The Inbetweeners 2
Neil, Will and Simon receive an invite from Jay to join him in Australia whilst on his gap year, who promises them it’s ”the sex capital of the world”. With their lives now rather dull compared to their hedonistic school days and legendary lads holiday, it’s an offer they can’t refuse. Once again, they put growing up temporarily on-hold, and embark on a backpacking holiday of a lifetime in an awful car, inspired by Peter Andre’s ‘Mysterious Girl’. Will soon finds himself battling with the lads to do something cultural, whilst they focus their attention on drinking, girls, and annoying fellow travelers.

Excellent, Without a doubt!!
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
That girl who plays kathy is unbelievably irritating. Awful annoying voice and terrible actress.
The boys go down underStarring Simon Beard, James Buckley, Blake Harrison and Joe Thomas.Written by Damon Beesley and Iain MorrisDirected by Damon Beesley and Iain Morris.I must admit I have a soft spot for the Inbetweeners.I'm a bit of a closet fan of the series and the movies and this one was no disappointment. The humour is a bit of an acquired taste and at times it's pretty off the wall stuff. At times it's pretty childish and shouldn't really work but it does. It wasn't really like watching a movie, it was more like watching a feature length episode. There was nothing really movie like about it. But it worked and it is funny.Watch this if you want to have a good laugh.10/10
I enjoyed The Inbetweeners when it was on TV. The show was always very funny and enjoyable, and I was disappointed when the show ended. The Inbetweeners Movie felt like a long episode of the show but nonetheless it was still funny and enjoyable. The same can't be said for The Inbetweeners Movie 2. It was as if the writers were scrapping the bottom of the barrel for laughs and when they couldn't come up with good ideas, they resorted to disgusting and repulsive humour which ruined the movie. It's such a shame because judging from the early trailers which came out, the movie looked very promising and had a lot of potential to be funny. Even the teaser trailer that came out has me laughing my head off.The Inbetweeners Movie 2 sees the immature and socially inept quartet from the show reunite for this sequel which includes Will McKenzie (Simon Bird), Jay Cartwright (James Buckley), Neil Sutherland (Blake Harrison), and Simon Cooper (Joe Thomas). This time Will, Simon and Neil head to Australia after Jay invites them to come over as he is enjoying his gap year in Australia. When the gang finally reunite in Sydney, it turns out Jay who is a renowned compulsive liar has told them tall tales of his adventures and endless conquests with hot women when really none of it was true at all. The gang head up to Byron Bay after an old friend of Will's from back home in England Katie (Emily Berrington) invites them to join her in Byron Bay. The gang continuously riles up other travellers including Ben (Freddie Stroma) and Simon is trying to break up with his girlfriend back home Lucy (Tamla Kari) as she has become very possessive of Simon and has severe personality issues. The movie sees the gang endure mishap after mishap while in Byron Bay and across the outback.The Inbetweeners Movie 2 is not a good advertisement for Australia as the movie has lowered itself by reducing the humour to disgusting toilet humour and poor sex jokes. Jokes which involve male genitals, excrement, and over the top crude sex jokes are just not funny at all. It just does not work whatsoever. Unfortunately laughs are too far and few between with brief moments of humour popping up from time to time. In no way does it redeem this movie. Even the ending was very abrupt and leaves you with a very unsatisfying feeling. It was as if the movie has run out of ideas and had decided to end it right there.The Inbetweeners Movie 2 was a totally disappointing and unmemorable experience which ruined any good memories of the show. The show was a memorable and enjoyable classic and I would like to re-watch the show again some day. Even the first Inbetweeners movie was funny, although not the greatest. I don't think there should be any further sequels now as this is far as The Inbetweeners can go. Please don't ruin it for us fans of the show by producing another crappy sequel.4/10.
There seem to be two camps of people: those who loved the 'Inbetweeners' TV series and hate their filmic outings and those who loved the TV series and also enjoyed the films. Basically, I have yet to meet anyone who didn't enjoy the three series (so track them down if you haven't already) and yet the films do tend to divide people.Perhaps both films rely too much on the boys meeting (and therefore interacting) with other characters, instead of concentrating on the banter between the quartet. Plus the story – obviously – has to be stretched out to the full hour and a half length, rather than the 'snappier' twenty-two minute episode length. And, in my opinion, the second film actually surpasses the first in terms of sheer laughs. Yes, it's still not as 'punchy' as the shorter-length episodes, but I found it generally funnier overall than its predecessor.Basically, if you already know what sort of humour you'll be subjected to in 'The Inbetweeners' movies then you should like this. If you don't, you really better check out a TV episode or two before you chance one of their films. The film, like the series, charts the seemingly never-ending exploits of four hormonally-charged teenage boys and their experiences in wooing the opposite gender. And it's filled with crudeness, lewdness and generally scenes that will make you want to be sick in a swimming pool (you'll have to actually watch the film to get that one).Don't expect a great plot. Don't expect anything other than a fun film, packed with adult humour which guys will probably be able to relate to, based on their own experiences as hormonally-charged teenagers where nothing/no one seems to go their way. Yes, it's not quite as sharp as the TV series, but it's still a fun way to send the boys off in style.
