"perennially familiar for anyone under the age of thirty"

Film Ultra Culture reviews Eurotrip:
"EuroTrip has proved a surprisingly enduring piece of pop cultural currency, and not only in the £3 bin of most HMVs (though it inevitably does well there too). Sequences like the Parisian robot fight and Cooper’s hot tub subterfuge seem to be perennially familiar for anyone under the age of thirty, even if they don’t quite represent the film’s finest moments. The latter scene was originally conceived while Berg, Mandel and Schaffer were doing rewrites on snowboarding comedy Out Cold, but they liked it so much that they eventually decided to save it for their own movie. That three professional screenwriters would be so excited about a sequence that’s essentially just an excuse to see an 18-year-old rubbing her tits for a bit is further evidence that they might not be the modern-day Swifts I’m so tempted to paint them as."
The film is on BBC One tonight at a quarter to midnight and there's a round up of UC's other coverage here. I'm embarrassed to say it's also one of my favourite films.
