Review of
Eurotrip
DVD version
Four out of five stars
This movie could
be the dictionary example of “modern teen humor” expressed in video form. The
premise is that four people (three male, one female) recently graduated from high
school embark on a summer trip backpacking across Europe. It starts with a wild
alcohol fueled party, with a pair of bare female breasts and one of the males
breaking off a long-distance online relationship with a girl in Berlin,
Germany. Realizing his mistake, he wants to go there to make amends.
What is a bit
different here is that the four main characters are portrayed as intelligent
rather than dummies engaged in the slapstick adventures. One of the males is
planning on being a pre-med major when he attends college. The humor is often crude,
none worse than when they end up on a nude beach where all present are
middle-aged men and they end up chasing the girl. A close second is when two of
the males end up in the papal quarters in Vatican City and upset the staid
operation of the church.
A vacation
movie containing crude and absurd humor, it will make you laugh and then say, “that
was dumb.”
