There really isn't enough material here for a feature, with some scattered big laughs and exotic scenery not enough to compensate for a thin and episodic script.
The movie is apparently the most popular British comedy in history. I guarantee that its success has nothing to do with the quality of the actual movie ...

You've seen all this teenage male awkwardness, sexual misadventures and body fluids in so damn many American movies that British accents don't make them any fresher.
As predictably sophomoric as "The Inbetweeners" can be, it's the ways you stay ahead of it that amplify the laughs. No romantic or sentimental moment is too tender to undercut.
Plenty of funny bits, and apart from some fairly appalling underlying sexism -- guys, screw up all you like, the movie says, because the nice, pretty girls will forgive any transgression -- it actually attempts to have heart as well.
