A bit funny but OK

First of all I have to say that I come from Slovakia. So lets deal with the movie first. Its really hard for me write something original now, because I read a few reports above, and while at the beginning everyone was caring about the main characters and everything, I have to say I was laughing my ass off on the first half of the movie. Lets ask some important questions first. Why do they talk Czech on the train station when our heroes come to Slovakia? Why do they talk Czech in the TV at the Hostel? Why are every signs on the walls in the streets in Czech? I mean come on, there ain't an actual word spoken in Slovak in the whole movie. Well maybe in the disco the music is Slovak, but thats already 20 years or more old songs. My parents used to listen to that music. At the beginning the Dutch guy tells them that this place is near Bratislava and it is true that Slovakia is on the border with the Czech republic, but shouldn't they have explained in the movie,like: "look there's a hostel near Bratislava the capital of Slovakia, but the hostel is in the Czech republic?" Another thing, obviously the movie was shot in the Czech republic, believe me I know my country and that just wasn't Slovakia at all. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to dis anybody and I am not saving my countries reputation, its just good to have some things made clear. The scenery gives us very raw images of central Europe, but thank God its imaginary. The places don't actually look like this in reality. Nevermind, these kind of things happen once in a while.
