The tagline for “Eurotrip” says “no actual Europeans were harmed in the making of this film,” but they left out one crucial detail — American audiences will be bored to death.

“Eurotrip” is the new teen comedy from the producers of “Old School” and “Road Trip” that falls into that clich‚ category of hyped-up comedies from burnt-out producers.

The leader of the American tour of Europe is Scott Thomas, played by Scott Mechlowicz, who is dumped by his girlfriend at graduation. After spilling his guts to his longtime pen pal “Mike,” Scott freaks out when ‘Mike’ comes on to him. Following the gag of translation jokes, Mike turns out to be a gorgeous blond German girl named Mieke. Scott and his best friend, Cooper, played by Jacob Pitts, sneak off to Europe to meet Mieke.

From this point on, the rest of the movie is filled by familiar clich‚s of Americans in Europe — from Amsterdam’s nightlife to Nazi German youth to a bit of Catholic blasphemy — all presented in a worn-out comedy routine with a distinctly pro-American flair.

The film does succeed in some small part with the repeated “this isn’t where I parked my car” motto, a dream sequence with David Hasselhoff singing a German love song and repeated assaults by an Italian homosexual. Despite all of this, many of the big comedy scenes seem to elicit only forced laughter from the audience. The blatant product endorsement throughout the whole movie is almost sickening, although it probably brought the studio a fair income to make up for the inevitable lack of ticket sales.

The plot itself is somewhat original, but the producers failed miserably to put in enough funny material to fill the holes between the overused sappy teen romance that climaxes in the completely vacuous happy ending. Even another poor “Americans as tourists in Europe” movie, “National Lampoon’s European Vacation,” makes “Eurotrip” seem uninspired.

The best acting in the movie, surprisingly, is delivered by Matt Damon in a cameo as a band singer who steals away Scott’s high school girlfriend and writes “Scotty Doesn’t Know,” a song about sleeping with Scott’s girlfriend. The song recurs throughout and even follows the cast to Europe, and at one point, even Scott gives in to singing it once.

However, by the end of the movie, it’s obvious “Scotty Doesn’t Know” is really about his acting, as the poor script is made pathetic by most of the main characters’ performances. The movie seems to really be about teenagers playing actors taking a trip to Europe. And unlike “Road Trip” and “Old School,” the generic actors in “Eurotrip” just can’t pull together a comedy like seasoned actors Tom Green and Will Ferrell.

All the bad acting, boring comedy and tacky clich‚s make “Eurotrip” an extremely over-hyped B-movie barely worth renting from the video store.
