Watch The Festival For Free

Pretty Good

I wanted to but couldn't!

Good concept, poorly executed.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Saw this one at my local cinema this evening, not expecting a great deal from one of the head honcho's behind the flawless Inbetweeners & arguably the weakest of the 4 main cast. But I gave it a go regardless and my fears were realised almost immediately. I knew I was going to hate this movie from the get go, with the opening 60 seconds ripping off THAT scene where Will McKenzie finally gets to bed Charlotte. Terrible start, seen it all before, it was only funny the first time. From here on Its forced gag after forced gag, leaving excruciatingly awkward moments after the jokes fall flat, knowing full well those churning out the lines are regretting putting pen to paper on a contract. The acting for the first half of the movie from the relative unknowns is at best, abysmal. Poor Joe Thomas churning out a performance which is EXACTLY that of 'Simon', it's hard to see how he will ever do anything else. Seemingly destined to be typecast forever, never shaking the Inbetweener tag.Anyway I'd had enough after he crawled through the crowd & got pissed on. I walked out after barely 40mins. The first time I have ever done this in my life. A painfully unfunny movie, from what looks like a script that was dragged from the bin under the title Inbetweeners 3. Can't wait to read others reviews after the coming weeks, if this film doesn't bomb & sit in the £5 and under bin at your local Tesco's by Christmas I'll be shocked. Avoid this disaster, save your cash.

The Festival - starring Joe Thomas (who plays Simon in the Inbetweeners) and directed by Iain Morris (who wrote the Inbetweeners). It's a British comedy about a guy (Nick) who goes to a festival after his girlfriend dumps him. It's similar to the inbetweeners so obviously it's full of bad language, party people, sex scenes and nudity. I made the mistake of bringing me mum lol awkward. But if you like the Inbetweeners you'll like this for sure.Lots of laughs and 2 or 3 big laugh out loud moments. British comedies are generally funnier than American - makes me wonder why Hollywood don't invest more in them.

I really enjoyed this movie. Joe Thomas played a very similar character to Simon in Inbetweeers. It was funny throughout. If you didn't enjoy the Inbetweeners then you won't enjoy this movie, if you did then you will love it.

Good plot , good script , typically funny lines you'd expect from an inbetweeners type movie with a touch of American Pie. An enjoyable film that will be equally popular when it transfers to the amazon prime type small screen . There's a few cringeworthy moments but it will hit home with its target audience of festival goers and students and their parents too .Worth a watch but not a huge mistake if you wait for it to come to the small screen . Pad.A 6/10
