That is what I wish i could say, despite irking me with fundamentally comedy based around mysodgny I cant help but commend the director and those four man boys on the second film following the successful TV show.
I'm not a fan of sequels. The Lion King 2 let me down, not to mention The Expendables 2 & 3... Then again.. Jaws 2 wasnt THAT bad (i joke!). However altogether they did a very good job.
The style of filming is what held it together for me. This film was very standalone, it didnt leave open ended and on a whole was much more polished that the first lads holiday nightmare! Instead the character depths were developed whilst still maintaining the british boyish charm(?!) that makes them so appealing to the audience.
Despite a rocky & slightly rushed beginning Morris & Beesley hols it together with well spaced belly laughs which leave the audience cringing but unable to look away... Alot like Will's attempts to chat up the dithering hippy that is Katie!
What does this mean for the group as a whole though? Undeniably, They are leaving the land of being inbetweeners anymore. Although we'd love to we cant follow these 4 men through the rest of their life... Personally I hope they leave it there. There is nothing worse than a comedy which has gone on for far too long & is barely scraping the barrell anymore .*cough*american pie *cough*
There could have been some recognition as too what happened to all of the ladies in the previous film, will & neils lovers are barely mentioned.... And lucy's apparent mental breakdown is bordering on offensive. Despite this they deserve
4 stars!!!
