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. Written by Production

Goofs

When Neil is swimming with the Dolphins in Splash Planet, the zip on his wet suit changes places. In the close ups, it's at the top, and in the side shots it has been slightly pulled down. This is the same in subsequent shots. See more »

Will McKenzie: Chasing a girl around Australia isn't romantic, it's extreme stalking.

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. See more »

Better Than The First
8 August 2014 | by slightlymad22See all my reviews

Simon (Joe Thomas) Neil (Blake Harrison) and Narrator Will (Simon Bird) head down under to visit Jay (James Buckley) in Australia, where he's Sydney's premier DJ and on top of having a threesome with the Minogue sisters, he has models throwing themselves at him every day in his new mansion.

Once the gang are reunited, they set out to explore the country, falling in with a group of pretentious travellers, who pretentious Will is desperate to bond with, because A, he is embarrassed by his friends, and B, he fancies his chances with a girl in the group.

It is a good move, that all the lads are not trying to pull girls this time around... As the joke of them trying and failing to have sex wore thin by the time the movie came around. This time it's only Will chasing a girl, and failing to have sex. Simon on the other hand is doing his best to get away from Lucy (the girl from the first movie, who has had a complete personality transplant since we last seen her) back in London.

Whilst it's better than the first, (let's be honest it could hardly have been worse) it's still not a patch on the TV show. Some situations are hilarious, but some (ie Wills song being the best example of this) the joke wears thin very quick, and it is just long and painful till it reaches it's conclusion.

The lads all know their characters so well they can play them in their sleep, just as well there is no character development. Will just replaces Simons character From the first movie, but he is a pretentious puppy dog following the girl instead of a naive one, and they all gave the level of performance you would expect -Harrison is the standout performer- from people who have played characters for this long.

Crude, mindless, foul mouthed and happy go lucky, the movie breezes along grabbing every easy laugh it can.
