And this increased budget and longer running time allows things to get lewder, cruder and much much ruder than ever before.

For those unfamiliar with The Inbetweeners, it’s the misadventures of four teenage friends as they try to survive the day to day challenges of raging hormones. There’s Will (Simon Bird), whose numbing social awkwardness is matched only by his crushing superiority complex, the overly sensitive but predominantly normal Simon (Joe Thomas), Jay (James Buckley), whose insecurities come to the surface in wildly unlikely boasts and the nice-but-wonderfully-dim Neil (Blake Harrison). This big screen excursion sees the four friends finally finish school and head off to the Greek resort of Malia for a fortnight of sun, sea, and ... well, you know the rest. Naturally things don’t quite go to plan.

From the off there a lot of laughs to he had here, albeit pandering to the lowest common denominator. If you don’t get a giggle out of a pasty tourist nearly drowning an eight year-old local and another getting intimate with a cougar the like of which nightmares are made, then The Inbetweeners certainly isn’t for you.  But base humour aside, the characters are given a chance to grow - for a start they get to talk to ACTUAL girls - and this growth offers them all some hope for life back in Blighty. There is the occasional misfire, such as a short lived break up within the group, but the highs more than outweigh the lows.

Anyone familiar with the TV show knows that writers Damon Beesley and Iain Morris delight in putting the foulest words possible into their characters mouths and the movie certainly doesn’t disappoint; there’s language here that would make Gordon Ramsey blush. As usual Jay gets the best lines but everyone has their moment in the sun (literally in Will's case).

If you’ve ever been on one of these rite-of-passage bargain bucket trips, there’ll be a lot of familiar ground here; the tatty bars, the loutish behaviour, the chance of a holiday romance and the unbridled joy of being able to cut loose without having to face the judgmental eyes of parents over breakfast the next morning. It’s this demographic of hedonistic teens (as well as fans of the show) that the movie is squarely aimed at and anyone who fits these parameters will have blast sharing The Inbetweeners holiday video.
