The guys that we all know so well are back for a sequel, and one that surpasses its predecessor. They need no introductions. The story is simple; the lads reunite for a holiday in Australia and they naturally get up to lots of mischief.

The Inbetweeners has never been for everyone. It depends when you were born as whether you'll enjoy it or not. Look at Mrs. Brown's Boys for instance. It's aimed at an older generation of people, as opposed to The Inbetweeners which has attracted a lot of teenage attention since its inception in 2008. This tells you about the level of humour that's on display. It's incredibly rude and overly disgusting, and it has always been that way. The only surprises The Inbetweeners 2 holds is how shocking some of the jokes are. 

I was a teenager when The Inbetweeners was introduced. It was a fresh and a gripping program from the moment we first met Will and his new, blundering friends. Now, six years on, they're on to the second film, and it's still just as successful. 

The film starts off slow, never really hitting off until the four of them are reunited. It's all a bit of a tease up until this point, as Will (Bird), Neil (Harrison) and Simon (Thomas) realise how much it sucks in Bristol because Will hasn't made any friends at university. Jay (Buckley) leaves the others a message that makes him out to be the Tony Montana in Down Under. 

We all know he's full of shit, and shit isn't the only bodily fluid we get to see. Most of them worm their way in somehow, and they're part of the funniest scenes in The Inbetweener's short history. There's poo explosions, urine consumption and cringe-worthy concoctions. Jay still tries to prove his worth, Simon is constantly harassed by the 'nightmare from hell' girlfriend and Will (acting as voiceover again), attempts to impress an old friend turned backpacker whilst suppressing his inner rage. Neil is Neil, coming out with some crack one-liners and managing to put a smile (or raise an eyebrow) on everyone's faces.

Writer-directors Damon Beesley and Iain Morris could have rushed a sequel, knowing the cash would flow smoothly (The Inbetweeners Movie made over £45m worldwide). The Inbetweeners 2 is consistent and the comedy is solid. Everything comes in threes. Surely there will be a third film. A trilogy would be more than welcome.
