I just finished watching this movie, and I really liked it. I'm 25 year old woman, so it's not the nudity or whatever that appeals to me. There are some really funny moments and non-outlandish characters in a very outlandish plot (sometimes comedies tend to have one very annoying very over-exaggerated character which this did not have). I remember when this movie came out in 2004, and it was screened at my college (the exterior shots of the college are filmed at UCLA where I was a student even), but I didn't make it out to the sneak peak. I just remember hearing that Matt Damon had a cameo. Lots of my friends watched and liked it, but they usually say that about every free movie they saw. So it took me some years to finally get to it, and it's really funny. The Robot Mime scene is great, the "hash" brownie scenes, omg, so hilarious...and I liked how everything fell into place or connected. Underrated. I think it's right up there with Superbad and Pineapple Express to me now.
As for your European trip, I watched The Spanish Apartment the summer I came home from a trip to Spain, and it made the movie just extra special to me. There's one scene when they're at a club/bar that I also visited, so it was fun to see it on film.

25 year old women and the appeal of nudity...these are not mutually exclusive...plus, there's lots of male nudity as well, such as the sausage-fest at the nude beach.
