I wanted to but couldn't!

I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

This is a teen comedy film which follows on from the British sitcom The Inbetweeners. The four main characters from the sitcom go on holiday together to Malia, a seaside resort on the Greek island of Crete. This is not as good as the sitcom, but it's better than most teen comedy films. It was followed by a sequel, The Inbetweeners 2.

If you want to watch a movie where you won't be challenged too much and just want to have a good laugh at some British humour then The Inbetweeners foray onto the big screen could be right up your street.Fans of the TV series will know what to expect and if you loved the TV show then you will like this. It goes along the same lines and each character is true to there TV self. The acting isn't amazing and there are a few gross out gags but by in large it's quite a fun watch and I found myself laughing at most of it. It won't be the funniest or wittiest comedy you have ever seen but as a piece of entertainment it's worth a watch.

This is written by Damon Beesley and Iain Morris, and directed by Ben Palmer who all worked on the TV series as well. I knew nothing about this movie, I had never watched the TV show nor any clips or trailers of the movie, I just had seen some positive reviews in Empire and TotalFilm magazines. Therefore, I had it added in my watchlist and finally was in mood of watching it.This is a silly teenage comedy and you can say this is the British version of American Pie; same premise but obviously different jokes and humors. I should also say reviewing comedies, especially this type, would be different from reviewing drama or action, these movies shouldn't be taken seriously, you need to just take it easy and have fun. The story is about four high school friends who graduate and try to get laid, so it's obvious what type of the movie is going to be, and the movie starts very well with introducing these characters. These are all funny characters (even the supporting characters are funny) and there are many funny moments and scenes throughout the movie, which prevents you to be bored. I even like the music; it helps the scenes to be even funnier. The performances are fine, even though no one famous or well-known is in the movie, but the cast is filled with talents.Overall, I recommend it and if I only want to rate it in comedy genre, I'd say 8/10, but in general perhaps 7.5/10. However, if you don't like silly comedy this is probably a failure, so in that case don't bother to watch it.

The Inbetweeners on television is a fantastically funny show, so a movie to accompany the series and give the characters a broader adventure to go on was almost inevitable, and it went on to become the most profitable comedy of the year. Basically the four misfit friends, nerd- like Will McKenzie (Simon Bird, also narrating), foul-mouthed Jay Cartwright (James Buckley), slow-witted Neil Sutherland (Blake Harrison) and insecure Simon Cooper (Joe Thomas), along with all the others students at Rudge Park Comprehensive school have passed their A levels. Following depressing events, Jay's granddad dies, Simon is dumped by his girlfriend Carli D'Amato (Emily Head) and Will's Dad (Anthony Head) has married his young mistress, the boys decide to get away from it all, and to do this the boys book a holiday to Malia, Crete. When they arrive the accommodation is awful, and their first night is terrible as they spend it in an empty bar, but they do meet four attractive girls, Jane (Lydia Rose Bewley), Alison (Laura Haddock), Lucy (Tamla Kari) and Lisa (Jessica Knappett). As the holiday goes on the boys all get on with some of their own things rather than hang out with each other, and only occasionally hang out with the girls, Will picks on Alison having a cliché Greek boyfriend, Simon bores Lucy to death constantly talking about Carli who is also on holiday in Malia, Neil getting with much older women has hardly any talks with Lisa, and obnoxious Jay is disappointed to be hanging around with slightly chubby Jane. There comes a point when the boys do have some time together and a big argument ensues between Simon and Jay, who have been friends since primary school, and they break apart for a while, and it seems Will and Neil are going separate places as well. Eventually though they all meet again in the empty bar and make it up to each other, and they know that if they really care for the girls they have met the only place to go is the boat party they have been told about for a while. Alison with Will found her Greek boyfriend Nicos (David Avery) having sex with another girl, so she seeks Will out to ask him if they can be boyfriend-girlfriend to which he agrees and he loses his virginity. Neil has been ignoring Lisa and only having small conversations, but also she has been avoiding the talk of sex assuming he has a girlfriend back home, but he finally admits that they split some time ago and they do get intimate. Jane knows that for some time Jay has been concerned hanging around a larger girl and is afraid to be seen kissing or getting to close, she stands up for herself when required but is not happy with him, but he realises he does have real feelings for her and is not bothered what people think. Simon gets the opportunity to go on the boat for the party and is initially keen to get back together with Carli, but talking to her he realises he no longer has any real feelings for her and has become much closer to Lucy, the other guys knew this as well, so he swims back to be with her, and despite nearly drowning he is rescued and taken ashore where they do kiss. Also starring Greg Davies as Mr. Gilbert, Belinda Stewart-Wilson as Polly MacKenzie, Theo James as James and Alex Macqueen as Kevin Sutherland. The four lead stars all make their characters the most fun and individually are all the most lovable, whether it be during the situations they get themselves in or with each other bickering and poking fun. I admit that the film was maybe not as over the top some of the time as the near cult television show, but being full of foul mouthed language, dirty jokes, some gross stuff and a feel like Kevin & Perry Go Large it is a good fun comedy film. Good!
