==Reception==
===Critical response===
Review aggregation website [[Rotten Tomatoes]] gives
In her review for ''[[Salon (website)|Salon]]'', Stephanie Zacharek wrote, "The giddy ridiculousness of ''Eurotrip'' is a pleasant surprise: The picture starts out slow and unsteady in its rhythms. But just when you begin to wonder if it’s ever going to get funny, or if it’s going to be merely desperate all the way through, it lifts off like a wobbly helicopter—and somehow it keeps flying."<ref name="salon">{{cite news |last=Zacharek |first=Stephanie |title=EuroTrip |work=Salon.com |url=http://www.salon.com/2004/02/20/eurotrip/ |

===Legacy===
Although not as successful at the box office as the producers' ''[[Road Trip (2000 film)|Road Trip]]'' (2000), ''EuroTrip'' did well on [[home video]] and became a [[cult classic]].{{r|ryan20180817}} Ultra Culture blogger [[Charlie Lyne]], who introduced a screening of the film in 2011 at the [[Institute of Contemporary Arts]], wrote in 2012 that "''EuroTrip'' is satire at its most brazenly self-loathing and audaciously entertaining".<ref name="ultra">{{cite web |title=EuroTrip, a somewhat definitive review |publisher=Ultra Culture |url=http://www.ultraculture.co.uk/7902-eurotrip-review-1.htm |access-date=January 20, 2012 |archive-date=January 8, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120108064937/http://www.ultraculture.co.uk/7902-eurotrip-review-1.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref>
