Another risqué teen sex comedy

Raunchy teen sex romps are nothing new. Over the past five years or so, Hollywood has produced countless movies involving horny high school and college-aged kids trying to get laid. "Eurotrip" is definitely not anything new in that department.\nThe premise of the movie is simple: Scott (Scott Mechlowicz) has been corresponding with a German penpal named Mieke (which he thinks is German for "Mike") for years. After his girlfriend dumped him at his high school graduation, Scott receives an e-mail from Mieke (Jessica Boehrs) asking to arrange a meeting. Scott, very drunk and thinking that Mieke is a male sexual predator, sends an e-mail telling her he never wants to correspond again. \nAfter Scott realizes Mieke is, in fact, a very attractive young woman who has just blocked his e-mail address, he decides to travel all the way to Europe to meet her. Along with his best friend Cooper (Jacob Pitts) and the twins, Jamie and Jenny (Travis Wester and Michelle Trachtenberg), he travels all over Europe trying to get to Berlin to meet Mieke. Hilarity ensues in such cities as London, Paris, Amsterdam and the grand finale in the Vatican.\nThe humor of the movie doesn't really bring anything new to the genre: the filmmakers pretty much resign to the fact that there is not much new material in the teen sex romp genre, and instead resort to the tried-and-true jokes focusing on sex and alcohol. \nHowever, although the humor isn't completely fresh, the movie is hilarious. The jokes start in the first few minutes of the movie and pretty much don't stop throughout the entire film. \nBeware though, "Eurotrip" definitely pushes the envelope far, as good taste is concerned. Without a very tolerant sense of humor, many of the jokes may offend rather than entertain. Instances of gratuitous male and female nudity, sexual acts and incest run rampant throughout the film. \n"Eurotrip" also shows many stereotypes of various European cities and countries. For example, there are crazed soccer hooligans in England, creepy mimes in France and a lot of kinky sex and drugs in Amsterdam. The stereotyping, however, never really goes too far, and no European country is immune. \nThe acting is fair. Granted, no real scenes are designed to pull at your heartstrings, but so far as onscreen chemistry and comic delivery goes, the main characters capture the essence of a horny teenage road trip while still having just enough heart to keep the audience interested in the ultimate quest: finding Mieke.
