Eurotrip (2004)
First half-hour or so is actually quite funny (Matt Damon, of all people, has a great bit), but once the trip actually starts the film collapses into a lifeless compendium of ugly-American jokes, each one more obvious and telegraphed than the one preceding it. I laughed fairly consistently through the first act and then maybe twice more for the remainder of the film. Granted, that still means it's funnier than the majority of teen comedies (including its ostensible inspiration, Road Trip), but then I say that like it's something to be proud of.
Grade: C
