User Review
Carefree fun
Rating: 8/10
Most people probably know what they are going to get before entering
the cinema. So sniffy pseudo intellectuals should probably stay clear.
But if you're the sort of person who liked the TV series, doesn't think
they are a "chav" by eating McDonalds and likes fart jokes then you
will really enjoy this movie. The whole audience laughed out loud on
many occasions. No its not a clever plot, but they do manage to purvey
a slice in time where we are all making the mistakes we all do as we
move from adolescence into adulthood. The primary characters maintain
their chemistry (which must only come with having now spent so much
time with each other). You don't eat a cheese sandwich expecting a
Michelin star, and so it is when watching this movie. Its silly, funny,
cringe worthy humour. I really enjoyed it, and I imagine a good many
others will too.
