Simon has finally been able to get Carli D'Amato, who he has been in love with since they were children, to be his girlfriend. Largely because they will be going away to different schools in the fall, Carli breaks up with him. To get Simon's singularly focused mind off Carli, his three best mates decide to take him on vacation for two weeks to get some sun, sand and girls before they move onto the next chapter of their lives in the fall. Neil makes the decision for them to go to Malia on the isle of Crete, a popular summer tourist destination for many a Brit.

User Reviews

The Inbetweeners: Laughs, Start to Finish!

This is a prime example of why I love British comedy. Great writing, great storytelling. Then cast the proper blokes and you've got yourself a winner. I watched the show on Netflix and couldn't believe how funny these guys were. The Inbetweeners Movie is very good. It is great to see them in a more open environment, free to spread their wings and bungle things up like they always do. The epic search to get laid is always present, as usual. The guys are all unique and have their own story. Each as funny as the next. The follow-up to the movie is The Inbetweeners Two. Hilarious stuff. But that's for another review. If you have never checked out the Inbetweeners and you have an opportunity, check out the show first. It'll go by pretty quick. Then hit the movies. It will give you a much better appreciation for the guys and their individual quirks and their collective ideas.
