I'm not that big a fan of the original BE show. The first season I love, the second is okay and the third is down right terrible. But of course theres a movie. Now I had very, VERY low expectations before going into the movie and Im not disappointed at all because it was as mediocre as I thought it would be. While the acting is fine, the directing fine and the editing and music is much better than the show and the main characters are better written in this movie than season two or three. Those are the only positives I can give this movie. The movie didnt have any funny or original moments or jokes and was very perdictable. The main characters like Alfie and Joe are better in this movie than the show, this movie introduces many new side characters that completely ruin alot of scenes. Like Joe's mum. Yes, shes meant to be unlikable but she just ruined every scene she was in and was just so boring and painful to watch. There are many forgettable scenes in this film and all the scenes are really predictable and unfunny. Ive seen this films scenes and jokes so many times in other mediocre comedy movies. The story has been used alot in other tv shows and movies and as I've said does nothing new or original. None of the music is memorable but is less annoying and repetative than it was in the original show. So basically while it is edited, directed and acted well enough the rest of the film is just plain bad. Unfunny, predictable, boring and badly written film. I do not recommend.

For the past few years, there has been a trend in UK cinemas, where a moderately successful TV comedy has made its transition to the big screen.Some have had a wonderful success, due to the time of the films releasing, but all have one thing in common, they are devoid of any laughs, and it's just an excuse to milk a series where the audience has dwindled just a tad.And like many of these TV to big screen movies have the same plot point, they all go on holiday.Since Holiday On The Buses, right up to last years Inbetweeners sequel, the makers think its a wonderful idea to put the regular characters out of their series settings comfort zone. Well as soon as the BBFC card springs up on screen, this has already happened, because films like this have no business clogging up screens.I've never seen the TV series, but I've heard okay-ish things about it, but this takes British comedy back nearly forty years, with the exception of seeing Whitehalls testicular region not one time, but three blooming times, and it's never funny, it's nothing more than an air of desperation from the writers.Add a silly subplot about Alfie being a terrorist and leader of a pseudo movement calling themselves the CLA, the film not only manages to be unfunny, it also manages to insult almost every resident of Cornwall, because my gosh, those poor folk are mocked within an inch of their life.Add a embarrassed looking Harry Enfield, and Mathew Horne, and you have another in a long line of terrible British TV comedy movies.Can stand proud with the following movies.....Alien Autopsy. The Boys In Blue. Lesbian Vampire Killers Mrs Browns Boys D'Movie Keith Lemon The Inbetweeners And I'm sure there are dozens more.Wretched tosh.

Now before watching this movie, I was a big fan of the series and was hoping that Jack Whitehall wouldn't ruin it by making a feature length movie. By the trailer I could tell it was going to be a daft comedy and at times had me in stitches. The only problem was at time the storyline became very flat and nothing much seemed to happen. Overall I'd recommend this movie to teenager going to watch a funny film with there mates and not with there parent like I did. Without spoiling too much Cornish Independence is a truly funny concept and such an original script I've never seen something anything like it and it's a feel good movie for those with a strange type of humour which Whitehall has perfectly created in this movie.

Okay, so going into this film i had seen just two episodes of the series so wasn't that familiar with the characters. The show has made me laugh though so i knew that it was at least funny. British sitcoms being translated to the big screen can be very hit or miss, i was hoping it would be funny even with a loose plot like The Inbetweeners Movie or Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa and it delivered.Jack Whitehall returns as brilliant as ever as the bad influence teacher Alfie Wickers. Bad Education follows the British comedy trend of taking its characters on holiday, this time in the form of a mental school trip to Cornwall. As you can imagine, this leads to crazy antics. It sounds like more of the same, there is a good twist towards the end though. I don't want to ruin it as it wasn't in the trailers or anything and is actually unexpected. This twist got a bit silly towards the end, but the whole film is pretty silly so it isn't so silly that it completely takes you out of the film. I doubt this will get an international release, but if it does i don't think it is one that will appeal to an American audience. In an interview Jack Whitehall said that exact same thing, the humour is so British, and British at its finest. There are a lot of Jack Whitehall's balls though. I don't ever want to see his balls again. Although, this film features the single most intense scene of a man teabagging a swan EVER. I was genuinely scared for the guy.As a fan of the show, i'm sure you will be delighted to see all the characters on the screen again. Actors from Matthew Horne to Harry Enfield reprise their roles and all of the class are here to. They all get moments to shine as well which i like to see in a film with so many characters. In the end, i haven't laughed harder at a film this year. The plot isn't anything complicated, we have seen this sort of humour before, but as a British person if you don't come out of this film feeling you have had even a little bit of a good time then i will be surprised. I advise anyone up for a good laugh to check out the Bad Education movie, it may be silly, but a film with an opening that is an ET spoof featuring Anne Frank deserves to be seen.
