EuroTrip is a 2004 American comedy film directed by Jeff Schaffer.

Plot
A teenager and his friends travel through Europe to meet his pen pal.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Matt Damon’s cameo as a lead singer for a rock band is considered by many as one of his best minor roles.
 * 2) The song “Scotty Doesn’t Know” is catchy, raunchy, hardcore and well-written. In fact, those who haven’t seen the film know the song more often.
 * 3) Jeff Schaffer, Alec Berg and David Mandel, who wrote all the raunchy jokes for The Cat in the Hat have embraced the mature content on their screenplay with no restrictions from the Seuss Estate. It helps that they all wrote episodes of Seinfeld.
 * 4) After the men drink absinthe, a comedic green fairy played by Steve Hytner of Seinfeld fame appears.
 * 5) Memorable quotes including “This isn’t where I parked my car”, “You made out with your sister, man” and “Mi scusi”.
 * 6) ”Scotty Doesn’t Know” had an epic remix heard in the club scene and was remade by the band in 2006. It was also used as a prank on Scott Morrison’s website.
 * 7) Michelle Trachtenberg embraces her nude scene with grace.
 * 8) An incest kiss after drinking absinthe is tasteful in this film.
 * 9) Lucy Lawless as Madame Vandersexxx and Vinnie Jones as Mad Maynard are really fun to watch.
 * 10) It has a good balance between humor and heartwarming moments without pandering to both.
 * 11) It is considered one of the best teen sex comedies after the release of American Pie.
 * 12) The opening animated intro is pretty good.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Matt Damon doesn’t sing “Scotty Doesn’t Know”. He was dubbed over by the actual singer.
 * 2) There is a deleted scene where Cooper ends up at Anne Frank’s house. Thankfully, it wasn’t filmed.
 * 3) It bombed hard at the box office.
 * 4) There a few ableist slurs used.
 * 5) The title was renamed from The Ugly Americans to EuroTrip to cash in to the success of Road Trip.
