    • Trivia
      Parts of the film were filmed at Leeds Festival 2017 with actual festival goers being used as extras in the large crowd scenes.
    • Goofs

    • Alternate versions
      For the UK release, the distributor removed three sequences of crude and sexual behavior to obtain a 15 classification following advice from the BBFC that the uncut version would likely receive an 18 classification. An uncut version was available.

    Well... it was OK...
    I was quite looking forward to this film. Loved The Inbetweeners and was hoping for more of the same.

    It was, well, OK. Quite funny in places, quite dull in others. Joe Thomas plays exactly the same character he always does from the likes of The Inbetweeners, Fresh Meat and White Gold. It's always nice to see the lovely Hannah Tointon in anything. And Claudia O'Doherty is a talented comedic actress.

    If you're after some undemanding and obvious laughs, this film is worth a shot. Just don't expect a classic.
