Eurotrip

EuroTrip is a 2004 American comedy movie about a group of young Americans and their adventures traveling around Europe.

Humor

Eurotrip's tagline was "no actual Europeans were harmed in the making of this film", and it is perhaps most notable for its many stereotypes of various European countries and their people. Prominent among them are:

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

• Eastern Europe, which is portrayed as poverty-stricken (Bratislava is visited by the group)
• The Netherlands, which is portrayed as very tolerant of drugs and prostitution (Amsterdam is visited)
• British people, who are portrayed as football hooligans
• French people, who are portrayed as boring and stuffy (as shown by the long line at the Louvre and the mention of one at the Eiffel Tower)
• German people, who are portrayed to still have neo-Nazi tendencies, as Mieke's step-brother paints himself a Hitler mustache and parades around the apartment.
• Italian people, who are portrayed as homosexual, characterized by an Italian man in the friends' compartment who makes moves on Jamie.
• Not only poking fun at foreign nationalities, the American protagonists are inherently shown as being naïve, boorish, or inappropriately hedonistic.
