Passport already stamped with the likes of Road Trip and Old School? Then prepare to feel at home in the world of Eurotrip, where horny high schoolers are the main characters and the plot takes a back seat to dumb set-pieces.

Eurotrip's speciality is stereotypes, director Jeff Schaffer's juvenile offender taking pot shots at everything from English football hooligans (led, fittingly enough, by Vinnie Jones) to kinky Dutch dominatrixes.

Admittedly, the idea of laughing at stupid Americans abroad is a solid one, but there's really nothing new here to justify relocating to Europe (or should we say Prague, the city's tax breaks encouraging the filmmakers to mock up their entire Euro tour within its limits). Silly foreign stereotypes aside, this may as well be set in Texas, the horny characters simply wandering the usual trampled paths towards getting laid.
