Chicago Tribune Robert 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.

Film Threat Kevin Carr

If you go in thinking it’s just a stupid teenage sex comedy, it can be pretty funny.

Charlotte Observer Lawrence 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.

LA Weekly John 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").

USA Today Claudia Puig

Mixed with the sleaze is the unexpected and occasionally inspired.

Boston Globe Wesley 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.

The Hollywood Reporter Michael 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.

Salon.com Stephanie Zacharek

Works if you just give yourself over to its exuberant silliness.

Dallas Observer Luke 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.

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In the world according to Eurotrip, the Europeans may be a twisted, outdated, ridiculous lot, but what defines them is that unlike the Americans, they've never quite evolved to irony: They treat even the scuzziest habits with dire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

TV Guide Angel 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.

The New York Times A.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.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean 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.

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.

San Francisco Chronicle Carla 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.

New York Daily News Jack 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.

The Onion (A.V. Club) Scott 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.

Chicago Reader Jonathan 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.

Austin Chronicle Marc 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.

Empire James 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.

Variety Scott Foundas

Promising young cast flounders amid comic material that's staler than week-old bread.

Washington Post Sara 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.

New York Post Jonathan Foreman

A lazy and uninspired knock-off of the hilarious 2002 movie "Road Trip."

Premiere Laine Ewen

The premise of the film is serviceable, but the execution is flawed and entirely underwhelming.

Village Voice Michael Miller

Eurotrip's constant anxiety that women might turn out to be men and vice versa makes this command especially fraught.

Washington Post Desson 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.

Los Angeles Times Kevin 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.

ReelViews James 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.

Baltimore Sun Chris Kaltenbach

Most of the humor is both determinedly puerile and unfunny, performed by a generic cast.

Portland Oregonian M. 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.

Miles C gave it a10:
classic teen comedy that has, if anything, has become even better over a time, a rarity among this genre.

Ryan D gave it a5:
Such predictable and boring jokes make this a loser in my book. I know it's a comedy, but come on, the story should be a tad possible.

Matt A. gave it a9:
Offensive? Give me a break; i'm European and I thought that the stereotypes were hilarious! It's a light hearted joke movie for Christ's sake, it's meant to be childish. I thought it was a shame the hostel scenes in Amsterdam were deleted; watch the dvd, they're hilarious!

R D. gave it a10:
Very good movie. The swimming pool movie scene at the start and the boob-rubbing scene was HOT!

Nicollette Z. gave it a10:
I thought it was a great movie. It was hilarious. They better make a second one.

Rox G. gave it a1:
This film is really lame - let's hope the stereotypes in this film aren't believed - it actually verges on offensive - a long shot off the original US college comedies.

Kevin L. gave it an8:
Eurotrip ROCKS.
