I came into this film expecting a lame plot, fart jokes, and T&A. What I got was T&A, a workable plot that succeeds in advancing the lame story, and some pretty good jokes.
The whole movie revolves around a guy who graduates from high school, gets dumped by his hot girlfriend, and heads to Europe in search of a girl who could be "the one".
Along for the ride is his best friend, a David Spade imitator whose antics outweigh his "annoying factor". The film makers might have figured this character could rub (<----unintentional funny, see the movie to learn why) some people the wrong way so they limited him intially and gave him one great scene that will have guys laughing their asses off. Right when he starts to get on your nerves, the movie ends. Nice pacing.
Also along for the ride is a girl and guy who are twins...kinda. The guy is the stuffy nerd type, but not too nerdy. Just enough to make him a loser, but not enough to make him the "bad guy". His sister, IMHO, is hot. She's not supermodel hot, she's the girl next door hot. She comes off as a girl who likes to get nasty, but only with the right guy. Nice. T&A spoiler: You don't get to see her naked. Probably a smart move on her part as I could see her becoming a minor star if she plays her cards right.
The trip takes the gang through England, France, Germany, Eastern Europe, Amsterdam, and Italy. The film is entertaining and funny because they take exactly what you would think they would take from each culture and make jokes based on it. The jokes aren't exclusive to mocking whatever culture is portrayed on film at the time. They also take shots at the tourists who travel to these places, no matter what nationality they are.
Overall though, this movie is very entertaining. The silly plot devices used to setup jokes are overlooked as its a comedy. You get plenty of T&A. The characters are all likeable. Some of the jokes are a bit old, but they're still fun this time around.
Did I mention the T&A? In fact, there is a scene when the group goes to a nude beach that will have Gordon masturbating furiously. Actually, this scene is rather hilarious as its exactly what one would expect...
7 out of 10 stars.
Somebody please tell me when they've seen the film so they can laugh at my last paragraph. I know Gordo will.
