I have to brag - I'm the guy Michelle Trachtenberg steals french fries from in the Amsterdam Bakery scene. Michelle and Scott were cool as hell and so were the directors. If you're a big fan of this movie, you need to know the story about the baker who scolds Scott and Michelle about the brownies. Two rasta guys were hired that day ("Rasta Waiter" and "Rasta Chef") but neither of them were actors - and the one who had all the lines was too shy and didn't want to do it - so they switched parts - and the guy you see (Go Go Jean Michel Francis) was amazing and went on to act in other movies. Also, Matt Damon was never intended to appear in Eurotrip but at the time of filming, "The Brothers Grimm" was shooting in the same city (Prague, Czechia) and he unexpectedly offered to do the cameo! And yes, Europe is exactly like Eurotrip. Europeans are so cool - you should definitely go!
It's an absolute sin this film got lost in the "frat"-type wave of the early 2000s. It's head and shoulders above the others. Still holds up. Still hysterical.
I still consider this movie to have the most random and funniest Matt Damon cameo. The way he turns up here with that killer and fitting “Scotty Doesn’t Know” earworm still makes me smile today.
Matt Damon took the role because he was friends with the screenwriters from college and they asked him to be in it. He filmed it while he was in Prague working on another film.
You're completely right about why this film works. Yes it's raunchy but it's also very wholesome. Its a group of friends supporting and helping out another friend.
This was the first movie Michelle Trachtenberg did once _Buffy the Vampire Slayer_ was over, so I think the idea was to get away from the character (without ruining her career, like some actors unintentionally do after playing a famous and/or long-standing part), so she was in a raunchy-com, but considered the "good girl" of the group. And I agree that a lot of raunchy-coms are being cruel for the sake of bad jokes. The jokes in this movie were funny because they weren't cruel. I think that's why this movie's been gaining in popularity over time while most other raunchy-coms are dying or dead.
I think the scene was filmed actually in a poor housing project in Bucharest, wasn´t it? The movie is totally ridiculous, that's why it's great. If someone believes exchange rates work like that... the price of lets say, one liter of milk, is about the same in any country. Probably even more expensive in a country with high inflation. One nickel can be worth 1 million of the local currency, it won´t mean you will be able to buy what 1 million dollars can buy, just means that 1 million of the local currency are worth nothing.
@@rogeriopenna9014 Afaik, every scene in Eurotrip was filmed in the Czech Republic (Czechia) - from "American Highschool", London, Paris, Amsterdam to Bratislava, Germany and Vatican. Bratislava exterior shots were done in Milovice (specifically former military housings from Soviet era - now renovated).
@scottv8124 Yeah, short of a nuclear disaster wiping all recordings of it and hunting down everyone who enjoys it, that's going to be an impossible task. And Simone knew the song before seeing the movie, so just going after people who had seen Eurotrip wouldn't help. Anyone could know the song and teach it to others.
@@scottv8124 Remember that song "Bitch" by Meredith Brooks? That was my friend's name (Meredith not Bitch lol). She got so much shit from that song, though.
I get way too much email now for that to maintain funniness in my case sadly. I still set 'Message for you, sir' from Monty Python as my SMS tone though.
"That's a lot of money for one camera" Trust me dude, a used DSLR can sell for more than 1,000 euro, and a Leica M6 in the early 2000s would be even more expensive
I remember seeing this in high school. my friend's dad volunteered to take like 6 of us. he laughed his ass off, wife found out what we watched, mega furious. for context, dads a fire fighter and mom is ultra religious lol. This is one of those movies what makes a memory hilarious.
We were on a holiday in Thailand in 2011 and one night we were at a nightclub in Bangkok and Scotty Doesn't Know came on and most of the people (including us) there started singing.
This was written and directed by three of the writers from "Seinfeld". You can tell the characters have a similar dynamic to the Seinfeld characters. Like Seinfeld, it's three guys and a girl. One of the guys is uptight, one is outrageous, and the other is relatively normal while the girl is just one of the guys.
From what I understand the movie was pretty much universally loved because it took shots at just ALL the stereotypes for every country/region including having the American tourists just being constantly clueless.
Yeah, my experience too. I'm from Poland, I watched it with friends around the time of release, and we all loved it and quoted it constantly. Its portrayal of Eastern Europe really amused us, we were not offended in the slightest. Actually "oh my god, we're in Eastern Europe" was one of our favorite quotes.
Same... and after so many resets, the little green goblin dude in the menu would get more and more aggravated that you haven't started the movie if I remember right. I wonder how many people never knew about it.
This movie turned Michelle Trachtenberg into my teenage crush (you can guess which scene) and also features a scene from my home country (no, not the fancy ones, the "Eastern Europe" one :D).
Half of my class had a protestant religion lesson, where the teacher put on a DVD on Martin Luther (not King). He left, they swapped the disk for Euro Trip, he returned during the scene in the confessional and thought the whole class had been watching a porn collectively the whole time. 😂 Yes, there was detention.
Scotty Doesn't Know is still one of the greatest songs ever created. I still listen to it on my playlist to this day. Also, it's such an underrated movie. For those who watched it back in the day will never forget that Scotty doesn't know. I loved his friend getting a promotion after being MIA the whole internship.
Yes that is Matt Damon singing Scotty Doesn't Know. One of my favourite comedies ever. I'm laughing and crying while watching your reaction. It's so funny. Good chose patrons.
I'm so happy you included the subplot of Cooper interning at a law firm. I've watched several reactions to this movie and no one includes that, and it's a hilarious little ongoing joke.
It took me ages to realize that Cooper is also Tim Gutterson, the veteran sniper in Justified. The roles are so different. And it still feels kinds iffy to see Michelle Trachtenberg so sexy when for so long she was just Buffy's annoying little sister...
fun fact, in Italy Fred Armisen's character was considered offensive, so in the dubbing they changed him from being Italian to being Mexican, instead of saying "mi scusi" he says "buenas dias".
No, not offensive at all, was changed in spanish cause all the movie was dubbed in italian, and a guy who speaks the same language was considered "wrong" so they choose spanish.
Great reaction! Eurotrip is one of my all-time favorites. It is super smart and well acted and, I agree, it doesn't depend on humiliation for humor like so many other comedies do.
I think most people that have seen this movie knew y’all were gonna love it. Such a forgotten classic of the early 2000s raunchy comedy era. I think George is right. It holds up really well because it’s not mean spirited. It’s just fun
I find it funny that you think he got a lot for his Leica M7. You can buy a used one today for between 3500 and 4500 Euros! It originally for for about 3k in 2004, and those are pro cameras that don't depreciate. A mint condition one new in a box today would sell at auction for 17k easily. Leica is like the Rolls Royce of cameras. Also Matt Damon did this movie because he went to Harvard with the co-writers and directors Jeff Schaeffer & David Mandel.
I was lucky enough to be at the 10th Anniversary Screening at the Arclight-Hollywood. The entire cast was there for a Q&A. Even snagged a Vanderrsexxx t-shirt. One funny answer that i remember was that they had to have Solo Cups overnighted from the states to shoot the graduation party scene. Never dreamt they wouldn’t be able to get them there and it just looked wrong when they tried to do the scene with the only generic cups they could find there. It was great night at the Movie House.
I was blasting 'Scotty Doesn't Know' one time late at night in my car and this other car pulls up to me at a red light and just goes NUTS! It was an awesome moment lol.
One of my all time favorite comedies, so damn funny! "You didn't tell your boss you were going to Europe." "They would have stopped paying me. This seemed easier"
One thing I noticed about myself is that while I do not mind raunchy or explicit content I never liked vulgarity just for the sake of it. This movie never really crosses that line, sometimes just a hint of something is enough to make the joke work. It's hilarious!!
The first time I saw this I could not catch my breath during the Heinreich scene in the apartment. There are just so many great jokes in this movie and Vinney Jones is a hilarious in every scene.
Matt Damon has said that to this day after all the movies he's done this is the one movie that gets quoted to him the most and he was only a cameo essentially 😅
I’ve only seen this movie once when I was ~16 - borrowed the DVD from a friend and watched it in the small window after school, before my step dad woke up (3rd shift) and my mom got home. I remember sitting *so close* to the TV to keep it as quiet as possible so I could hear my step dad if he got up. I remember thinking it was absolutely hilarious even though I used to take myself waaaay too seriously. So many scenes from this movie were lodged in my memory, like the robot mime I remember vividly. So good, and so glad you both enjoyed it. You’re both raunchy in different ways and it’s always a joy watching comedies with you two.
The DVD special features has two directors commentaries, one is normal, the second they play a drinking game and drink every time there is underage drinking shown. They get hammered and want to order pizza but don't know if the delivery guy could get past the gate guard and get to the studio. They also point out a clue that this wasn't filmed in America when you can see the purple toilet paper when Scottie pees in the bathtub, and the top flushing toilet.
Michelle Trachtenberg was also in, among many other things, a little underseen movie called "Take Me Home Tonight" where she played a goth in 80s LA. It was a small role though.
This movie was much better than road trip. I loved the cameos. vandersexxx mistress was Xena Warrior Princess, the robber that stole Jamie’s pack was Diedrick bader from (Rex from Napoleon Dynamite) Obviously Matt Damon, David hasslehoff and Fred armisen as the train perv.
One of the most defining films of the early 2000s. It was absolutely glacial in terms of cultural impact. Everyone knew the 'Scotty doesn't know' song and it was often played at parties, bars, clubs, etc. It was just so instrumental in that little era that it was essentially required viewing. I look back on it so, so fondly.
When I watched this with my movie night group, our Northern Irish friend saw the map in the credits with the Union Jack covering all of Ireland and called out "This is a fucking hate crime!" Ever since then we always say that whenever we see something we don't like in a movie we're all watching together. So glad a channel I follow has finally watched this!
It does let you know what kind of Northern Irish friend you have which is a Irish Nationalist/Republican. An Irish Unionist from Northern Ireland wouldn't have had any problem with it.
@@NovusIgnis Maybe go and read the Good Friday/Belfast Agreement 1998. It allows people in Northern Ireland to be Irish, British or both. I'm guessing you know nothing about the history of UK and Ireland?
My favorite fact about this movie (which may or may not still be true) is that Jacob Pitts (who plays Cooper) lives in Bratislava and is married to a Slovakian woman.
First time I saw this, during the "Mi scuzi" train ride, I literally fell of my chair laughing. This is one of the few go to comedies that will always bring a a smile to my face.
It's worse. In the early 2000s, it was like this. Now it's like Prague but way more expensive. It's very good looking city, but then which one in Europe isn't?
Old School is another classic, along with Road Trip. I also have done something similar with work and being in another state while supposedly being there lol.
To answer George's question - this movie was a phenomenon in Romania back in the day. I'd say more teens back then (as I was) preferred this over American Pie for example. It was humor poking fun at countries we poked fun at. An all time classic, should've spawned a franchise for other continents.
The line for the Louvre reminds me of the line for the Lupercalia (brothel) in Pompei. Big line, then single file and move through the (small) building fast! Everyone is in line to see the obscene frescoes, but you move through so quick you can't see them as anything but vague shapes.
While I mostly agree with Simone about viewing Michelle Trachtenberg in that role.....that silver top she was wearing....very nice. Move movies need outtakes during the credits.
Fun fact: Almost the whole movie was filmed in Prague. The "American" high school, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, it's all just Prague. Even the Slovakia scene was filmed in some abandoned barracks in Czechia (but of course we're not gonna depict our country as an Eastern European stereotype so we just made fun of the Slovaks lol). The movie even has some Czech actors, fir example the guy who will open his own hotel is pretty famous here. Because of this, the movie was extremely well known and popular here. I first saw it right when it came out when I was 10 yo (definitely not apporiate 😅) and countless times since. For me, it's one of the few movies of this genre that still holds up after the years.
When I was in college, one of the pep band mellophone players did an arrangement of Scotty Doesn't Know for the pep band to play. It sounded really cool. But, he gave the trombones the ostinato bass line, not realizing how much slide movement it required. He apologized for it. But, I thought they sounded amazing, and it looked cool as hell watching every trombone player move their slides that much in sync.
Michelle Trachtenberg was also in the Movie Take Me Home Tonight staring Topher Grace from That 70s Show, Anna Faris, Chris Pratt, and Dan Fogler from the Fantastic Beast films.
Absolutely fell in love with this movie after 20 years 😂 In the theaters was such a blast, smiling throughout the whole thing. The entire cast was made for them. Bullet tooth Tony and Boris the Bullet Dodger from Snatch made it even better 👌
I have to brag - I'm the guy Michelle Trachtenberg steals french fries from in the Amsterdam Bakery scene. Michelle and Scott were cool as hell and so were the directors.

@@ashscott6068 To be fair, it was the same distributor, and they kind of encouraged the mix-up.
Boat Trip is on this level imo
I think Accepted is better but i still really loved this movie.
@@Raptchur Eh, the two are similar. This one has nudity and more raunch but also better over-all actors. No shame to a fat, young Jonah Hill.
Can I just say, George's delivery of "No, no. I had friends," was so fantastic I'm hard pressed to believe it wasn't a line reading.
Maybe the harshest/funniest burn George has ever given Simone.
And then Simones immediate reaction of "Heyy!!" 😂
That was golden

It is so crazy that Cooper is such a jackass while Gutterson is such a badass!
He has the exact same dry sense of humor on Justified as well.

I was lucky enough to be at the 10th Anniversary Screening at the Arclight-Hollywood. The entire cast was there for a Q&A. Even snagged a Vanderrsexxx t-shirt. One funny answer that i remember was that they had to have Solo Cups overnighted from the states to shoot the graduation party scene. Never dreamt they wouldn’t be able to get them there and it just looked wrong when they tried to do the scene with the only generic cups they could find there. It was great night at the Movie House.
I was blasting 'Scotty Doesn't Know' one time late at night in my car and this other car pulls up to me at a red light and just goes NUTS! It was an awesome moment lol.
One of my all time favorite comedies, so damn funny!
"You didn't tell your boss you were going to Europe."
"They would have stopped paying me. This seemed easier"
One thing I noticed about myself is that while I do not mind raunchy or explicit content I never liked vulgarity just for the sake of it. This movie never really crosses that line, sometimes just a hint of something is enough to make the joke work. It's hilarious!!
I love this movie. It came out same year i was graduating high school and is now the time capsule of my college years. Oh and hellooo Michelle T.
Harriet the Spy got Hot.
The first time I saw this I could not catch my breath during the Heinreich scene in the apartment. There are just so many great jokes in this movie and Vinney Jones is a hilarious in every scene.
Probably one of my favourite raunchy road trip movies. Glad I'm seeing it more often in reaction channels.
Michelle Trachtenberg was also in the Nickelodeon show The Adventures of Pete and Pete.
Matt Damon has said that to this day after all the movies he's done this is the one movie that gets quoted to him the most and he was only a cameo essentially 😅
This is the movie that Michelle went from a girl on Buffy to a GIRL in real life.
I’ve only seen this movie once when I was ~16 - borrowed the DVD from a friend and watched it in the small window after school, before my step dad woke up (3rd shift) and my mom got home. I remember sitting *so close* to the TV to keep it as quiet as possible so I could hear my step dad if he got up. I remember thinking it was absolutely hilarious even though I used to take myself waaaay too seriously. So many scenes from this movie were lodged in my memory, like the robot mime I remember vividly. So good, and so glad you both enjoyed it. You’re both raunchy in different ways and it’s always a joy watching comedies with you two.
Early 2000s raunchy comedies were on a different level and I love them
Michelle Trachtenburg has been my celebrity crush since I was 10 and she was on Pete and Pete. She's 2 years younger than me so it's not weird at all.
The DVD special features has two directors commentaries, one is normal, the second they play a drinking game and drink every time there is underage drinking shown. They get hammered and want to order pizza but don't know if the delivery guy could get past the gate guard and get to the studio. They also point out a clue that this wasn't filmed in America when you can see the purple toilet paper when Scottie pees in the bathtub, and the top flushing toilet.
"They're in Vegas and just think they're in Europe" LMFAO.. Nope.. not what this movie is.. BUT DAMN.. Now I want to see that movie really bad! lol
Anyone else want to see "Not Another Teen Movie," but George has to wear his hair in a ponytail?
While wearing the crocodile Dundee hat 😂😂
With the 'Hans... Gruber...' joke, I've always assumed the kid was named 'Heinrich' because '... but Heinrich had the detonators!'
Michelle Trachtenberg was also in, among many other things, a little underseen movie called "Take Me Home Tonight" where she played a goth in 80s LA. It was a small role though.
This movie was much better than road trip. I loved the cameos. vandersexxx mistress was Xena Warrior Princess, the robber that stole Jamie’s pack was Diedrick bader from (Rex from Napoleon Dynamite) Obviously Matt Damon, David hasslehoff and Fred armisen as the train perv.
One of the most defining films of the early 2000s. It was absolutely glacial in terms of cultural impact. Everyone knew the 'Scotty doesn't know' song and it was often played at parties, bars, clubs, etc. It was just so instrumental in that little era that it was essentially required viewing. I look back on it so, so fondly.
can't wait for the 'hey everybody, welcome to my robot balls' intro
I forgot that Lucy Lawless (Xena) is the dominatrix.
When I watched this with my movie night group, our Northern Irish friend saw the map in the credits with the Union Jack covering all of Ireland and called out "This is a fucking hate crime!" Ever since then we always say that whenever we see something we don't like in a movie we're all watching together. So glad a channel I follow has finally watched this!
It does let you know what kind of Northern Irish friend you have which is a Irish Nationalist/Republican. An Irish Unionist from Northern Ireland wouldn't have had any problem with it.
That man obviously identified himself as Irish. Any Irish person would react the same way.
And your friend is right
@@NovusIgnis Eh, then they should have fought harder to keep it. Most Irish are in America anyways.
@@NovusIgnis Maybe go and read the Good Friday/Belfast Agreement 1998. It allows people in Northern Ireland to be Irish, British or both. I'm guessing you know nothing about the history of UK and Ireland?
Michelle Trachtenberg is one of the highlights in this movie, cool reaction as always Simone & George, you both take care and have a nice day
This movie has the best surprise cameo of all time
"Ich hab' mal ne Alte abgestochen in 'ner Bar in Berlin." is funnier than it should be 😂
My favorite fact about this movie (which may or may not still be true) is that Jacob Pitts (who plays Cooper) lives in Bratislava and is married to a Slovakian woman.
First time I saw this, during the "Mi scuzi" train ride, I literally fell of my chair laughing. This is one of the few go to comedies that will always bring a a smile to my face.
I was just randomly recommended this channel and I'm glad! It's fun seeing people enjoy movies that hold a special place in my heart, haha
I've been to bratislava. it's not an ashtray the way they depict it in the film. It's a nice city.
Of course it's not. It's a movie. LOL
It's worse. In the early 2000s, it was like this. Now it's like Prague but way more expensive. It's very good looking city, but then which one in Europe isn't?
I'm an American who had a Slovakian girlfriend. Agreed, Bratislava is a nice city.
You must've went in the summer
Old School is another classic, along with Road Trip. I also have done something similar with work and being in another state while supposedly being there lol.
To answer George's question - this movie was a phenomenon in Romania back in the day. I'd say more teens back then (as I was) preferred this over American Pie for example. It was humor poking fun at countries we poked fun at.
An all time classic, should've spawned a franchise for other continents.
So many cameos in this movie. It’s great.
The line for the Louvre reminds me of the line for the Lupercalia (brothel) in Pompei. Big line, then single file and move through the (small) building fast! Everyone is in line to see the obscene frescoes, but you move through so quick you can't see them as anything but vague shapes.
While I mostly agree with Simone about viewing Michelle Trachtenberg in that role.....that silver top she was wearing....very nice.
Move movies need outtakes during the credits.
19:42 It is in Moulin Rouge, that does have the advantage of Kylie Minogue being the fairy.
Such an underrated comedy. Having lived and traveled throughout Europe, it hits the mark in so many ways!
Fun fact: Almost the whole movie was filmed in Prague. The "American" high school, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, it's all just Prague. Even the Slovakia scene was filmed in some abandoned barracks in Czechia (but of course we're not gonna depict our country as an Eastern European stereotype so we just made fun of the Slovaks lol). The movie even has some Czech actors, fir example the guy who will open his own hotel is pretty famous here.
Because of this, the movie was extremely well known and popular here. I first saw it right when it came out when I was 10 yo (definitely not apporiate 😅) and countless times since. For me, it's one of the few movies of this genre that still holds up after the years.
I had a major crush on Michelle Trachtenberg as a teen after watching Ice Princess.
When I was in college, one of the pep band mellophone players did an arrangement of Scotty Doesn't Know for the pep band to play. It sounded really cool. But, he gave the trombones the ostinato bass line, not realizing how much slide movement it required. He apologized for it. But, I thought they sounded amazing, and it looked cool as hell watching every trombone player move their slides that much in sync.
Very funny movie .Michelle Trachenberg was in the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer . She was terrific .
Still is!
I love this film. I'd often break out the "Mi scuzi" at work with other people who knew the film. Always a chuckle.
Fiona is played by Kristen kreuk who plays Lana Lang on smallville.
Michelle Trachtenberg was also in the Movie Take Me Home Tonight staring Topher Grace from That 70s Show, Anna Faris, Chris Pratt, and Dan Fogler from the Fantastic Beast films.
Absolutely fell in love with this movie after 20 years 😂 In the theaters was such a blast, smiling throughout the whole thing. The entire cast was made for them. Bullet tooth Tony and Boris the Bullet Dodger from Snatch made it even better 👌
Yes, little Dawnie grew up and was just as beautiful as her screen sister and mother!
3:29 Best Cameo Ever
My greatest takeaway from this movie is the song! LOVE it!!
