The Inbetweeners First Movie VS The Inbetweeners Second Movie

''The Inbetweeners Movie'' (2011)

''Four socially troubled 18-year-olds from the south of England go on holiday to Malia.''

PERSONAL REVIEW

There may be many words to describe this film, but above all, the word FUNNY sticks out. Absolutely hilarious, pretty rude and gross sometimes, and that's just what we love about the inbetweeners, isn't it?

I think that one of the things that made this film that good, is mainly its loyalty to the series (in fact, it certainly is a lot more enjoyable once you've seen the show, though it's not a requirement).

Another point I really liked, was that it didn't rely solely in the mocking jokes, or the sex puns, but in their relation as well. What I mean is, that it never seemed flat or tedious, and the way all the characters appear on the scenes is very well balanced (the secondary actors assume a pretty important role)

Perhaps, the one thing that felt a little too ''fairy tale ending'', was the fact that every one of them ended with their dreamed girl (or sort of), and well, that's not the natural course in our main characters life...but this didn't even bother me that much, really.

Again, understand, it's not the series, but it makes a great work trying to approach to it.
*Bonus: Neil's talk with Will after ruining his chances with Alison has a really good and practical message, if you avoid the dumb parts (God is dog backwards)

My score is 8.5 / 10

''The Inbetweeners 2'' (2014)

Jay, Neil, Simon, and Will reunite in Australia for a holiday.

PERSONAL REVIEW

Let's start by saying straight away, that it's not a bad film. Although I have to say, it is not as good as the first one.

The chemistry between our four mates is still pretty good, and it seems like the actors literally ARE the characters, as they play them so naturally.

However, this film lacks the fluency of plot that the previous one had. What I mean with this, is that in some points, the movie turns a little slow, or the jokes feel so mechanic and predictable, that they don't look like the classic, surprising, awkward and brilliantly funny jokes of the inbetweeners. It is difficult to explain, given that these film's jokes pretty much have those ingredients, but maybe in the wrong proportion. 

So, how can I say it? The previous film had that ''je ne sais quoi" that the show also had (it might be something that mostly fans will get).

Maybe, one of the things that I disliked the most, was the nonsense of the last 20 minutes;why would Jay try to pursue Jane that desperately? How is it that Lucy just happened to become a jealous psycho? And then just randomly to a cheating psycho?

Well, summarizing, this ends as I started it: good movie (it really is) but definitely, not as good as the first one.

My score is 7.5 / 10
