Between loathing and disgust

The Inbetweeners (MA)
Starring: David Field
THE audience was full of young people – you know the kind I mean.
Dirty looking, hair down to there, half the Bismarck hanging off their face.
It’s the core demographic for the imaginatively named Inbetweeners 2, the follow-up to the execrable original, based on some loser Pommy TV series.
That explains why they were there, but I can’t explain why I was – just no answer on that one.
This movie sets low standards, and fails to achieve them. It’s gross-out stuff, really.
The four male characters comprise the spotty, nerdy one, the stupid one, the average one, and the loud obnoxious one. They want the fairer sex quite badly.
On a variety of pretexts they come from gloomy Pomgolia to sunny Australia where a bunch of not very funny hijinks associated with bodily fluids occur. If you’re a mentally underdeveloped teen, you’ll hurl (in a good way). If you’re not, you’ll just plain hurl.
On the acting front, a quick mention to Aussie legend David Field, who plays an ocker stereotype uncle and provides the only real acting – of any sort – in the film.
Though without any real redeeming features of any sort, the film is better than the first one, and I have no doubt that we’ll eventually see The Inbetweeners 28 (Walking Frame Edition).
You may find yourself leaving the theatre feeling dumber than when you walked in. Don’t be alarmed – this is perfectly normal.
And if your brain is cluttered up with functioning cells, then the answer is here. Definitely more fun than sticking needles in your eyes.
