just another example of a film that tries to cash in on a successful (but not good) first film. avoid it .
i think it sucks that ctdq is doing better because i think that looks hideous. at least
eurotrip
looks like funny drivel. this seems like a strange time of year to release it. it looks like more of a summer movie to me .
from this you could choose to conclude that any satirical achievement is accidental – that an infinite number of monkeys writing an infinite number of teen films will eventually add a self - aware edge to the proceedings – but instead i put forward the hypothesis that eurotrip is entirely more conscious than it is often given credit for. yes, first and foremost it’s an accessible, broad, consistent teen comedy. but it also tackles ideas way beyond its remit as a piece of frothy adolescent titillation. mocking frat boy ignorance with one hand and applauding it with the other, eurotrip is satire at its most brazenly self - loathing and audaciously entertaining .
i think we can all agree that the buffy cast members need to start making some better movies. valentine. eurotrip. scooby - doo. darkness falls. wrong turn. it reads like a lengthy roster of suck. you' d think that actors accustomed to such excellent scripts would know stinkers when they read them .
although she hasn’t appeared in any movies since eurotrip, it’s actually quite hard to judge whether or not jessica boehrs’ career is doing well because most of her subsequent credits have been on german - language tv shows. after all, she’s practically a regular on sturm der liebe and that sounds like the best tv show ever made .
but when the film works, it really works. at its best, eurotrip is a remarkably good - natured satire about american complacency. those who find themselves laughing at the film’s london - set scenes, with their improbably placed tube stations (thamesbridge, anyone ?) and gangs of meticulously uniformed hooligans, should be under no doubt that they’re laughing with the film, not at it. there’s an all - too - patronising assumption that such silliness must be unintentional—that eurotrip ’s makers might, at best, have made something of an accidental triumph, but can’t possibly be in on the joke themselves. such a response requires an almost wilful misreading of the film .
well if there was any gloating it was because of michelle' s snooty attitude towards her buffy past which many of us simply considered ungrateful. and to do that while simultaneously acting like this' eurotrip' thing was finally good work she wanted to do... . well, it squashes my feelings of sympathy a bit .
justified and buffy the vampire slayer are two of my favorite tv shows of all - time, but those aren’t the titles i think of whenever i see jacob pitts and michelle trachtenberg. nope, that would be eurotrip, a not - good movie that i unabashedly love. during my freshman year of college, when i wasn’t watching shaun of the dead or anchorman, i was quoting eurotrip, because i am every stupid male college student ever. i’m only half - ashamed to admit that it’s one of my “if it’s on tv, i’m not leaving the couch until it’s over” movies, right up there with goodfellas and…ok, now i want to watch goodfellas .
it has been ten years since eurotrip, riding the raunchy teen comedy revival of the late ’90s and early naughts, burst into theaters and exposed an entire generation of teens to a beach full of dangling male genitalia. and even a decade later, those involved with the cult classic are still proud of it — every sex organ included .
and yet, sadly, it would be equally untrue to claim that the filmmakers are entirely aware of their genius. for each of eurotrip ’s intended punch lines (“paris is practically a suburb of berlin”), there’s an unintentional slip - up that puts into question just how sharp the film really is (“cooper, england’s an island”) .
mr. mechlowicz was on the top of the world back in 2004, exercising his considerable talents in both eurotrip and the almost - as - underrated indie drama mean creak. since then? an season one episode of house m. d. , a terrible nick nolte movie and even * shudder * a british horror film. poor scotty .
even though kristin kreuk has made only one film since her feature debut in eurotrip (the almost - certainly brilliant street fighter: the legend of chun - li) her name stills seems to carry some weight, and i was struggling to work out why. until i discovered that smallville is still going. after nearly 10 years! madness .
as regular readers of this blog will already know, i have an obsession with the 2004 teen comedy eurotrip that borders on the unhealthy. for my money it’s quite easily one of – if not the – greatest comedy movie of the last decade and considering you can pick it up on amazon for under £3, you’re an idiot if it’s not already in your collection .
i think the film' eurotrip' sounds like trash, howeveri liked the character of dawn (although far from my favorite), i think mt did all she could with the character dawn, it wasn' t her fault dawn could sometimes be written as annoying. i hope mt goes on to have lasting success, as do the rest of the btvs cast .
arrived in great condition with the other item (2x items), pacakged ok, unwrapping was easy, dvds were new, movies are great and soo funny im gona really enjoy watching them. cheap product n well worth the price, recommend products / seller. eurotrip - unseen [ dvd ] van wilder 2 - the rise of taj [ dvd ] so happy with this purchase .
nowadays you’re probably most likely to hear the film mentioned in relation to eli roth’s hostel, to which it is often compared. in his 2006 review of roth’s film, the guardian’s peter bradshaw called it a ‘humourless, soft - porn’ remake of eurotrip, which he in turn dismissed as a ‘moderate frat - boy comedy’. the comparison is understandable: both films feature highly - stereotyped versions of europe designed to satirise american ignorance. but where roth wore his intentions on his sleeve, desperately shouting ‘satire! ’ at you every five minutes just in case you suspected that hostel was nothing more than exploitation, eurotrip seems positively allergic to the word. its directors make no mention whatsoever of ‘satire’ or ‘irony’ on the film’s 90 - minute commentary track, instead describing it as a movie ‘made for fraternities’ .
equally unsuccessful is molly schade, whose only role beyond her debut here was in the 2004 short film rift. as a result, a google search for her name yields millions of topless screenshots from her 60 seconds of eurotrip screen time, and not much else. just think, malin åkerman could just have easily been ‘that topless girl from harold & kumar ‘ had watchmen not saved her from obscurity .
from the montecito picture company, “eurotrip” was directed by first - timer jeff schaffer from a screenplay that he co - wrote with his longtime writing partners alec berg and david mandel. the trio most recently adapted dr. seuss’ “the cat in the hat. ” daniel goldberg, jackie marcus, alec berg and david mandel are producing the film, with ivan reitman, tom pollock and joe medjuck serving as executive producers .
to grasp the nuances of the randy teen comedy
eurotrip ,
you must be able to laugh at the following sentence :
europe' s officially the worst country on earth !
that' s the line uttered by a character who went to europe to get laid - - his theory is that america was founded by prudes who left europe precisely to get away from hot european sex - - and came back with nothing more than a lousy t - shirt .
it has been almost five years since i laughed so hard at a movie that my mouth actually hurt. that movie was the original american pie, and since then i have sat nearly stone - faced, witnessing teen comedy reduced to a string of strictly pee - pee and poop jokes in films like tomcats and even the most recent pie sequel, american wedding. but that streak of unfortunate unfunniness came to a much - needed halt when i saw eurotrip, one of the most deliriously funny films in years .
it’s this dichotomy that makes eurotrip such a fascinating film — a film in which razor - sharp dialogue and pitch - perfect visual comedy sit uncomfortably alongside an array of painfully tired (and in many cases, homophobic, misogynistic and xenophobic) stereotypes, all cloaked in varying degrees of irony. even the film’s most devout supporters would have trouble justifying fred armisen’s predatory gay italian, or the entirely satire - free berlin scenes, in which a small boy goose - steps around a room wearing a hitler moustache for reasons imperceptible to the human brain .
sherlock holmes will soon find a new ally: justified star jacob pitts will guest - star in an upcoming episode of elementary, ew has learned exclusively. pitts, whose credits also include eurotrip and person of interest, will play paul ettinger, a brilliant and wealthy mathematician who assembles a team of his fellow math geniuses to help identify a killer that holmes and watson are tracking. pitts will appear in the same episode as the returning mad men star rich sommer. elementary returns oct. 30 at 10 p. m. et on cbs .
after collaborating on fourteen episodes of seinfeld and the screenplay for 2003’s childhood - pillaging adaptation of the cat in the hat, comedy trio jeff schaffer, alec berg and david mandel made their directorial debut on eurotrip, though in the end only schaffer was credited after the director’s guild of america failed to recognise them as a legitimate creative team. (endearingly, he was selected to take the credit after his name was picked first out of a hat .) since then, all three have written, directed and produced several episodes of hit hbo comedy curb your enthusiasm and are set to return to the big screen next year as co - writers with sacha baron cohen on his political satire the dictator. as a partnership twenty years in the making, berg, mandel and schaffer undoubtedly have compatible writing styles. and yet the received wisdom about films written by large numbers of writers does ring at least partially true in eurotrip, a film that for all its virtues has undeniable structural and tonal problems. whether this was a direct result of schisms within the threesome or was brought on by studio intervention, however, is harder to ascertain .
written and directed by alec berg, david mandel, and jeff schaffer, eurotrip is a teen comedy from the montecito picture company (makers of similar movies old school and road trip). mainstream teenager scott (scott mechlowicz) forms an online friendship with german student mieke in order to get a passing grade in his high school german class. when he finds out mieke is a buxom blonde girl (jessica böhrs), he travels to meet her with his pals cooper (jacob pitts), jenny (michelle trachtenberg), and jamie (travis wester). the group of randy teens head to berlin by way of london, paris, and amsterdam. ~ andrea levasseur, rovi
it has been ten years since eurotrip, riding the raunchy teen comedy revival of the late ’90s and early naughts, burst into theaters and exposed an entire generation of teens to a beach full of dangling male genitalia. and even a decade later, those involved with the cult classic are still proud of it — every sex organ included. at least, that was the vibe taken away from the audience wednesday night in hollywood, where cast members scott mechlowicz (“scotty”), jacob pitts (“cooper”), michelle trachtenberg (“ jenny ”), travis wester (“jamie”) joined producers jeff schaffer, alec berg, and david mandel and several others for a q & a session .

matt damon is known for a lot of things - winning an oscar, growing up with ben affleck, and being a sweet family man, to name a few - but to celebrate his 44th birthday this week, we' re paying tribute to something else matt has going for him: an absolutely hilarious sense of humor. from his memorable eurotrip cameo to his funny moments with ben to his many, many ridiculous antics on jimmy kimmel live, matt has shown time and time again that he doesn' t take himself too seriously. with a nod to his award - show shenanigans and more than a few viral videos, take a look at 14 times matt damon couldn' t have been funnier. source: getty / saul loeb
hbo has inked a two - year overall deal with “ curb your enthusiasm ” and “ seinfeld ” vet alec berg. the writer - director at present is working as an exec producer and showrunner on hbo’s mike judge comedy “ silicon valley. ” the new deal calls for berg to develop new projects for the pay cabler and supervise other prospects. “ silicon valley ” is set to bow april 6. berg spent four seasons on hbo’s larry david laffer “curb, ” and before that he worked with david on nbc’s “ seinfeld. ” in the feature realm he wrote and produced the 2012 sacha baron cohen vehicle “ the dictator, ” and he wrote the 2004 comedy “ eurotrip. ” berg is repped by uta and attorney ken richman of hansen jacobson .
nonetheless, their performances in eurotrip are remarkably assured, in particular that of jacob pitts as the remarkably endearing oversexed bastard cooper. his delivery of the line “dude, mieke’s hideous, run! ” is without a doubt one of the great comedy readings of all time. mechlowicz too seemed destined for success after the impressive one - two punch of this film and indie drama mean creek, both released in 2004 but offering wildly different performances from a young actor whose only prior role was playing smee in an obscure wil wheaton - starring take on peter pan (try ebay). his easily overlooked performance here is actually deceptively complex, and (ironically) his straight - man routine gives rise to one of the film’s most distinctive attributes: its all - encompassing obsession with homosexuality .
spending quality time with your family is important, and one of the most fun ways of doing that is definitely doing one of america’s favorite past times. that’s right, going to the movies. it’s an economical way of getting together with your parents and hanging out. but sometimes, there are certain scenes or even entire movies that can make things pretty awkward real fast. we have compiled a list in our video of some of the movies that make us cringe near our parents and we recommend you don’t watch them together with your folks. one of the worst on this list is definitely eurotrip. it follows a guy who gets dumped at his high school graduation and goes to europe to meet his pen pal. but this quest is filled with so much inappropriate stuff, we are pretty sure your parents will turn off the television so quick ,
british actor vinnie jones is best known for playing:' sphinx' in gone in sixty seconds,' big chris' in lock, stock and two smoking barrels,' mad' maynard' in eurotrip and of course,' juggernaut / cain marko' in x - men: the last stand, but you' ll soon know him as daniel

brickwell in season three of cw' s comic book - based television series, arrow. according to variety, the former footballer - turned - actor will play the villainous' brick' in episodes 10, 11 and 12. the character will feature
thick, invulnerable skin
and is described as being a
ruthless gang leader who brings star city’s government to its knees. he’s known as “brick” on the streets because he’s been shot dozens of times but never put down .
nonetheless, eurotrip has proved a surprisingly enduring piece of pop cultural currency, and not only in the £3 bins of most surburban hmvs (though it inevitably does well there too). sequences like the parisian robot fight and cooper’s hot tub subterfuge seem to be perennially familiar to anyone under the age of thirty, even if they don’t necessarily represent the film’s finest moments. the latter scene was originally conceived while berg, mandel and schaffer were doing rewrites on snowboarding comedy out cold, but they liked it so much that they decided to save it for their own movie. that three professional screenwriters should be so precious about a sequence that’s essentially just an excuse to see an 18 - year - old first - time actress from ohio rubbing her tits for a bit, suggests they might not entirely be the modern - day swifts i’m so eager to paint them as .

in 2009, everyone took notice of neill blomkamp' s talents when district 9 became the sleeper hit of the summer. its $ 210m revenue easily surpassed the film' s meager $ 30m budget. interest in his next project reached a feverish pitch. that project was the 2013 film elysium, which starred matt damon (
eurotrip
). it pulled in $ 286m at the worldwide box office against a budget of $ 115 million (minus marketing costs). in 2015, we' ll get to see his next offering. it will be chappie, here' s the official tagline :
after being kidnapped by two criminals during birth, chappie becomes the adopted son in a strange and dysfunctional family. chappie is preternaturally gifted, one of a kind, a prodigy. he also happens to be a robot .
it stars: hugh jackman, sigourney weaver and sharlto copley .
+ matt damon’s cameo — as the band leader / guy who steals scotty’s girlfriend, played by kristin kreuk — came together because the producers knew him from their days at harvard…and he was in prague. in fact, many parts, including jeffrey tambor’s, were filled because the actors were already shooting in prague, where eurotrip was filmed. “no one wanted to fly over and we didn’t have the money to have anyone fly over, ” recalled schaffer. “so we basically looked around and said, ‘who’s filming in prague?' ” luckily, damon was in town shooting the brothers grimm. not so lucky, however, was that the only night he was available was the shortest night of the summer, so “we literally had from 10: 45 at night…and the sun would come up at 3: 45, ” remembered schaffer. “so we shot it in, like, 4. 5 hours. ”
+ they had a lot of trouble casting scotty. “it had gotten to the point, literally, where we were going to restaurants, staring at our waiters, ” said mandel of the search for scotty. luckily, mechlowicz, a ucla student at the time, “rode in on a white horse” to save them from further stress over casting the all - important part. meanwhile, trachtenberg credited her physical comedy in her audition — which was the airplane scene where jenny climbs over cooper on her way to the bathroom — to her getting the job offer from the producers. “and i blew them, ” deadpanned trachtenberg, who got several laughs from the crowd for her natural eurotrip - style humor. above all, though, producers said it was important to them at the time to cast real teenagers in the roles. “we didn’t want 35 - year - olds playing high school kids, ” said schaffer .
eurotrip was filmed entirely on location in prague in the czech republic. mandel says, prague is a beautiful city. just the fact that we were able to double prague for so many cities was amazing.  berg notes, the irony is that one city that prague did not serve as in our shoot was prague. but it was london, paris, berlin, amsterdam, rome, vatican city, bratislava and even hudson, ohio.  despite shooting in and around one city, the production schedule felt more like a trek across europe to the cast and crew. we were traveling every day,  schaffer remarks. it was the wildest thing; we were never in the same place twice. the fact that we were able to accomplish so much in one city is a tribute to our entire production team, especially our extraordinary director of photography, david eggby, and our production designer, allan starski, who is unbelievable. 
time for a special edition of throwback thursday! in honor of
eurotrip' s
10th anniversary on thursday (feb. 20), we rounded up gifs from the cult classic movie starring some of the biggest names on tv and in movies today. yeah, it' s been 10 years. commence feeling old now. remember that time a tatted up and pierced matt damon sang a song about doing kristin kreuk behind her boyfriend' s back at his own graduation party? ouch. if scotty didn' t know before, he certainly knows by now: seriously, best song ever (unless you were scotty, then it was probably the worst song you had ever heard in your entire life): and remember that time michelle trachtenberg had to resort to flashing cars to try and get a ride for her and her friends? and then she unknowingly almost gave all the men on the nude beach a free show, and ended up
if you' re a fan of matt damon and matt damon - starring movies, then you' re most likely also a fan of matt damon' s cameos. see, matt damon is fond of cameos. he may be one of the biggest movie stars in the world - - leading major hits like the martian and this week' s jason bourne - - but he' s also a master at the bit part, the blink - and - you - miss - him role that often finds itself tucked into the corner of some random movie or tv show, just waiting to surprise you. our favorite all - time matt damon cameo might be the only thing you actually remember about the 2004 teen sex comedy eurotrip, about a bunch of high school friends who go on a trip to europe after one of them is dumped by his girlfriend. but it' s the scene where poor scotty is dumped that stands out... read more
after a world premiere at los angeles’ iconic mann’s chinese theatre, eurotrip was released across the united states on february 20th 2004. it opened at number five at the box office, behind mainstream fare like 50 first dates and confessions of a teenage drama queen, as well as hockey drama miracle and ray romano vehicle welcome to mooseport. it was a similar story in the uk, where it opened in less than 100 screens and quickly dropped out of the top ten thanks to a june release date that put it in the vicinity of mean girls, troy and the third harry potter movie. critics weren’t much more favourable, writing it off as a formulaic, if occasionally successful, comedy in the red - text - on - a - white - background vein. paramount’s marketing department were all too happy to concur, and later that year issued a dvd release that looked about as credible as one of those american pie spin - offs that eugene levy keeps putting his name to .
for all those who think this is mt bashing at it' s finest - for the most part it' s not but being a hollywood observer type most of us know the adage your only as good as your last project. right now buffy is carrying her foreward just as harriet the spy carried her to buffy, but if the films she makes continue to fail at the box office her stock price drops and all she will be able to do is 2 - 3rd rate films or 4th lead on a wb sitcom. we want to see her succeed but we also want to see that she does it in a way that gets her positively noticed eurotrip is not it and for the record lucy lawlaess is also in this film and has garnered more press time then mt has for it - even though her part is significantly small. but have faith cause even michelle pfeiffer made grease 2 and was able to have a career after that, so all hope is not lost. : )
several of starski’s sets were so convincing that they fooled a number of locals, as well as visiting tourists. his paris metro station was decked out with authentic signs and posters and looked so real that passersby tried to use it and were surprised to learn they couldn’t get there from here.  visual effects supervisor kevin blank was responsible for completing the transformation of prague into the many different locales needed for the film. through the use of cgi, blank was able to add such familiar sites as the eiffel tower, the coliseum and big ben into the backgrounds of their respective cities. the filmmakers emphasize that this eurotrip is not your parents’ european vacation. the main thing we tried to do is make sure that our group does things that 18 or 19 year olds would want to do,  schaffer offers. they are not doing things they would do with their parentsthat their parents would drag them to. they are on their own, so it’s them having fun in ways that kids would have fun. 
before we start, let’s make entirely clear what this is not. this is not an ironic aggrandisation of a trivial film, nor a satirical application of film academia to an unworthy subject. it is not a celebration of a ‘guilty pleasure’, and it is definitely not an example of the spurious but inescapably pervasive ‘so bad it’s good’ genre. instead, this is a study of what i believe to be one of the greatest comedy movies ever made: the 2004 box - office flop eurotrip. it’s a widely underrated film, but that’s not to say that its appeal is in any way niche. rather, it’s a massively accessible laugh - out - loud comedy that for various reasons — a cast list lacking any real star power; promotional material that portrayed it as a kind of low - rent boat trip (if such a thing is even possible) — never really connected with an audience. it’s a mess for sure, but a glorious one, and one whose many misconceived elements serve only to heighten the brilliance of its successes .
well, almost. 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. scott mechlowicz is scotty, who has just graduated from high school (great) and has also been dumped by his hot girlfriend (not so great). for years, he' s been enjoying an e - mail correspondence with a german student named mieke, who he assumes is a guy. what a numbnuts! it turns out mieke is a sweet young thing who' s been saving herself for scotty. when she tries to console him, via e - mail, over his breakup, and suggests they find a way to meet in person, he thinks his german guy friend is coming on to him and blocks mieke' s e - mails .
songs written for film' s fictional pop stars typically miss the mark, but schlesinger has shown it' s possible to hit the right note • more from the why i love... series you couldn' t make miley cyrus up; madonna, britney and divine did it for you. pop music parodies itself all the time, but film finds it tricky. on the surface, film' s fictional pop stars are in key with their real - world counterparts: they' re shallow and self - centred, often a bit dim, and always image conscious. it' s when it comes to the songs that the fiction falls flat. i can' t buy matt damon as a sneering punk bro in eurotrip (2004). it' s not because of the fake piercings, or his horrible lip - synching, but because the song was written for the film and sounds like it. it gets skate - punk nearly right, so we nearly believe the performance. nearly enjoy it, too. not many songwriters can write a

a raunchy comedy that is utterly formulaic but still funnier than it has any right to be .
a movie so bad that it dares to give the old and worn - out term

a pretty funny teen sex comedy full of dirty jokes and bathroom humor. it is nothing special and definitely not supposed to be taken seriously, so just let yourself go with it and you may laugh real hard at its hilarious nonsense and inspired moments .
you don' t have to have had a lobotomy to watch this movie, but it would probably help a lot .
great film! very funny and my old school is in this including my house! a must see! scottay doesn' t know! a funny cameo from matt damon. really hilarious !

also well known are the film’s many impressive cameos, from lucy lawless, joanna lumley and (most remarkably) a post - bourne matt damon. all were friends of the filmmakers who agreed to lend themselves to the production for a day or two. kevin smith was also set to appear, but dropped out after it became apparent that filming a simple ohio - set scene would require him to travel to prague .
with the exception of a few brief insert shots, the entirety of the film was shot in the czech capital. locations around the city doubled for london, berlin, paris and the rest of the gang’s european tour, as well as the united states, and tax incentives helped to keep production costs down. the blatant inauthenticity of these stand - in streets and composited skylines (almost certainly not intentionally bad — mandel & co. are quick to praise the vfx team at any opportunity) may require some suspension of disbelief on the part of the audience, but they also bring into sharp focus the entire point of the movie: this is not europe, this is what four naïve american teenagers imagine europe to be. and even when the goofs are entirely accidental, there’s an ironic brilliance to them that only adds to the overall effect. upon arriving in london, the teens visit a pub called the ‘fiesty goat’ — a misspelling that was mindlessly carried across from script to set design, and shot for two days before anyone noticed the mistake .
as casting purely in the states was considered prohibitively expensive, a large number of actors were brought on board in the czech republic, with less - than - convincing results. scott’s younger brother bert is portrayed by czech teen nial iskhakov, who’s perfectly funny in the role but couldn’t look much less ohioan if he had three arms and a detachable head. add to that the large number of americans playing europeans characters (fred armisen, j. p. manoux, diedrich bader) and you’re left with the impression that the filmmakers were actively trying to cast against logic. such choices further illustrate the insanity of taking any of the film’s apparently xenophobic attitudes at face value: this is a film in which the vast majority of american characters are portrayed by the very europeans they’re so quick to deride .
the film’s lead quartet of scott mechlowicz, jacob pitts, michelle trachtenberg and travis wester, on the other hand, are the all - american real deal. with the exception of trachtenberg, who became a child star with the 1996 nickelodeon comedy harriet the spy and was later a recurring character on buffy the vampire slayer, they were all picked from relative obscurity to appear in the film. only trachtenberg was still a teenager at the time of production, shooting most of the film aged 17. her male co - stars ranged between 24 and 26. sadly, all four have since slipped out of the spotlight, moving onto independent films (mechlowicz), appearing on cable tv (wester) or in the case of pitts and trachtenberg, continuing to accept minor teen roles into their late - twenties (in heist drama 21 and body - swap comedy 17 again respectively) .
homophobia is shifting in the contemporary comedy landscape. today’s mainstream comedies are falling over themselves to have their cake and eat it where gay issues are concerned. obviously, the joke is no longer explicitly at the expense of the flamboyant queen or the rugged bear; now the attention has shifted to the straight protagonist (s) and the possibility that they might be thought of as gay. there’s a spurious notion that this shift allows us to laugh at homophobia rather than with it, on the basis that it’s the dumb redneck stereotype saying ‘faggot’ instead of the action hero. but essentially, we’re still being presented with heterosexual characters who are amused and / or horrified by the innately ‘icky’ idea of homosexuality, and all the token quirky gay roommates in the world can’t change that .
of course, like the rest of the film, any intellectualising is slightly at odds with the movie’s pervasively juvenile tone. on paper it’s very easy to attribute intelligence and nuance to the film’s writers, but when a behind the scenes featurette clearly shows one of them warning an actor not to ‘drop the soap’ during the filming of the nude beach scene, it gets that little bit harder to champion them as heroes of queer cinema .
perhaps it’s this conflict that makes the film a tough one to truly love. it’s often unfairly presented as a film that audiences might enjoy ‘in spite of themselves’, which massively underestimates a team of filmmakers who are all too capable of moments of satirical clarity. but the adolescent thoughtlessness that penetrates (* snigger *) so much of their work sits ill at ease with such ambitions and leaves a lot of the film feeling misconceived. when, on the film’s commentary track, schaffer and co. take it upon themselves to cheer every appearance of a black person on screen, it is of course done with a knowing irony, but that doesn’t really make it any less idiotic .
this teenagers - abroad comedy is full of randy high - school - boy humor that turns out to be — surprise, surprise! — kind of funny .
he' s mortified when he learns of his mistake, then decides to take a huge risk: he collects his slacker - dude best friend, cooper (jacob pitts), and joins two other school friends, twins jenny (michelle trachtenberg, who played dawn on
buffy the vampire slayer
) and jamie (travis wester), on a summer tour of europe. he plans to show up at mieke' s door, explain everything, and find true love - - maybe even get laid .
it' s a classic innocents - abroad setup - - so classic that you' d think it would have been exhausted by now. but director jeff schaffer, who wrote the script with alec berg and david mandel (the same team that wrote, god help us ,
the cat in the hat ,
but don' t hold that against them), finds some surprising ways to freshen it up. what' s surprising is that some of the tactics are glaringly obvious, and yet they can still make you laugh: when the kids are dumped off in bratislava by the surly truck driver they' ve hitched a ride with (they were certain he was taking them to berlin), they' re dismayed to find themselves in a crumbling gray neighborhood, your classic movie version of a depressed eastern european locale just perfect for slitting your wrists in .
their passports and their money have been stolen. they pool whatever bits of change they' ve got left and exclaim in dismay ,
$ 1. 83 american - - what are we going to get with that ?
cut to jenny lounging in a frothy bubble bath, having her toenails attended to by a squadron of maids in crisp uniforms, and scotty being measured for a bespoke suit - - you get the idea .
