The Inbetweeners (2011) film review

Though it’s still definitely better to go to see The Inbetweeners film with low expectations, the reality is that it actually works pretty well. It’s consistently funny throughout, and despite a couple of very rare duff jokes and a few cheesy scenes towards the end, it’s managed to avoid going too large for the cinema.

I think one of the best things to say about The Inbetweeners film is that it’s at least as funny as the series was, so for the fans it is a great continuation of the story, giving team briefcase winker a pretty decent send off at the movies. The setting of Malia in Crete was one of the biggest reasons for any trepidation about the film, but actually it all comes together pretty well.

With Simon getting chucked by his girlfriend Carly, and Will coming to the conclusion that he should have a normal lads holiday before going to work his briefcase to the bone at University, the guys head out for sun, sea, sex, sand, booze, sex, f*nny and sex. However, it’s not all plain sailing and the many close scrapes, shaves and near beatings provide some of the best comedy moments of the film.

The Inbetweeners film is massively funny, subtle in parts with a big dose of larger than life gross out humour. Jay doesn’t spend the whole film saying “clunge” and “friends”, there’s no over the top acting or scenes and the addition of a new group of girls for the guys to drool over is ace.

The Inbetweeners film review: 3.7/5
