Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The biggest issue is just the narrative! Example, Will bumps into a girl by accident within a few hours of travelling round the world and it was s girl he went to school with?! Jays dads brother is Australian?!? Jay doesn't seem surprised to see his 3 mates from the otherside of the world?! Has the feel of a first draftDialogue is quite funny, the only positive

With The Inbetweeners Movie (2011) storming to box-office and critical success, it was never going to be the last time we saw Will (Simon Bird), Jay (James Buckley), Neil (Blake Harrison) and Simon (Joe Thomas) on the big screen. You would expect the sequel to make things bigger and better, but while number 2 certainly feels more 'film-y' than its predecessor, things are kept relatively low-key here. While it thankfully resists any urge to throw in a wild plot and favours something more grounded (the boys are so lovable because they're relatable), it basically repeats the same story as their disastrous holiday to Crete. The destination this time around is Australia.With Will experiencing unhappiness at University (his house-mates demonstrate their attitudes towards him with a brilliantly worked gag), Simon struggling to deal with his bunny-boiling girlfriend Lucy (Tamla Kari), and Neil doing very little at all, the three decide to join Jay back-packing in Australia. Jay claims to be a top nightclub DJ, living in a mansion with supermodels who wake him every morning with a blow job. He is actually working as a toilet attendant, and is staying in a tent outside his uncle's house. Simon is convinced by old school friend Katie (Emily Berrington) to join her and her backpacking mates to see the 'real side of Australia', naturally with a detour to a water park, and the four tag along where embarrassment and uncomfortable sexual adventures await them.While Australia is vast and beautiful, we see very little of it here, favouring youth hostels and tourist hotspots that, if anything, makes it look like were watching a feature-length episode on E4. The cast is made up is mainly Britons, and the only main Australian character we meet is Jay's 'shrimp on the barbie' stereotype uncle. The female characters also are resigned to roles of tease and psychopathic harpy, as opposed to the well-rounded female foursome we met in the first movie. Although there's a couple of hilarious set-pieces - s**t in the face is always a winner - this just isn't as funny as it should be, with more focus on pushing the boundaries of gross-out humour rather than developing the odd relationship between these best friends who have very little in common. Series creators Damon Beesley and Iain Morris and the main cast have all said that this is it for The Inbeweeners, but I'm sure, despite the mediocrity this time around, they'll be back on our screens at some point in the future.

I have never watched the TV series but watched the first movie which was better than OK, so we watched this the other night and although not hating it, found it pretty weak. It is not really a film but a series of set plays, sketches, linked together by a really flimsy plot, story line. It comes across as trying way to hard and tries to be the Young Ones without much of the wit, humour and style. One or two funny moments, I believe one of the actors has given up on the franchise, wise choice. I am not going into the story line as there is no point it is really immaterial and just passes time until the next sketch is reached.

Review: I wasn't a big fan of this movie because I'm not really into this style of comedy. I'm sure that this film will appeal to a certain type of audience but watching 4 teenagers going around Sydney doing silliness, didn't appeal to me. I wasn't a big fan of the first movie but I thought that I would give this movie a chance because of its box office success. This typical English comedy seemed more silly than funny but the chemistry between the 4 teenagers was believable and we'll acted. Personally, I just couldn't get to grips with the jokes and the strange script which went a bit too far in some scenes. On the plus side, you do end up sticking with the movie because you want to see what happens to this bunch of misfits, but the storyline goes from one extreme to the next and I didn't really find it that amusing. Disappointing!Round-Up: If your fans of the series or the first movie, then this movie is for you but I struggled to stay interested. Although every character is completely different from each other, they all seem to do stupid things which anyone in this day and age would find really embarrassing. Anyway, the makers of the film should be pleased because it has had the biggest takings for an opening week ever, in the English comedy genre, so my comments will most probably not go down well with a majority of its audiences. Budget: N/A Worldwide Gross: $63millionI recommend this movie to people who are into their English comedies about a group of friends who go to Sydney to meet up with there friend so they can have the holiday of a lifetime. 3/10
