TV sitcom spin-off updates the teen summer holiday
A member from Dublin, 02 Jun 2012
Formula surprisingly entertainingly, considering it doesn't subvert it one iota. Most of that entertainment value is at the expense of our four naive suburban teen heroes, who embark on a post-sixth form Mediterranean jaunt with impossibly high hopes. "It'll be like shooting clunge in a barrel," one of them delicately puts it, which proves to be far from the case – unless they make good with those four unfeasibly obliging and sympathetic girls they keep running into, but what are the chance of that? The gags come crude, fast and in a language the target audience will understand, and the worst of the humour is offset by some fond observation of British holiday rituals and the witty, preternaturally mature narration of Will (Simon Bird), the glasses-wearing intellectual of the gang. He's like a young David Mitchell trapped in an episode of Ibiza Uncovered.

As expected

If you are a fan of the Inbetweeners on TV this is well worth a look. Slightly edgier than the TV series but very funny. Highly recommended.
Best dance scene, ever

That was such a funny movie, even though with very rude language. I enjoyed and had to watch the dance scene several times, incredible.

Likeable and fun, but totally predictable. Just a longer episode really.
