EuroTrip is a 2004 American comedy film about a group of young Americans and their adventures traveling around Europe.Synopsis
The premise of the story is the online friendship between Scotty (Scott Mechlowicz), from the USA, and Mieke (Jessica Boehrs), from Germany. The character of Scott is modeled after real life Yale University student Scott Peachman, a lifelong friend of the screenwriter. Scott thinks that his penpal is male, and when Mieke finds out that Scotty was dumped by his unfaithful girlfriend, she wants to arrange a meeting with Scotty in the United States, prompting Scotty (who's drunk at this time) to call "him" a "sick German freak" and telling Mieke never to speak to him again. The next morning, his younger brother tells him that Mieke is a girl's name and that Mieke was in fact the hot girl in the picture she sent him standing next to her cousin Jan (a male). He then sets out to travel to Germany to meet her, accompanied by his best friend, and meeting up with two of their other friends.Travel sites
- (Presumably) Hudson, Ohio, United States: Start of the movie, where Scotty is dumped by his girlfriend Fiona (Kristin Kreuk) and attends his graduation party. At the party, Fiona's new boyfriend (Matt Damon) under the name of Lustra sings the movie's theme song as a salute to her, called Scotty Doesn't Know. Everyone except for Scotty cheers with him as he sings. Following the party, where he gets very drunk, Scott receives an email from his German penpal asking to have a meeting in America, but mistaking the name Mieke with the English Mike, he sends her an email saying "I don't want to arrange any meetings with you, you sick German freak. So please keep your hands off my genitals, and never write to me again, and don't come to America. Goodbye." When she reads this she becomes confused and blocks his e-mail address. Upon realizing she's actually a girl, Scott realizes he must travel to Germany to win her back.
- London, United Kingdom: Since the courier manager only had a flight going to London, they took that bargain for $118, because Cooper insists that Europe is "the size of the Eastwood Mall". There they go to the Fiesty Goat for a drink, and inside are soccer hooligans who chastise them for invading their privacy as it is a "Private members bar for the Manchester United football club". But after Scott successfully guesses and sings their anthem ("9 to 5" by Sheena Easton), they are accepted.
- Paris, France: After being accepted by the Soccer hooligans, they board a bus across the channel and into France. Along the way, the bus driver purposely drives on the left side of the road in France, thus causing a huge traffic commotion. Soon after Scotty and Cooper meet up with the twins and go to see the Louvre museum, although there is a huge line. While waiting endlessly, Scotty starts imitating a busker performing the robot dance who sees this as competition for donations. The two begin to fight in a matrix/robot-style,. Scotty apparently seems to win the fight as he kicks the busker in the groin. At dinner Scotty and Cooper convince the twins to come along with them, and so they plan their European vacation, using the condiments on their restaurant table as symbols of all the european cities they intend to visit to their destination of Berlin.
- France's northern coast: The group takes a train ride up here, where they go to a nude beach. To their dismay, it is full of naked men like them looking for girls. After Jenny takes off her shirt, they get chased down the beach by naked men desperate to see a nude girl.
- Amsterdam, Netherlands: A must-needed stop along the way, where Cooper goes to "Club Vandersexxx" and has one hell of a night. Scotty and Jenny go to a cafe and eat what they think are hash brownies and Jamie gets a blowjob from a girl in the camera store in an alley. Unfortunately, it is here where Jamie, who is in charge of all the money and identity, is robbed of everything and leaves the group with nothing.
- Bratislava, Slovakia: With no choice but to find a ride to Berlin, they manage to get a truck driver to pull over. Unfortunately, he does not speak English, and Scotty must use what little German he knows to communicate with him. He mishears him, thinks he is going to Berlin based on how many statements he makes about it, but really is going "nowhere near Berlin". So they end up in Bratislava, where they are horrified by Eastern Europe. They talk to a Slovak, and discover that there is no train coming, it is still being built. It is also revealed the Slovaks are only just now receiving American TV shows from the 1980's, as evinced by the Slovakian saying "Miami Vice is number one new show man" and "Stop. Hammer time!" They only have $1.83 American, but due to the (exaggerated) exchange rate, they get the executive suite at a lavish Slovak hotel. For 27 cents, they get into a nightclub and get lots of drinks, and the twins end up making out. The next morning, the same Slovak (Šerbedžija) shows up in his Soviet Bloc car painted like the General Lee, and he drives them to Berlin.
