Trivia:

Arthur Frommer's e-mail address, as shown on his business card, is [e-mail].

Goofs:

Factual errors: During the scene in the Vatican, one of the characters tolls Saint Marcus' bell accidentally and then sets the Pope's hat on fire, while the other tosses the hat to the fireplace, sending white smoke out of a chimney and finally appearing in a balcony in front of a crowd in Saint Peter's square. As all these elements are located in different buildings (the Pope's apartment is in the Apostolic Palace; the bell and the balcony are in Saint Peter's cathedral and the chimney belongs to the Sixtine Chapel), so the scene is impossible.

Really Funny

I just saw this at a second run theater and I found it to be very hilarious.

Funniest movie since Road Trip in my opinion.

Scotty's girl dumps him on graduation day, so he decides to find his internet friend in Europe, only to be taken for one heck of a ride. Along for the ride with Scotty are his friend Cooper (who looks and sounds like David Spade) and twins Jenny and Jamie.

The characters are likable, which really helps in this kind of movie.

Some surprise cameos also pop up.

I'll be adding adding this to my DVD collection for sure.
