The Inbetweeners Movie

Will, Jay, Simon and Neil are going the way of Kevin and Perry and hitting the big screen for a larger than life adventure if a mature nature. When Simon is left heart broken by long time love intrest Carly, Jay and the rest of the guys decide the best way to help there grieving friend and celebrate the end of their school lives is to embark on a wild lads holiday to Malia. Let loose the carnage of chasing after girls and drinking endless amounts of alcohol and as always the many awkward situations the group find themselves constantly facing, will this trip be the shining entrance into mature life or will they sink and find themselves sleeping face first in an ants nest, most likely a mixture of both as the finale of the Inbetweeners ends abroad.

What can i say each of the guys shines with the same grace as the series maybe even stepping it up a notch and making you actually care about the predicaments the four rowdy lads face. Simon Bird (Will) shows the pretentious twerp who can never say the right thing even when he means well, with Joe Thomas (Simon) still portraying the soppy teenager who still even on holiday can't put Carly, the supposed love of his life out of his head and reveals he's as naive as he is soppy when it comes to romance. Blake Harrison (Neil) steps up to the plate of the painfully naive and in no way innocent member who's dancing seems to be the main draw to the ladies, somehow. Last but not least is the filthiest, depraved and genuinely completely out of sync with reality is James Buckley (Jay) while showing to be the shallow and crude friend who can come up with over a million absurdities to offend and insult, he like the other guys show on the big outing that he has something that can at a distance be seen as appeal. With each of the boys pushing further the archetypal features of their characters and reinforcing them, they may not add anything new but they sure hit home with what we were expecting and more.

As i said it doesn't offer anything new, if you weren't a fan of the Inbetweeners this won't change your mind. Yet if you were a fan it does the impossible by actually making even more ludicrous situations for the guys and even surpasses what they've gone through before and you would know how bad that would make it. Essentially this is one extended episode of awkward situation after awkward situation and to be honest i have to admit i went in as not the biggest fan out there but thought the series was good for light entertainment, yet i found myself laughing out loud a lot. So the scenarios are up scaled, the booze is fresh in the air and the boys are back in a new town and heading to the night clubs. It may not be the greatest comedy of all time and yes some of the jokes may be fairly out there but it's a finale to give the boys a good send off, with that it offers entertainment for any youthful adolescent bored and wanting to see a youthful, British version of outrageous comedy.

Impossibly the fourth in the franchise isn't a mission too far and proves itself a worthy edition.
