Storyline

Neil, Will and Simon receive an invite from Jay to join him in Australia whilst on his gap year, who promises them it's ''the sex capital of the world''. With their lives now rather dull compared to their hedonistic school days and legendary lads holiday, it's an offer they can't refuse. Once again, they put growing up temporarily on-hold, and embark on a backpacking holiday of a lifetime in an awful car, inspired by Peter Andre's 'Mysterious Girl'. Will soon finds himself battling with the lads to do something cultural, whilst they focus their attention on drinking, girls, and annoying fellow travelers.

Trivia

Daisy Ridley originally had a part in this film. According to co-director Iain Morris, her scenes were cut because the script didn't work. An effort was made to get her back on the film, but as she was filming Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015) at the time, contractual commitments prevented her from this.

Goofs

During Jay's Australia monologue, the calender behind his left shoulder, that is going up by a day each time a girl's head pops up from beneath the sheets, skips the 9th, when he is describing how he is woken up by a different girl each morning.

Quotes

Will McKenzie: Meanwhile, I was chasing a girl I had recently fingered to sleep.

Alternate Versions

The UK "15" version reduces two scenes (one where a dog licks a man's genitals and a moment where a character tries to urinate into another's mouth) in order to get the rating. Unfortunately, this version was used for worldwide distribution.

Disappointing end to a legacy

For me, the first film wasn't at the standard of the TV series, but I was accepting of that because films rarely are as good as the series. I was disappointed that they then decided to milk it one last time with a second film, which bares no real relevance and adds no real closure to the previous title.

It isn't as if the first film ended on a cliff-hanger, it's not as if they had to close anything off. For me, this was a film made for the money they knew they could make. Okay it's funny, but it's very average and easy humour.

The Inbetweeners should have remained as just the 3 series, but I understood why they'd want a grand slam finish with a movie, but the second was unnecessary. I'd watch it again, but it's not something I'd jump at watching. More of pass time than a hobby.
