The Inbetweeners 2

Plot synopsis:
Will, Neil and Jay's girlfriends have all broken up with them since the events of the last film, and Simon is unhappy with his girlfriend Lucy, who has become obsessive and abusive. Simon and Will are depressed and ostracised at university; Neil is working in a bank; and Jay is taking a gap year in Australia. He emails Neil, claiming that he is now a top DJ at a popular night club, lives in a luxury mansion, and has daily sex with multiple partners. This convinces them to visit him in Australia for their Easter holidays. Once they arrive at the club they find that Jay in fact only works as a toilet attendant and lives in a tent in his Uncle's front garden, while Will meets Katie, an old friend from his private school days, who is backpacking, and she persuades him to join her.
The next day, the four travel to a youth hostel in Byron Bay, as Will wants to follow Katie there. He attempts to become friends with one of the backpackers, Ben, but is unsuccessful when the backpackers quickly deduce that he is a tourist, rather than a "traveller". Will struggles to fit in with the 'spiritual' activities of the travellers and discovers that Katie is seeing multiple people at once, launching him into one of his foul-mouthed tirades towards them, which leads Katie into having sex with Ben.
The boys and the backpackers visit a water park, where Jay intends to find his ex-girlfriend, Jane. The park staff tell Jay that Jane has found a new job in the vast Outback, which leaves Jay feeling very dejected. Neil pays for a swimming with dolphins session and this quickly turns sour when Neil's dolphin dies from being fed junk food that Neil smuggles in his wetsuit.
Jay gets Simon into trouble whilst walking to the Lazy River, because Jay deliberately blurted out that Simon was a paedophile in front of a passing family and he then deliberately nudged Simon into the water and he landed head-first into the lap of a child using a rubber ring, consequently leading to the child's father and another male beating him up. Neil gets into trouble by pooing down a water slide due to an attack of irritable bowel syndrome which proceeds to land into Will's face, Will consequently vomits everywhere, leading to everyone screaming and running away and the park being closed down; he berates Neil because Will was arrested.
Lucy tells Simon via Skype that Jane is working on a stud farm in the remote settlement of Birdsville, and the boys intend to drive there. Their car runs out of petrol in the middle of the desert. The group hold hands together as they realise that they will most likely die, but are rescued by Jane and her co-workers. She realises how far Jay came to win her over again, and although she is touched by the gesture, she does not take him back. Back at Jay's uncle's house, the boys find that their parents have travelled to find them after hearing of their near-death experience. The boys are shocked to find Mr Gilbert (their old head of sixth form and Will's nemesis) there too, and Will's mother announces that she and Gilbert are in a relationship, to the abject horror of Will and amusement of the other three friends. Over Skype, Lucy breaks-up with Simon because she is now in a relationship with his university 'best friend' Pete, which Simon responds to by cheering and abruptly hanging-up on her.
The four boys decide to travel to Vietnam in a montage during the film's credits. As they return to the United Kingdom, Neil begins a relationship with one of the travellers while Will's mother reveals that she and Gilbert are engaged. Will attempts to run back to the plane, but is wrestled to the ground by security.

Review:
As a inbetweeners fan of the series and first movie I was looking forward to this movie and cant say I was diappointed but then on the other hand I cant say it was anything else than OK.There were enough gags in their as you'd expect and one or two are worth the money on their own but the script seems very contrived to fit in certain characters or in creating a reason for the movie in the first place.The real thing that let this down was after 90 minutes of chasing trying to achieve their goal the whole movie is wrapped up in 2 mins and then it finishes apart from some Hangover-style end credit scenes.This movie did all the classic inbetweeners things to the extreme , I'm not sure what they could do if they ever made a 3rd movieAll in all an OK movie but I wont be too sad it thats the last we see of them.
Just got back from the first screening of this and, on the whole, found it to be a decent film, albeit not as good as the first one.The plot is bit weak, but there are plenty of laughs along the way to keep you giggling like the inner school child that you are.I wonder if the boys are too old now to be acting like kids, and if this will in fact be their last outing as the Inbetweeners?
What a disappointment.Distinctly average film with some laugh out loud moments, but mostly cringe and not funny jokes.
Its cringe toilet humor had worked and I was in tears at several moments.The whole film was embarrassing to watch just like the original Inbetweeners.
even well before the time a piece of Neil's poo slides down a water-slide and hits will in the face, it's clear that the inbetweeners are utterly finished and this is the cast members trying to stretch one more pay day out of a low budget, presumably after the failure of their follow-up series 'chickens.' If you're a fan of the inbetweeners and want to keep cherished memories of them going forward, for the love of god stay away from this film.
We have had time to watch every season of the inbetweeners and let the jokes and type of humor marinate for years before the release of this film.If this movie was just a standalone item, I would probably give this a 5/10.
The Inbetweeners was a great TV series, it was followed by a movie spin-off that was pretty good considering how those types of things usually are and now we have a sequel.
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.
In fact one plot point took up a good percentage of the film just to lead to a unfunny predictable joke and made me feel as if my time was wasted.
Only far, far ruder – which is why it has a 15 rating slapped on it.Featuring (for the second blockbuster this year) the song 'The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face' – this time sung by Will (Simon Bird), it was as you imagine A possessive girlfriend who cuts Simon's (Joe Thomas) trademark hoodies; Jay's (James Buckley) The Wolf On Wall Street spoof tour of life down under (minus the drug intake), and Neil's (Blake Harrison) usual, well special Forrest Gump behaviour – plus much more, overall it is great fun!Although now all in their late 20's and early 30's, the boys are back (for another 93 minutes at least anyway) Yet producers (Damon Beesley & Iain Morris) and Inbetweener actors alike have all stated that they would 'never again' come back to relive the characters and that this will in fact be the last outing but knowing the trend of recent films expect a reunion in about 12-15 years from now.Yes – the fwrends' are back and easily provide several of this year's funniest movie moments so far, confirming why they are quickly becoming the UK's most successful comedy show.
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.
There are a lot of obvious and cold jokes that are very scripted and don't flow, although i love The Inbetweeners sitcom and the first movie, this wasn't half as good as the first due to the whole motivation for the film probably being the success of the first.
However, in this second big screen outing for the boys it feels like the crude scenes are simply added for the sake of it and lack the real comedic and situational backing they need to generate laughs.
Many of the supporting cast from the series also return, but they seem to have been forced into the movie simply for the sake of it.The only redeeming feature of the movie is the high joke count and although most wont raise too much more than a giggle, there are a handful of genuinely funny scenes that keep the film's head above water.
In the end for the viewer the film will likely be a huge disappointment, even for big fans(like myself) of the previous Inbetweeners work, this movie feels like a cash grab while the popularity of the series is still high..
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.
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 water park scene (which I won't spoil) is full of hilarity.Although, it's by no means perfect; Neil (Blake Harrison) is a lot more stupid in this film than usual, Simon (Joe Thomas) is underused - but when he is used, he's brilliant - Jay (James Buckley) is still Jay, I guess and Will is typically sensible and "boring" but in a way feels different.
I am a huge fan of the television show and the movie released in 2011 so I had huge expectations and this was even my most anticipated film of the year.The Inbetweeners 2 lived up and beyond my expectations it was a comedy masterpiece every joke was perfect and worked so well.
Everything about the film just worked for me and would highly recommend this film to everyone as I really want this film to do brilliant at the box office just like the first film as this film definitely deserves it!All in all the The Inbetweeners 2 was a comedy masterpiece fans of the show and the first film will love this and all movie goers looking for a good laugh will also love this film.
With Simon being hounded by his possessive girlfriend back home, Will striking up a relationship with a girl he knew before and Neil not doing very much as usual, they find themselves helping Jay track down his girlfriend from the first film, which takes them on their usual wild trials.They swore a second film would never happen, but with a three year gap since the last film and a four year gap since the show finished, the Inbetweeners boys find themselves back on the big screen for this second instalment of the film franchise.
Acts 1 - 3 are great just the end doesn't seem as solid.Overall I was very impressed with the film; I was worried that it would be too 'big' and not stick to the roots of the series but thankfully it still manages to keep all the characters personalities very much the same without going overboard with jokes.
When I left the cinema feeling rather cathartic back in 2011, I was fairly sure that there wasn't much room for success left for characters Will, Simon, Jay, Neil and writers Iain Morris and Damon Beesley.The formula is the same second time round, only now they're even further away in Australia.
It was predictable that a film would follow but it was surprisingly good- some brilliant jokes, likable (new) characters and a happy ending.
It was a brilliant end to a brilliant film and TV series.The characters are all as funny as ever, the script is great, some old banter and jokes were thrown in, and overall it is absolutely hilarious.I did have my doubts when I saw the trailer but honestly I think whoever made the official trailer was against the film being successful or something because they showed hardly any of the funny bits!So don't not see it if you were disappointed by the trailer!The whole cinema laughed on more than several occasions, a lot more than I expected.
With that said i do feel like this film had some flaws and being a big fan of the series as well as the first film i was kind if disappointed by this entry to the franchise.So at the beginning of the film we find that will is at university and Simon and Neil have come to visit him.
If they were to make a third film then i would watch it i just hope that they tone Neil's character down a bit and have more dialogue based jokes which are what made the inbetweeners in the first place7/10.
The story follows the boys on their journey exploring Oz, all dealing with their own agendas, apart from Neil who seems to just be there for the ride.The characters, played very well as usual by the four mains, deliver many a laugh and brilliant toilet gag that we have come to expect from the series.
The opening scene set the tone for this dismal flop......harry potter need I say more.Same with the first film there was no real story line, will is a lap dog to identical blonde clones........simon still acts like a wimp with his love interest........jay is still the pathological liar and neil is still neil.......and he was the stand out in the film and that's saying something.scenes such as the stuck in the desert scene seemed so pointless just something added to fill screen time.
what they failed to remember is their target audience is now that bit older, so their characters should have grown slightly to fit that.in my personal opinion these actors left the inbetweeners thinking they would be break out stars.......subsequently this hasn't happened and they have gone back to this franchise for financial gain, the love and effort in the beginning has gone and sadly I se this becoming a never ending franchise such as saw.I personally would not like any more films, but with this being the biggest British movie of the year there will be more to come unfortunately..
The plot, which effectively involves Will trailing a woman around Australia, becomes quite tedious but is finally brushed aside towards the last act of the film - where it's the four lads together.The whole film is jam packed with classic cringe-inducing Inbetweeners moments - including a certain scene on a water slide, but it's ultimately the chemistry between the four leads that carry the film forward.It may disappoint if you go in with high expectations, but for a quick laugh, I can't complain..
The boys go down underStarring Simon Beard, James Buckley, Blake Harrison and Joe Thomas.Written by Damon Beesley and Iain MorrisDirected by Damon Beesley and Iain Morris.I must admit I have a soft spot for the Inbetweeners.I'm a bit of a closet fan of the series and the movies and this one was no disappointment.
The sequel certainly dosen't live up to its predecessor, the end of the first Inbetweeners movie see's the four main characters grow and truly become men, but this film contradicts any of that established character arch and brings them back the same position they were in the television series, it simply felt like a unnecessary sequel that ruins the pitch perfect finale of the first one.
A lot of the humour is immature and certainly not the clever, well written comedy that I've come to expect from the Inbetweeners, it's much less British, with jokes about child abuse, indigestion and self harm, it's much more tasteless than the series or the first film ever was.
It's a disappointment, simple as that, if you are an Inbetweeners fans then you'll watch it, you will laugh a load, but you'll be left feeling unfulfilled, The Inbetweeners 2 has plenty of good moments, but it's a mediocre adventure, with little heart or plot, for this likable foursome.
the film is gud and easy to watch really enjoyable if you are a fan of inbetweeners series and the film franchise.the film is as good as the first one or even better.in this movie characters are getting more depth in their roles the film consists of lot of funny moments and talks.the story starts when the friends are going to meet jay who is doing a gap year in Australia.all the main actors are done justice to their roles and the film is a really a good one to watch my ratings 7 of off 10.Iam looking forward for the next part.In this film will and si are at their universitie and neil is working at a bank .tyhe film starts frome there.its really a gud watch.Damon Beesley and Iain Morris done a terrific job as directors in this film..
Even the teaser trailer that came out has me laughing my head off.The Inbetweeners Movie 2 sees the immature and socially inept quartet from the show reunite for this sequel which includes Will McKenzie (Simon Bird), Jay Cartwright (James Buckley), Neil Sutherland (Blake Harrison), and Simon Cooper (Joe Thomas).
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 was surprised when I heard that they were making a second Inbetweeners film as I was unsure where scriptwriters Beesley & Morris would take the characters of Neil, Jay, Simon, and Will.
Neil isn't given quite as much to do here as Simon, Jay and Will, but that didn't bother me as his character probably got the most laughs out of me.Like the Series and the first film, the humour is crude at times, but that isn't a problem for me.
Alas, unlike the superior first movie, this time it's only the fans of the show who'll find the latest adventure of the quartet - Will (Simon Bird), Jay (James Buckley), Neil (Blake Harrison) and Simon (Joe Thomas) - somewhat amusing.Having run rampant in the Greek islands after finishing high school in the first film, this time the boys head down to Australia for a vacation during their university break.
The inevitable sequel arrives, and this time the makers have gone all holiday on the buses Mach 2, and sent the lads to meet Jay in Australia to join him one his gap year.Of course, his legendary lies irk the boys somewhat, as his palace and D.J job are nothing more than a tent and a stint as a toilet attendant.So they meet up with some pseudo bohemians, and go a travelling....The roaring success of the first movie was always going to warrant a sequel, because if a movie makes £40 million plus in the U.K., it'd be daft not to.The first time I saw the original movie, I didn't like it one bit, I thought it was a cash in, and made so much money because it was released just as the target demographic were coming off the depicted holidays and getting ready to go to Uni, and had a connection.So I wasn't looking forward to this, but to prep myself, I saw the three series and the film again (which is better third time along), and just took it for what it was, four lads bonding with added gross out jokes.And apart from the awful gross out jokes that haven't been funny in over fifteen years, I found the film to be quite endearing, and its a marked improvement on the original.The plus points: The best parts if the film are when the four are just talking about life and their fantasies, the scenes in the car are brilliant, and really hark back to the original series.Also, the way the travellers are depicted, total morons who think because they have dreads and can play an instrument have some sort of one up-man ship on every one else.
The first Inbetweeners movie was great and the characters of Will, Jay, Simon and Neil really shone through.
Okay, it's not quite as good as the first film, and nowhere near as original as the TV series, but I'm always going to be somewhat sympathetic to this franchise*.I've been with The Inbetweeners since the beginning, when as a sixth former myself I laughed my head off at the antics of Will, Simon, Jay and Neil, as they muddled through a uniquely British adolescence that we could all see reflections of ourselves in.
