EuroTrip is a 2004 American teen sex comedy[3] film written and directed by Jeff Schaffer, Alec Berg and David Mandel.
Mechlowicz portrays Scott "Scotty" Thomas, an American high school graduate who travels across Europe in search of his German pen pal, Mieke (Boehrs).
Accompanied by his friend Cooper (Pitts) and twin siblings Jenny and Jamie (Trachtenberg and Wester), Scott's quest takes him to England, France, the Netherlands, Slovakia, Germany, and Italy, encountering awkward, humorous, and embarrassing situations along the way.
In the town of Hudson, Ohio, Scott "Scotty" Thomas is dumped by his girlfriend, Fiona, immediately after his high school graduation at the beginning of the film.
The group travels to Amsterdam, where Jamie is robbed while receiving oral sex in an alley, losing everyone's money, passports, and train tickets.
Inside the Vatican, Scotty and Cooper search for Mieke and accidentally rings the bell of San Marco, which signals the Pope has died.
On the flight back to Ohio, Jenny and Cooper give into their urges and have sex in the plane's lavatory, while Jamie stays in Europe after being hired by Arthur Frommer.

[11] Arthur Frommer was initially approached to cameo as himself in the film, due to scheduling difficulties the role would ultimately be played by Patrick Malahide.
[14] In her review for Salon, Stephanie Zacharek wrote, "The giddy ridiculousness of Eurotrip is a pleasant surprise: The picture starts out slow and unsteady in its rhythms.
"[16] In his review for Village Voice, Michael Miller criticized the film for its "constant anxiety that women might turn out to be men and vice versa.
[11] Ultra Culture blogger Charlie Lyne, who introduced a screening of the film in 2011 at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, wrote in 2012 that "EuroTrip is satire at its most brazenly self-loathing and audaciously entertaining".
[18] Damon reportedly has said that despite appearing in notable films like Saving Private Ryan, The Talented Mr. Ripley, and the Bourne franchise, fans often repeat "Scotty doesn't know!"
