Chicago TribuneRobert K. Elder
Finally, a teen sex comedy that's funnier than both its trailer and its outtakes. More important, Eurotrip -- with its laser-guided sex toys and infectious theme song, "Scotty Doesn't Know" -- just might be the best comedy so far this year. Read full review

Film ThreatKevin Carr
If you go in thinking it’s just a stupid teenage sex comedy, it can be pretty funny. Read full review

Charlotte ObserverLawrence Toppman
A good critic likes nothing better than to go in with low expectations and be proven wrong. EuroTrip makes me a good critic. I'd have sworn I'd never laugh again at somebody assaulting a mime, but this goofy comedy makes even that ancient concept fresh. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyJohn Patterson
It sure comes through on the belly-laugh front, from its animated in-flight, safety-manual credits through to the very last blooper ('ooligan Vinnie Jones' breathtaking, obscenity-filled rant against the "fahkin' Eye-ties"). Read full review

Boston GlobeWesley Morris
In light of our recent crackdown on runaway nudity, the steady stream of exposed breasts in the gnarly Eurotrip give it a nostalgic feel. Read full review

USA TodayClaudia Puig
Mixed with the sleaze is the unexpected and occasionally inspired. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterMichael Rechtshaffen
Although a number of the gags fall flatter than a crepe, the accent is on the charmingly juvenile as opposed to the purely puerile, with a fresh-faced cast of amiable young performers on hand to make the trek relatively painless. Read full review

SalonStephanie Zacharek
Works if you just give yourself over to its exuberant silliness. Read full review

Dallas ObserverLuke Y. Thompson
The opening credits -- animated sequences that spoof airline safety cards -- are a high point, but if you're not a prude, the rest of the flick ain't bad either. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyOwen Gleiberman
In the world according to Eurotrip, the Europeans may be a twisted, outdated, ridiculous lot, but what defines them is that unlike the Americans, they've never quite evolved to irony: They treat even the scuzziest habits with dire sincerity. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineAngel Cohn
Scene-stealing cameos by Matt Damon and Lucy Lawless and the very catchy pop song that becomes a leitmotif for Scotty's pain are among its less-raunchy (comparatively speaking) highlights. Read full review

The New York TimesA.O. Scott
The mildly xenophobic humor includes one of the few inventive mime insults seen in a movie; Eurotrip may be stupid, but it's not dumb. Read full review

Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean Axmaker
Yet for all the debauchery, there's a juvenile candor in its knowing embrace of teen sex comedy cliches, as if the entire film is just one of Scott's fantasies. You half expect him to jolt awake at the end, and why not? The film fades just like a half-remembered dream. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Stephen Cole
But Eurotrip has no provocative central characters, an absolute must for a gross-out teen comedy. As their names suggest, Scott, Coop, Jenny and Jamie are wusses. "Animal House"'s Bluto Blutarsky would've swallowed them whole without belching. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleCarla Meyer
Teen sex comedies always have more homoerotic moments than you can shake a ... whatever ... at, but Eurotrip seems overly concerned with penises and predatory men. This brand of humor, a time-honored crutch for comedy writers, is both lazy and unseemly. Read full review

New York Daily NewsJack Mathews
A string of sketches. Some are better than others -- or, at least, less bad -- but they exist as extended, stand-alone jokes within an enveloping framework. Read full review

The A.V. ClubScott Tobias
The brain trust responsible in part for last year's "The Cat In The Hat," Eurotrip seems like the result of a particularly half-hearted brainstorming session. Read full review

VarietyScott Foundas
Promising young cast flounders amid comic material that's staler than week-old bread. Read full review

Washington PostSara Gebhardt
The producers of this mediocre movie ...had a story line rife with potentially good material and instead chose to let bathroom humor, lewd scenarios and gratuitous nudity color their European landscape. Read full review

Chicago ReaderJonathan Rosenbaum
Seems intentionally slapdash and stupid, but when one of them referred to Europe as a "country," I wasn't sure if it was meant as a joke or not. Even so, I laughed once or twice. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarc Savlov
It’s hardly the most original teen comedy we’ve seen, but, again, Schaffer, working from a script by himself, Alec Berg, and David Mandel keeps things borderline sweet throughout. Read full review

EmpireJames Dyer
Like many of its ilk, this lacks both the wit and cheeky charm of the Pie franchise, subsisting instead on trite gags that dredge up every European stereotype from football thugs to French mimes. Read full review

New York PostJonathan Foreman
A lazy and uninspired knock-off of the hilarious 2002 movie "Road Trip." Read full review

PremiereLaine Ewen
The premise of the film is serviceable, but the execution is flawed and entirely underwhelming. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKevin Crust
While the cast members are all appealing, with characters that are barely penciled in it falls on their shoulders to make the film even passably watchable, which they only barely manage. Read full review

Washington PostDesson Thomson
If you're going to make a gross-out comedy you can't just be gross. You've got to be to be funny as well, or the movie will be DOA. Which is why Eurotrip should be toe-tagged and shoved into the deepest and coldest of video vaults. Read full review

Village VoiceMichael Miller
Eurotrip's constant anxiety that women might turn out to be men and vice versa makes this command especially fraught. Read full review

ReelViewsJames Berardinelli
It boggles the mind to consider that the fertile writing team of Alec Berg, David Mandel, and Jeff Schaffer, all of whom spent time scripting episodes of "Seinfeld," could turn out something as abysmally unfunny as Eurotrip. Read full review

Baltimore SunChris Kaltenbach
Most of the humor is both determinedly puerile and unfunny, performed by a generic cast. Read full review

Portland OregonianM. E. Russell
Quite possibly the single most artless gross-out comedy I have ever seen. It relentlessly slaps you with dead carp after dead carp of icky gags -- without any of the cleverness, cinematography or characterization that would give those gags even the slightest bit of juice. Read full review
