Agree, as much as I do want to see this I'm loathed to spend £20 odd on two tickets for myself and the wife, plus over priced food and drink when I think I'll enjoy it just as much on the telly at home.

My 15 yo daughter was taken to see this by her new boyfriend.
Why do you feel the need to buy food and drink at the cinema? Are you brain washed into it? Seriously, your in there two hours, if you have a meal at home before you go (you know, your tea) then there really zero need to spend £14 on the rubbish they sell.

Have some self control, and its 50% cheaper to goto the cinema
I just take food & drink with me confused

I'm afraid I'm drawn to the pick n mix, the wife will have a Costa; ironically given the massive mark up on coffee and such like, a Costa is actually the best value thing there, one thing I won't buy though is a soft drink; £2.50 for 750ml of water, they can fk right off, I get a black coffee or take a bottle of water with me.

The last time we went to the cinema; we had a 5 Guys beforehand, we spent £50 on that evening, so £50 on a fast food (very nice one but still fast food) burger, shared chips and drink, cinema tickets and few nibbles.

Saw it lots of low comedy, but it felt more tv like and a bit splintered story-wise with some random story lines.

the uncle was great but i dont think i will watch this again until out on dvd

Went to see it tonight, after £21 including booking fee & £3.85 for a watered down coke I needed some cheering up eek

It's only a 7/10 for me, it was a little try hard in some places, relying on the crude language to make up for the lack of storyline. The "bantz" stuff was a bit cringey.

Obviously some very good bits as expected, won't be in a rush to get the dvd.

Wasn't the whole point of the Bantz stuff that it was meant to be cringey?

When Will was lambasting 'dreadlock boy' I felt like I'd been morphed into the film and it was me speaking. Enjoyed that bit far more than I should have.

Inbetweeners II. It's not big and it's certainly not clever. It is pretty funny though..

I thought it was terrible. 2 or 3 funny bits. Rest was drawn out, boring and unoriginal.

Tv series was quality, 1st film ok, this one is poor

Yeah same for me. End credits actually funniest stuff in the film.

Me too. I wanted to applaud. I wondered if anybody else thought similar.

The two middle aged travellers made me realise what I would look like if I went backpacking with a load of gap year kids frown

The film was a bit hit and miss. Some very funny lines, many obvious jokes, a few set-pieces and some overly-crude bits that fell a bit flat.

The TV series' were very good (and captured 6th form in the mid 90s.
-Written by people my age)

It has now definitely run its course.

Did anyone else find the girl playing Katie was....... over acting? If such a thing exists? I just couldn't "get" her character.

She seemed very realistic based upon some of the girls I met at university in the 90s

Even when she was supposed to have been REALLY hung over? confused

She was supposed to be a caricature of a shallow, self-obsessed ya, ya, ya sort of girl and was embarrassed/pretending to forget getting it together with Will.

It's not supposed to be as deep asThe Godfather or something from LeCarre though.

We've come in to this a bit differently. Never watched the Inbetweeners before but watched the first film about a week ago and thought it was very funny. Have since been working our way through the series on 4od and have nearly got to the end of series 2. Again mostly fantastically funny.

Went to watch 2 yesterday at the cinema. Had some funny moments but it just looked like they tried too hard, and the ending was just a bit pants.

Finally got to see this. First half very funny, but it lost its way. The scene which portrayed Jay living out his imagined lifestyle in Oz was very good.

The pool scene was just over the top (and pretty revolting) slapstick - not what it's meant to be about and the last scene in the Outback was just weak and showed the producers had run out of ideas (or possibly money).

Quite liked the pop at insufferable backpackers, though...

Saw it last night, Neil is by far the best one. 9/10 from me.

The part where they are leaving the water park, did anyone else notice the dead Dolphin being taken away? rofl

Saw this last night. Apart from Wills rants and Neil throughout dolphin, hermione, IBS..... The film was really bad.

They should have killed them off in the desert. The hurried rushed 10 minute ending was garbage. Especially seeing as they have said there wont be another film.

If any tt uses the word "Bants" in general conversation then ill slap them!

I loved the pool scene, but I'm a massive child and still laugh at my own farts.

The rest, not that funny. The ending was crap. I spent most of it on my phone not really paying attention.

Oh dear, that was a very bad film.

I did like the bit at the end with Mr. Gilbert but that was about it.
