I really enjoyed the movie, it felt like a follow on from the series and had the same humour and nothing was changed it is just a carry on from the sixth form days.

hwangeruk17 August 2011Most people probably know what they are going to get before entering the cinema. So sniffy pseudo intellectuals should probably stay clear. But if you're the sort of person who liked the TV series, doesn't think they are a "chav" by eating McDonalds and likes fart jokes then you will really enjoy this movie. The whole audience laughed out loud on many occasions. No its not a clever plot, but they do manage to purvey a slice in time where we are all making the mistakes we all do as we move from adolescence into adulthood. The primary characters maintain their chemistry (which must only come with having now spent so much time with each other). You don't eat a cheese sandwich expecting a Michelin star, and so it is when watching this movie. Its silly, funny, cringe worthy humour. I really enjoyed it, and I imagine a good many others will too.

Jonathon_Natsis16 November 2011Despite this British sitcom's surprisingly far-reaching fan base (not a single seat of the four hundred in my cinema was left unoccupied) I still find myself having to explain the show to family members, casual acquaintances and my favourite movie-loving cab driver on the way home.
So, a quick recap. The premise is simple: we follow four friends on the fringe of social status, somewhere between the 'normal kids' and the 'freaks', as they meander their way through high school and its teenage perils. There's the nerdy but level-headed narrator Will (Simon Bird), selfish relationship-dependent Simon (Joe Thomas), compulsive liar and big-noter Jay (James Buckley) and lovable dimwit Neil (Blake Harrison). The film picks up, naturally, during the last day of school. The boys decide to book a party holiday to Greece to help Simon get over his break-up with Carli, but things get hairy when Simon, who is at the furthest point from being over his ex, spots her on the same trip.
If I had to justify why I loved this film with one sentence, it would be this: at no point does it stray from the formula that made the show so refreshing. The humour is there, as are the scenes of incredible social awkwardness, but this consistency begins with proper characterisation. Every fan of the show has a personal favourite, and should be pleased to hear that their move to the big screen has not coerced creators Beesley and Morris into thinking they should customise the characters to suit a wider audience. By the end of the film, each of the four is in an inherently better position in their life than they were two hours ago, but how they all get there remains entrenched in typical Inbetweeners fashion.
What does this mean exactly? It means that the screenplay puts individual character development on the backburner for most of the film, instead preferring to fill every scene with a truckload of jokes ranging from slapstick, the spoken word and a merciless array of cringe-worthy moments; the kind that have become the niche of the series. In any other genre this could be considered a sour point, but comedies are granted exceptions on the basis that they exist primarily to entertain, not to provide a moral, or indeed, much deep thinking at all. Does each character learn something about their life through their experience in Greece? Sure. Should we expect them to let the rest of their life be guided by these same profound moments of clarity? I doubt it.
Anyone even slightly familiar with the series would be aware of its unrelentingly crude subject matter, which some might interpret as vulgar or even offensive. That's a personal call, and while it doesn't concern my comedic sensibilities in the slightest, I must warn the more politically correct among us that this is not a movie for you. Few social taboos are left undisturbed, and when you couple this with the notion that filmmakers can get away with a lot more on the big screen (a saying that rings especially true for The Inbetweeners), it is recommended that fence-sitters have a long think about how they feel about the series, lest they return home with the unexplained compulsion to take a boiling hot bath and scrub until a little skin comes off.
If I had to make a couple of minor criticisms, I would say that a handful of party clichés are overdone (see: front-on shots of friends walking in slow- motion through a club with big grins on their faces) and that some realism is lost when Simon appears too gullible to be believed (you'll know it when you see it). However, these moments are few and far between, and fail to detract from making this the funniest movie I've seen in a good few years.

Red_Identity10 December 2012Seeing the mixed response this movie got here in the US definitely had me lowering my expectations. I finished the show in two weeks and is now one of my favorite TV comedies ever, so I was seeing this film either way. As it stands, this definitely does the series justice. Oh, it definitely wasn't anything out of the ordinary or unpredictable, but just like the show, it's able to still be completely hilarious and really touching when it comes down to it. The four characters have deeply resonated with me, and the movie just further expands their arcs in mostly successful ways. Even though the movie may not have the freshness the series has many times, it works because it still has the same humor, and the characters are definitely true to themselves. It's a riot!
-
The Inbetweeners Movie successfully captures the essence of the TV series while avoiding the trap of simply feeling like an extended episode. It retains the show's trademark voiceover and crude humour, which is even taken up a notch in the film.
The plot follows a familiar narrative as Will, Simon, Jay, and Neil embark on a summer holiday before heading off to university and parting ways. Although there are no real surprises, enough jokes land throughout the film's runtime to allow the predictable storyline to be overlooked.
While the acting skills of the four main actors may not always reach the highest level, their charm and likability compensate for any shortcomings. The addition of four new female characters brings a breath of fresh air to the film, as each actress is well-cast and complements her male counterpart admirably.
Similar to the show, some jokes work better than others. While it was crucial to maintain the show's distinctive humour, there were instances where the gags felt recycled, with Jay getting caught masturbating and Will's encounter with a disabled girl being near duplicates of previous jokes. These recycled gags felt lazy and unoriginal.
Despite these flaws, the movie serves as a fitting conclusion to the stories of Will, Simon, Jay, and Neil. Their characters experience more growth in this film than throughout the entire three-series run of the show. Although their arcs are straightforward, they felt satisfying to me as a fan, witnessing the four lads get to the place they've been aiming for all along. -
DavidYZ30 June 2017This is a teen comedy film which follows on from the British sitcom The Inbetweeners. The four main characters from the sitcom go on holiday together to Malia, a seaside resort on the Greek island of Crete.
This is not as good as the sitcom, but it's better than most teen comedy films. It was followed by a sequel, The Inbetweeners 2. -
If you are like me and you love the inbetweeners television show, then the movie will have been much anticipated. I am pleased to report that the movie is not a disappointment. Will, Simon, Jay and Neil are all together as the group head out to Malia for a lads holiday after leaving school. It is meant to be the holiday of a life time, but in classic inbetweeners style not everything goes to plan.
The film is meant to be a fair well to the guys after three very successful TV series and the lads go out in style. The opening of the film sees Simon being dumped by Carli, which gives Jay the idea that the group should leave their troubles behind and have a holiday full of drink, girls and many other things. The holiday shows the boys at the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, but in the end having the time of their lives.
These characters have made me laugh for the past couple of years on television and I was sad to hear that the third series would be the last. However I was pleasantly surprised when I heard about the movie being made. It would be a final send off to four of the funniest faces on TV. The film (just like the show) gives each character their own problems and triumphs as the film goes on and as we expect, some very embarrassing moments. The film is very funny and has numerous laugh out loud moments, but the great thing is the spirit of the film. It has a good heart and a script that gives the characters we care about fitting conclusions.
The credit has to be given to the writers Ian Morris and Damon Beesley who wrote the show as well. This is more then just a spin off from the show, it is a uplifting tale for the four boys full of plenty of laughs. I hope the film receives praise from the critics as it is more then just the comedy of the year, but in my mind one of the best films of the year.
Never disappointed or bored at any point in the film, the inbetweeners movie is a wonderful tale of coming of age. You will be pushed to find a more entertaining and funny film all year. I loved it! -
adamjohns-425751 July 2020Harkening back to Kevin & Perry Go Large, but perhaps a little less exaggerated, this film is a perfect representation of an 18-30's holiday. I have to say although I was creeping up towards the end of the age qualification when I went, I had the time of my life in Faliraki, which also included a boat trip, shots and fish bowls! What a great film to watch to bring back all the happy times I had there, I just wish I could at least remember somebody's name?
This film is the Inbetweeners cast doing what they do best, but on holiday and it works brilliantly. They are all such well developed characters that they can't fail to hit the spot with the practices behaviours, regular jokes and old faithful situations that they get in to, situated in a fresh new location.
Personally I was glad to see less of Greg Davies as I'm not his biggest fan and pleased to see lots of Joe Thomas, who has the cutest butt. He always makes me laugh, because he is so much like my friend Simon anyway.
Typical British lads on tour humour and just good fun. -
shevace18 August 2011This is the first review of ever been compelled to write - it's a direct result of having read some reviews in the media slating this film for not 'moving on the characters' etc...
As a huge fan of the TV series I was very nervous about how this film would go prior to it's release I told people 'I hope it's not the usual feature film formula - they go away, have fun, fall out, and reconcile for the final party' - I must say, and it won't spoil the film for anyone when I do, that's exactly what happens....but done with such brilliance no one will mind.
As has been stated by other reviewers the film is no more than an extended episode of the TV show - but when you 4 such perfect characters that is exactly how it should be. The cinema I watched it in was packed (with people of both genders and all ages) and in stitches from start to finish. The film, like the series, is so close to the truth regarding being 17/18 and the rubbish you get up to that you can't help but be dragged into the world of Neil, Jay, Simon and Will.
A wonderful ending to a wonderful series - the world is a sadder place without this comedy and, more importantly, these four characters. -
the_rattlesnake2517 August 2011The critically acclaimed E4 comedy series returns for its final swansong in the form of an hour and a half film which contains among other things, sun, sex, booze, sea, booze, and, er, well sex. It is essentially an extended episode, instead of rolling this out as a summer or Christmas special under differing circumstances, writers Damon Beesley and Iain Morris who were the primary writers on the television series, have shrewdly decidedly to capitalize on the series' short fame and enter the cinematic market instead. Will's (Simon Bird) narration returns as does the crude jokes and the toilet humour, but isn't that what made the 'Inbetweeners' so hilariously funny? It's a silly, contains a formulaic plot, and stereotypical characters, but what really makes the four boys work, is there childish banter, and sexual optimism that reminds us all of what it was like to be eighteen again.
The last time we saw them on the small-screen, they were finishing up a bonding trip into the woods as each one of them were on a knife edge deciding what they would do for the rest of their lives; university, or the meat-counter at ASDA with a potential promotion up to the check-out in the works? But before they must decide what to do for the rest of their lives (also known as the next five years) they have six weeks to think it over and take the obligatory 'lads holiday' which is an old, wise British tradition for any male who reaches the age of eighteen. The tradition consists of the boys going abroad to a country, which in this case is Malia, with plenty of sun, sea, sand, and bars, and seeing how much tolerance their body has to the effects of copious amounts of alcohol, before attempting to see if this makes them any more (or less) attractive to the fellow British revellers. Premise, nice, simple, and set, and the narrative pretty many rolls it's self out from here.
Again the stars of the show are the characters, with Will's offbeat precocious nature a nice alternative to the foul-mouthed tirades of Jay (James Buckley) which have seemingly got more and more crude as the television show has gone on. Neil (Blake Harrison) on the other hand acts as welcome relief, always guaranteeing to make a laugh out of any innocuous comment he makes, which is especially helpful during the scenes involving the continued romance between Simon (Joe Thomas) and Carly (Emily Head) as it is one of those aspects they should have left to die gracefully with the television series as it seemingly drags on and on with little in the way of a rewarding conclusion. While, Allison (Laura Haddock), provides the romantic interest for Will, and their scenes are somewhat touching as they both seem fish-out-of-water in this world of drinking for twenty hours, eating for two and sleeping for five minutes.
It will almost certainly come away empty handed when the awards season comes sweeping around in Britain, and it might not very favourable with the print and online critics, but it isn't half bad as it never tries to be anything more than an feature-length episode. The jokes are still there, Jay's miraculous lies crop up every now and again, a few old and new faces make welcome cameo's and the boys still get caught up in many embarrassing situations, the majority of which involve the involuntarily showcasing of their genitals. If you look beyond the unoriginal narrative, the one-dimensional primary protagonists, the stereotypical love interests, and the unsophisticated jokes, you will probably enjoy this film for what it is. -
TheDarragh23 August 2011**** may contain spoilers**** A frustrating one this. As a big screen adaptation, you are expecting to take your characters out of their comfort zone and on to the big screen. To do this you would expect a) a new setting (easily done), b) references to the small screen equivalents (minimal) and c) some depth and character development (non-existent).
In terms of b), references were thin on the ground. The characters were themselves, a few minor characters made cameos (John and Mark pale in comparison to Mr Gilbert's shining 30 seconds) but the word 'clunge' was decidedly absent. Did the producers not think people would 'get' this? No reference to Will 'almost' losing his virginity, when asked? In terms of c) this was most frustrating. The boys are at a crossroads in their lives, and the movie could have explored this. We get little hints of things about to change: Simon and Jay drifting apart, talk of University, Jay's ongoing Dad-issues; it's like these plot points are touched upon but not at all explored. Superbad is a great lesson in tastefully handled sub-plots like this.
Ultimately, a frustrating movie. It lacked the spark that the free-flowing dialogue of TV provided, as well as lacking the depth beyond 'dick & fart' jokes that the big screen requires. -
thesar-23 March 2013In the beginning, I was in-between feelings for The Inbetweeners Movie. I didn't find it bad by any means, and most of my feelings were based on my somewhat ignorance of British humor and lack of any knowledge of the TV program it's based on. I just thought, it's somewhat funny and I liked how the movie that reminded me a lot of the original American Pie but was very unabashed with its characters compared to how backwards we're here.
Luckily, as the movie progressed, it became more and more comical, hilarious and those four "boys" really grew on me – all individually.
Perhaps that was because I finally did get more used to the humor and understood more. But, I believe it was how invested I was getting with the depth (and hilarity) displayed in the main stars.
Yeah, if I saw the TV show – that I've never heard of before this screening – first, perhaps I'd already be into their individual personalities.
Here, nor there. This movie, brilliantly made to stand alone, follows four British lads after their (to us: High School) graduation and then immediately on holiday to Malia. Obviously, they're going there to get laid, boozed up, celebrate their friendship and let us enjoy their misadventures with four girls they meet.
The four guys are pretty much England's version of the American Pie dudes and each uniquely fun. Will, the cute and nerdy one, aside from his Austin Powers grill, is the virgin and smart alecky one. Jay's the horn-dog selfish one and Simon's the hung-up on his obviously bad-for-him ex-girlfriend. And finally, one I didn't like up front, but really grew on me: Neil, the jolly chap who's probably the horniest, most positive and innocent of all.
After awhile, I loved watching them and their interactions with the females, who were also entertaining. Enough so, I would like to get the series this was based on and then rewatch this supposedly movie made to close out the TV program.
Finally, from a personal perspective, its nice seeing how guys overseas aren't so hung up on sexuality and nudity as this prude country is. If you were to put a copy of American Pie and The Inbetweeners Movie in front of me, like all my other choices I make, I'll go with this – the unedited version. Any day. -
hugoollie19 August 2011If you love the inbetweeners TV series, YOU WILL LOVE THE MOVIE.It will have you laughing through out - and you will come out of the cinema thinking you want to watch it again.
I am not easily impressed by comedy movies, but if you like the jokes from the series there are a lot more coming your way! It was defiantly worth chipping out £5 to go and see this movie in the cinema, because there was a really good atmosphere in the cinema.
If you you like the inbetweeners don't listen to any bad reviews and please watch this movie and decide for yourself!
Peace -
ashhub13 December 2011I really wanted to like this as i loved the TV series but i thought it was a bit lacking~
Don't get me wrong there are funny moments but i think watching 2 TV episodes back to back would be funnier than this~
Some of the jokes didn't really work especially at the start and some were either old or obvious or seen before in the TV series~
I just felt that maybe the whole inbetweeners franchise has had its day~
While the TV show will probably be shown over and over on Gold i suspect the film will float off into the ether ~ shame~ -
Don't get me wrong - I loved The Inbetweeners series, which packed a freshness and sparkle that far outshone many of the pallid comedic offerings of the late noughties. In all accounts, sadly, I feel the film failed to capture the magic of the show.
The movie plot positively throbs with potential - horny teens, a chavvy holiday destination, a pot of money from a dead grandparent. What could go wrong? Sadly the characters proved utterly skin-deep, the jokes were sparse and predictable, and the finale an embarrassment with the characters' half-baked romances.
The television series were a warm and funny reflection on the trials of Brit adolescence. This film provides a few banal little holiday vignettes and a poo joke. Disappointing. -
shez-dogg8 January 2012This film had a lot of pressure mounting on it when it was announced. Everyone loved the show because it was superbly written and aptly acted, with great characters that one can relate to, so, if the movie was bad, the writers and actors would go from hero to zero.
Thankfully, that has not happened.
The Inbetweeners Movie is not a disaster. It is still very funny, still aptly acted and the jokes are still superbly written. Best moments include Neil's dancing, Jay's constant lies and horribly vulgar expressions and Will's witty narration.
The story isn't great, but that's not what anyone sees it for. It follows a standard pattern that isn't (and shouldn't be) very interesting, because if the writers got caught up in the story, it would lose humour.
One thing a film of a TV series should be is bigger than the show. The Inbetweeners Movie does this; they are in Malia, which is the furthest the characters have been since the school trip to the sea. They spend most of their time in awe of the clubs and parties; they have never seen anything like this before and neither have we. So that aspect is well done.
Where it falls down is when it tries to be more than it is. An example of this is Jay and Simon's discussion about university; it was one conversation that lasted about a minute, so, when the film does not complete this hanging thought, it leaves the viewer a little disappointed. They should have avoided the matter altogether, but leaving it like that is even worse.
Another fundamental error on behalf of the writers is how where in the series the characters were always together, in the movie it is more about their individual stories. It is called 'The Inbetweeners' not 'Will, Simon, Jay and Neil'. They spend a lot more time away from each other than they do in the series, and this is not good, as the funniest lines are always between each other.
All in all, 'The Inbetweeners Movie' is definitely not bad. It is extremely funny, classically un-PC and fans of the sit-com will enjoy it, though will not be able to ignore the disappointments in regard to the characters. -
Pithyoneliner20 December 2011Some things just don't translate from the small screen to the large I'm a big fan of the TV shows but the silver screen version left me cold.
There are a few decent gags in the movie, but nothing to compare to some of the belly laughs of the series (no fish-punching!). This movie feels as if it has been holywooded too much, the point of the series was that this group of friends are in the middle ground, neither popular nor unpopular just at the margins, wanting to move up the social rankings. Their misguided and ineffectual attempts to do so providing much of the mirth.
While I can see why the makers wanted an upbeat ending, the ultimate end to a much loved series was just too upbeat. IMHO our beloved protagonists should not 'get the girl and kill the bad guy'. It just feels contrived, the TV show always had a credible feel, even the most outrageous situations the lads got themselves in felt as if it could happen (the creators have admitted that much of the material for the shows was autobiographical).
But the movie just wrapped up a little too neatly while not delivering the cringe-comedy of the series.
Fans of the series should of course watch if for a sense of closure, but personally I would recommend waiting until it is on the small screen as a trip to the cinema left me with a sense of disappointment -
time-bomb5 January 2013Excellent movie!! Delivers the goods on all fronts. I am a fan of the TV show and this movie was the swan song to the four main characters. The writing of the film has to be given credit it had a solid script which all involved executed perfectly. It was a great way to release the inbetweeners to the real world, i laughed through out and left me wanting more the ending was perfect and the movie did not drag on like many TV to Movies do(Borat,Bruno). I noticed that this movie flowed naturally and in no time did it feel like the film had lost momentum, this Is something that is notorious in other TV to movie films like the ones mentioned before. Good to know that the 4 fellas will be just fine one of the best feel good Movies I've seen.

FilmMan4723 December 2012the inbetweeners 2011 is a funny movie from the start its about fews boys who are completely stupid they don't know how to talk to girls & just want to have sex & fun.but the climax was rushed & weird.
the only cast member i loved in the film was laura haddock there was something about her that kept me watching this DVD.
these guys goes on a holiday to Malia & meet some girls there & then the fun begins there are some dirty jokes & sexual scenes that are not suitable for audience.this is like American pie series but in a limit
anyway i just going to make this quick..this film is a good watch.definitely needs a sequel.
my rating is 7/10 buy DVD if you can. -
People are saying the series is far better than the movie... but without the movie there wouldn't be an end to the Inbetweeners! The series ended with their camping trip. People would think.. what happened next? In the series, we never really saw the lads stand on their own 2 feet, asking their parents for money, lifts and so on. In the film they grow up. The quotes/script in the film are legendary!! The dancing scene is also legendary, who-ever thought of the moves are just the best! Seeing a different side of them that you wouldn't see in the series was a breath of fresh air.
Its only a matter of time until they get the green light for part 2 (fingers crossed) Rumours state that its going to be Neils wedding and I cant help but think that it would be in competition with The Hangover!!
Overall, couldn't stop laughing all the way through the film and when I heard it was in cinemas I went straight away! Its a film you can watch over and over and over again without getting bored of it! LOVE IT! -
thekarmicnomad2 December 2012I 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. -
LondonCentric22 August 2011This is a classic example of trying to milk a successful TV series, and how do you do that, send them to a foreign country.
It is so poorly written almost all the gags can be seen coming a mile off. I am a huge fan of the TV series and this is simply a cash-in.
Where as the TV series was well observed and smart this is just puerile and childish. There are so many situation gags that have been done so many times before and better. Throwing up, a funny dance and a fat girl, really?
Shame I didn't laugh, but the producers are laughing all the way to the bank. -
bowmanblue4 March 2018I can imagine there are those who have not heard of The Inbetweeners, after all, it has been well hidden away on E4 for its three-series run. However, I can't imagine there are that many people who have seen the show and not enjoyed the film. If you've watched the series, you'll love the film. If you haven't seen a TV episode then I advice you to borrow a DVD from a friend (ask around - someone will have one) and check it out first.
And, even if you haven't seen the TV series, this is pretty good fun. I guess its target audience is mainly young men who have lived through those precarious teenage years of uncertainty, drinking and (attempted) womanising. Women seem to enjoy it too - mainly because the four male stars continue to make a fool of themselves. In fact, I don't know any person under 35 who doesn't like it. The only people I've met who don't 'get it' are my mum and a friend's mum. There's a reason it's one of the highest-grossing British comedies of all time and that's because it's pretty damn funny!
Basically, it's about four lads who leave school and go on a drunken holiday to the a Greek island (I forget which one). There, they get into all manner of embarrassing scrapes. As it says on the sleeve - think American Pie meets Peep Show. There are plenty of cringe-worthingly bad moments for the stars and expect a fair amount of bad language, nudity and plenty of laughs. Basically, it's like everything that a Richard Curtis movie isn't!
I found it like what a 'Carry On...' film might be like if it was written today and the humour carries over from the TV series well - you'll laugh out loud more often than not. It does slow a bit towards the end, but it's definitely more hit than miss.
Also, it teaches a guy not to put too much gel in his hair and don't pass out face down on an ants' nest. -
The film has no real introduction of characters and assumes everyone knows them from the series...which I didn't. Four high school males vacation on the island of Crete to drink, party, meet girls, and have sex. As always in the movies our diverse foursome meet a foursome of women and learn lessons in life.
The film is funny. No doubt about, I had several laughs from it. Much of the humor is sexual in some shape or form. There is a lot of young male testosterone which results in various conflicts. Not being familiar with the series, this was a run of the mill spring break comedy.
Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity, male nudity. -
ethical_trader16 December 2011My header says it all, but IMDb want a whole ten lines, maybe if I just go 'AAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!' it will help to fill the space?! I found this film so awful I left before the end, the 'jokes' weren't that funny, and were mostly of a visual and totally predictable nature; including a rehash of the 'disabled kids on a roller-coaster' joke, which was a classic TV moment, just like Del Boy 'playing it cool', only this time it was by a hotel pool, and not that funny - yet it was the 'funniest'(?) moment that I saw. The casting had every middle class wannabe that wants to go to RADA in there, which constantly annoyed me, not even 'The Queen' talks like that anymore. If you've ever done an 18-30 holiday you'll know there's very little 'posh totty', just plenty of 'northern tarts' with their boobs hanging out off their face's on 'E', while Cockney lads pour spirits down their throat in the hope of a quickie if they get them drunk enough. This 'movie' tried to emulate that 'culture' a wee bit, but no where near well enough. Even the dance tunes in the bars weren't a touch on the real thing, another thing that annoyed me no end, they were mostly just cheesy pop which no self respecting DJ would play - in fact everything about this annoyed me to the point of wanting to start an FB campaign to demand my money back, however I decided it would be a waste of energy and I'd already wasted enough going to the flix in the first place. How could this have been so bad when the TV series was so good? I'm flummoxed. Nuff said, watch it at your peril and remember that it's time you'll never get back.
