I watched it once in the 90s when I was like 15. Haven't had any desire to ever rewatch it since.

I doubt most 15 y/o's would understand it to any significant degree. I recommend reading the book and rewatching.

Love this movie as well. It's always fun talking to someone who just saw it for the first time and they go "WTF did I just watch?" and then want to watch it again.

An older couple left about about 30 minutes in after the sped up sex with underage girls scene. I don't think they cared for it.


They probably got off by it and went to the bathroom for a quickie.

Had to read the book in 8th or 9th grade at BM. We then watched the movie in class.

"So I tell the swamp donkey to sock it before I give her a trunkey in the tradesman's entrance and have her lick me yarballs"

Eurotrip and ACO are an excellent representation of the finer linguistic qualities of the English language.

Went back to the way he was, if not worse.

Not exactly an appropriate book for 14-15 year olds, but then again, the book portrays antisocial behavior of said age group, so I guess it was kind of like a big picture lesson by the teacher.

Furthermore, your teacher got away with showing the movie in class?
