Things just aren’t all that funny in this slob
comedy from the makers of Old
School and Road Trip. Four high
school graduates trek through most of the
obvious European cities on a quest for
love, and all of those obvious cities come
with obvious humor. England has soccer
hooligans; Germany has bondage queens;
Amsterdam has potheads and so on. The
one redeeming comedic element in this film
is Fred Armisen as a creepy Italian guy
who gropes young men on trains as they
pass through tunnels. Other than Armisen,
the laughs are few and far between. Matt
Damon makes a useless cameo as a punk
rock singer, and the Pope gets slandered
in unimaginative fashion. For those who
like their humor raunchy, this might be
good for a few chortles, but it is no laugh
riot. Too bad, because I was looking
forward to a good stupid movie.
