Most negative reviews seem to miss the point that the movie is not making stereotypes of European countries and cultures. It is making fun of American stereotypes of those cultures. While most comedies start funny and at some point get serious with a need for a plot that loses all the humor, EuroTrip keeps building momentum throughout. Watch it, and then watch it again.

A True Motion Picture (Icon)

If Eastern Orthodox icons are windows to heaven, depicting for us the eternal truths of salvation, then Ostrov is truly a moving icon worth venerating. It speaks of the power of God to heal through the most undeserving (in his own heart) man, whose own humility doesn't allow him to end his penance nor see the healing power of God's forgiveness for himself, while bestowing it to all those around him. This is not a hagiography of the Orthodox Church, as the pettiness of the monastics is contrast against the purity of heart of Fr. Anatoly. Rather, it is the fool for Christ that operates within the faith to bring healing to those that seek it.
