The Inbetweeners Movie-released nationwide today
The popular with-all-ages teenage comedy, renowned for its razor-sharp banter, is out on the big-screen today and if it can match the three TV seasons- it promises to be a classic.
The move to the big-screen never worked out for Ali G or Kevin and Perry but succeeded beyond all expectations for Borat and Bruno. It is therefore a risk, but the writers Damon Beesley and Iain Morris have nailed all the episodes to date- so I personally can’t see it failing to deliver. Many of the story lines are based on the writer’s own personal experiences and with the experienced actors all in their mid-late twenties it has always been ‘bang on the money’, so why should it be any different in the longer format?
An interesting fact about the writers is that Ricky Gervais, in revenge for the back injury he suffered at the hands of Iain Morris during a wrestling match in his front room in 2003, named the two homosexual BBC producers in his show Extras after them.
In anticipation of our trip to the cinema tonight, I used the word ‘clunge’ in the car this morning whilst driving my seventeen year old nephew to work experience. He just looked at me as if I was an embarrassing uncle trying to be down with the kids-unfortunately twenty years too late! I expect this sad uncle/dad phenomena to be common over the next few weeks. But let’s just leave it to Jay-the master of CLUNGE…..
