EuroTrip is a 2004 American comedy film. The story tells about how a guy and his three friends travelled across Europe to search for his German pen pal, whom he initially thought was a man. Realizing that the guy has feelings for her, they visit London, Paris, Amsterdam, Bratislava, Berlin, Vatican City and Rome, encountering awkward and embarrassing situations along the way. This movie is about funny experiences. The film ends with the two lead characters embracing one another and kissing the girl on the bed.

The film was shown in 2,512 theaters all over the United States and Canada, on February 20, 2004. Eurotrip grossed $6,711,384 over its opening weekend and went on to gross $17,771,387 in the United States and Canada and $3,025,460 in other territories for a worldwide total of $20,796,847. Eurotrip is a product of DreamWorks SKG Company.

Eurotrip received a 47% approval rating based on 111 reviews and a 23% rating based on 26 reviews from top critics, according to a review aggregate website. On Metacritic, the film scored 45 out of 100 based on 30 reviews.
All scenes from Europe in the movie were filmed in Prague, Czech Republic, especially in the streets close to the Rudolfinum. The scene when the main characters are boarding the train station in Paris was filmed in Prague's main railway station (Hlavní nádraží). The scene inside "Vatican City" was actually filmed in Prague's National Museum.

The movie's comic script and plot were probably the least of the director's concerns. It can be shown that they just wanted to go to Europe, have some fun and film one hilarious situation after the other. A fun trivia about Eurotrip is that the word "zussamen" was used, however, such word doesn't really exist in the German language. The correct word is "zusammen" which means "together". The word was used but it doesn't fit the meaning and the grammatical use of the word "zussamen" in the movie.
