For me, the first film wasn't at the standard of the TV series, but I was accepting of that because films rarely are as good as the series. I was disappointed that they then decided to milk it one last time with a second film, which bares no real relevance and adds no real closure to the previous title. It isn't as if the first film ended on a cliff-hanger, it's not as if they had to close anything off. For me, this was a film made for the money they knew they could make. Okay it's funny, but it's very average and easy humour. The Inbetweeners should have remained as just the 3 series, but I understood why they'd want a grand slam finish with a movie, but the second was unnecessary. I'd watch it again, but it's not something I'd jump at watching. More of pass time than a hobby.

A squeal that didn't suck and actually was better than the first movie. The story to The Inbetweeners: Movie 2 is basically about Neil, Simon, and Will join Jay on his gap year in Australia. If your not a fan of these sex jokes and these dick jokes or your not a fan of the series, then this is not the movie for you, but if you are then this movie will make you laugh and smile. This movie is more funny and even more gross then the first movie and the TV show. The characters have all there moments to shine in this film and the Jokes were so funny that everybody in the cinema laughed there ass off. P.S "See you later benders".

As a massive fan I went to see this the first day, but tried not to have expectations which were too high. I have to say I was a little bit disappointed. I laughed out loud about three times and the other seems were mildly amusing. Scenes were too fast paced at times but then other times they seemed to drag. The story line just wasn't there for me. It could have been so much better. It was all a bit samey, I know these characters are ones we know and love, but seriously, the plot had pretty much even done before. Will chasing a blonde who is using him and ditching his mates. Jay crying about a girl that dumps him. Simon between a rock and a hard place with a girl. Neil, well just been Neil but more stupid then ever. Its all been done in the series and the first film and just regurgitated. The plot was weak on which most of the jokes were based. Lots about the travellers they meet and how they are 'British gappies' who think they are renowned travellers. Just wasn't that funny, or obviously funny. And the ending was far too rushed and abrupt. What annoyed me most is the fact that these characters have not grown at all. They are still exactly the same as they were at the beginning of the series. Yes we love these characters, don't change their personalities, but let them evolve a little bit. They are exact the same only even more annoying and exaggerated. Eg. Jay so obsessed with gash that it's not funny anymore. Will has no friends at uni - that just wouldn't happen. What was funny about the show was its realism and realistic scenes. That been said it is well worth a watch if you are a fan. Just don't get too excited!

The first film was a complete and utter let down, they took a step away from their Comedy roots and went for a Rom-Com and failed across the board, anyway back to this one. The film starts off with Jay (James Buckley) giving us a wonderfully and the lads an overly dramatised version of his life living down under in the land of Aus working in a top nightclub calling himself "DJ Big Penis", back in sunny ol' England, Simon (Joe Thomas) is in University studying sociology and still dating his girlfriend from the first film Lucy (Tamla Kari) who is now an absolute psychopath to say the least. While Will (Simon Bird) is also at University having the same luck he as always had when it comes to friends, then we have Neil (Blake Harrison) living his deluded happy life as he always has done. The three lads stuck at home decided to go to surprise Jay and flight to Australia for a visit, they arrive in the top night club in which "DJ Big Penis" is claimed to be working, they find Jay working in the toilets in the club. Will bumps into an old friend Katie (Emily Berrington) who he claims was his first love, she persuades him to go to Byron Bay where Will meets a rival for her heart Ben (Freddie Stroma) a guitar playing, trust fund inheriting, dreadlock rocking douchebag, type of person you want to fail at life. As the film unravels, we find out Jay has an ulterior motive for moving to Australia, he has his own little "side mission" shall we say, leading him to have some extremely memorable scenes. I don't want to delve any more into the story without giving away pivotal parts of the film, however don't be expecting a perfect script the film is all about the gags and boy does it deliver in that department. Overall, in my honest opinion it is at least ten times the film the first one tried to be, where the first relied heavily one the romance and letting the comedy slide, the second has its romantic elements but never lets it get in the way of some of the funniest moments in films in recent years. The film is full to the brim of gut busting laughs, I advise you buy it on DVD/Blu-Ray when you can because you will need to pause at times to catch your breath. There's a laugh for each of Jays apparent lovers, all 6,004 of them ha.

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.

The Inbetweeners is up there with my favourite comedy series of all time. I love all the characters involved and the situations they find themselves in absolutely hilarious. The first film I thought was good as well but in my opinion this 2nd film was better. It seemed more like the original TV series and it was pretty much non stop laughter. There were a few scenes in particular where I was close to tears, especially Will going down the waterside! It was great to have the lads back on our screens again and I don't think this will be the last we see of them. If you're thinking of watching this then make sure you watch the series 1st to get used to the characters or the jokes may pass you by. Overall it was pure "bants" 9/10

Actually in Germany they still used the title they gave the first Inbetweeners movie, which was Sex on the beach. Now they added "Down under" which stands clearly for Australia ... well and probably something else, but I don't have to point that joke out for you I reckon. Apart from weird German titles, this has a few things that work better than in the first movie, but the first had a different kind of charm. Well at least for someone like me, who hadn't seen the TV show (and still hasn't). The four boys are at it again, though one of them seems to have hit the mother-load over in Australia. Which is the starting point of the new adventure and the reason they all find themselves in Australia. Predictable? Yes. Still funny? Also yes
