I was an instant fan of the first Inbetweeners TV series. But the sit com was always going to have a short shelf life due to its restrictive setting.
There was barely enough room for manoeuvre to make the three TV series and a film, although conceptually sound, was never going to be a hit.
There are only so many times you can get away with telling the same old 'mum' jokes before they get tired and tedious.
The characters recognise this and begin to comprehend they are growing up and moving on into adulthood. This gives the film a touching, sentimental feel. The movie is a definite farewell, right from the start you feel like the characters are swimming out to sea and not leaving anything for the return.
The film is moderately funny, sometimes the old comedy magic from the first series sparks but can't quite ignite.
Expect nob gags and vagina references aplenty.
It is worth watching just to get closure on the franchise and to know that the characters are off living their lives at college etc. but are no longer inbetween.
