Storyline

He is unceremoniously dumped by his whorish girlfriend Fiona on graduation day. Among the people he turns to in his hour of despair is his German pen pal, Mike. Scott and Mike seem to have a special connection. After Mike makes advances to Scott now that he and Fiona are not seeing each other, Scott abruptly sends Mike a message saying he never wants to hear from him again.

Trivia

Parents in Ontario complained that the "14A" rating was too loose for this movie (with pervasive sexual content and nudity) so heavy ID checks were used while requesting tickets at the movie theaters.

Goofs

As Scott and Cooper walk towards "The Feisty Goat" Scott says that there is no drinking age in Britain. This is not true - the minimum age to buy alcohol in a pub is 18, but from the age of 16 you can have one unit of alcohol with a meal in a restaurant.

SOOOO Funny

I love all types of movies, but I didn't expect to like this one. It looked like another stupid teen comedy to me. I was so surprised at how hilarious this was. I was rolling on the floor laughing my ass off. My new favorite song is "Scotty Doesn't Know!" And while this movie doesn't properly represent Europe and it's style and it's culture, it does enlist every stereotype Americans have about Europeans, and that's what makes it so damn funny. This movie is definitely one of my new favorites, and is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. If you just want to laugh at everything that's wrong with the world, then this is totally something you need to see.
