So he teams up with three friends and goes to Europe, and they face constant humorous situations on their way to Germany and to the girl of Scotty's dreams.

MY REVIEW: I was very shocked with this film. In a good way of course. There isn't a lot of depth by any means, but it is hilarious. It has a lot of nudity, which is very welcome, and also great actors, who help pull the humor off so well. I also enjoyed the Matt Damon cameo. Unexpected and great, which is actually a perfect way to describe this movie.

    This is definitely not the type of movie that needs a detailed analysis. As Kevin Smith would say, it's one that is better watched and not really discussed to it's full potential. So instead of reading this review, maybe you should just watch the movie. Why are you still reading? Whatever, I'll just continue. The comedy relies fully on being able to laugh at other countries. Although, this isn't a negative look towards other countries, but humorously, it actually makes America look worse, showing it as the prude country it really is. Is that a good thing? I don't really know, but this movie does not in any way try to hold back on it's potential. It keeps the laughs coming, and to my surprise, makes jokes about Europe that I could relate to on a more intelligent level, while others couldn't. What I mean is, I have been to both England and Holland, and I figured most of the jokes would be solely for people who are oblivious to the culture, and even though a lot of the jokes were for those types of people, there were also quite a few jokes that having actually gone to Europe would make much more funny. The movie is really fun on all levels, and although a bit cheesy in places, a perfect way to spend a lazy couple of hours.
