The UK release was cut, THE INBETWEENERS MOVIE was originally seen by the BBFC in an unfinished version. The distributor was informed that the film was likely to receive an 18 classification but the preferred 15 classification could be obtained by making cuts in four scenes. These were to remove an aggressive use of very strong language, to remove a particularly crude verbal sex reference (to urolagnia), and to reduce the explicitness of two scenes of sexual activity (one of self-fellatio and one of masturbation). When the completed version of the film was submitted, the aggressive use of very strong language had been redubbed, the crude verbal sex reference had been removed, and the strong scenes of sexual activity had been reduced, by a mixture of cutting and reframing. The film was therefore classified 15 without further cuts.
