The Inbetweeners

The Inbetweeners Movie

This is probably going to be quite controversial but after all the hype and build up for this film I have to say that I left feeling a little disappointed......

Set in Malia, The Inbetweeners movie follows Jay, Neil, Simon and Will on a lads holiday after they finish their final year at school. Its two weeks filled with sun, sea, sand, clubs, alcohol and sex. And to be honest....thats about it....!! Unsurprisingly, the lads book a cheap clubbing holiday and end up being stuck in a grotty old hotel. They meet a group of girls on the first night and each fall for one of them by the end of the film. The story line is predictable, lazy and sloppy and it felt like they were trying too hard to be funny...

Any real 'Laugh Out Loud' moments were very few and far between, the plot was lacking in substance or story line (and the acting wasn’t great either.....). I know they aren't trying to re-create Shakespeare but some ryhmye or reason would have been nice. The film is pretty stereotypical and even though the cast specified that they didnt't want the film to come across as one long episode of The Inbetweeners, well sadly, thats all it was.
One of my favourite scenes was the dancing scene (part of it is shown in the trailer). This is something that will be replicated in clubs up and down the country I'm sure!!!!

Maybe this is one for the guys but for me it doesn't compare to the likes of The Hangover and Bridesmaids, and old school comedy classics like Kevin and Perry Go Large. I expected to leave the cinema with tears streaming down my face and my sides sore with laughter, sadly I didn't. Don't get me wrong, I've definitely seen worse but I just wasn't blown away.
