Eurotrip

 This movie is simultaneously a satire of what Americans think about Europe, and at the same time a realistic depiction of what Americans think about Europe. I've been to Bratislava, and it is nowhere as ugly as the movie depicts. This is a classic teen sex comedy of the sort that doesn't really get made any more. On watching it in 2023, a few thoughts come to mind. That 2004 is a really long time ago in pop culture. The main character falls in love with someone he's never met and only exchanged emails with, he has printed out all of his emails with this person. That's something that I remember doing, but I can't imagine anyone nowadays communicating that way by email or deciding that a conversation was worth printing out on paper. The other thing, and it's a strange thing to focus on, but I did notice it during the film, is how thin eyebrows were at that time. It was a fashion for women to barely have any eyebrows. It looks kind of creepy. Speaking of creepy, I am by far too old to be interested in any of these actresses, but it's strange how kind of average looking one of the female leads is. But that just might be the eyebrows. If you haven't watched this film, it's an entertaining waste of an hour and a half.
