EuroTrip is a 2004 teen adventure comedy film directed by Jeff Schaffer and starring Scott Mechlowicz, Jacob Pitts, Michelle Trachtenberg, Travis Wester, and Jessica Boehrs. Written by Alec Berg, David Mandel, and Schaffer, the film follows an American teenager, Scott "Scotty" Thomas (portrayed by Mechlowicz), who travels across Europe in search of his German pen pal, Mieke (portrayed by Boehrs). Scott's quest takes him to London, Paris, Amsterdam, Bratislava, Berlin, and Rome, encountering awkward and embarrassing situations along the way. The film received a Teen Choice Award Nomination for Choice Movie Your Parents Didn't Want You to See. The film begins in Hudson, Ohio, where Scott "Scotty" Thomas (Scott Mechlowicz) is dumped by his girlfriend, Fiona (Kristen Kreuk) at his high school graduation. Later that evening, Scott and his best friend, Cooper Harris (Jacob Pitts), attend a graduation party and learn that Fiona has been sleeping with Donny (Matt Damon), the lead singer of a college band, and are treated to a performance of the song "Scotty Doesn't Know", a song that crudely details the affair.
