The Inbetweeners 2 - 29/08/2014
My brother recently posted a question, "what has been the funniest TV show in the last 5 years?", and put The Inbetweeners forward as his choice. Now I have to agree that there were many funny points to the show, the first film was not up there in comedy highlights.
The film has the four friends, Simon, Neil, Will and Jay venturing to Australia for a few weeks holiday. The usual antics and search for pussay continues. With Jay's lies, Neil's stupidity, Simon's obsessed girlfriend and Will's annoying personality, hilarity should ensue from the very start. It didn't.
Neil seemed to be excessively stupid, I don't know if this was due to him failing to continue in education or the writer just got carried away, Simon was terrible, his delivery of lines felt like he was just reading everything from the script onto screen, Jay's lies got worse and worse and Will is just Will.
There were some bits that raised a smile, and the sections of just the four friends chatting worked. Everything else just seemed too much. More money was put to the sequel and it felt like they had to do more to warrant the bigger budget. Many of the jokes and puns fell flat, the side characters were really annoying and there was not really much going on to entertain.
About 45 mins into the film I asked Clare if she wanted to go, but she felt confident that something interesting or funny was going to happen soon....it didn't
I can honestly say that this is the worst film I have seen this year (and I have seen some real rubbish - What If?/Delivery Man) and the Inbetweeners definitely do not rank high on the "best TV comedy in the last 5 years" anymore
