''[=EuroTrip=]'' breaks the mold of many teen comedies, in that it never actually crosses the line from 'kind of goofy' to 'gross slapstick', and actually succeeds in inserting a bit of warmth and heart into the story.

* RidiculousExchangeRates: The movie [[ArtisticLicenseEconomics fails economics forever]] by depicting the Slovakian koruna as this, when in fact its last exchange rate was 1 dollar = 22 koruna. Slovakia's subsequent adoption of the euro in 2009 makes the depiction even stupider.

A failed state with a Ridiculous Exchange Rate would not be able to get in.[[/note]]
