Feels like a feature length episode
The Inbetweeners Movie is as good as the concept could possibly be. It's essentially a feature length episode that uses the change in mediums to swap locations and give its core four some small character development whilst playing to their strengths for a lot of great moments. There's undoubtedly gonna be some jokes that are more gross than funny but they're few and far between.
Simon Bird, James Buckley, Blake Harrison, and Joe Thomas have played these characters for so long that they're seamless in the roles. They continue to be embarrassing in a loveable fashion and even as they go through the same motions yet again, it never becomes frustrating. They're all idiots in their own way with each cock up being its own reward. Simon Bird's chemistry with Laura Haddock is the strongest aspect here.
Even though the leap in budget from television to cinema is very noticeable, Ben Palmer's direction still has the same level of competence that every episode was constructed with apart from an abrupt ending. The change of scenery gives it a nice sense of escapism and there are some large scale gags that would be the biggest highlights if it wasn't for the standout dance number that wins straight away.
