Sex on the Beach

There are few sub-genres that I hate as much as vulgar teenage comedies, but I surprisingly enjoyed this one. All of the inbetweeners were likeable and I had more fun than I expected. It has charm, it’s funny and it’s nicely self-deprecating… to relax, why not. (29.12.2011)

I mostly went to see this movie because I saw the word “comedy” and I needed to relax. I had no clue that it was a sequel to a fairly successful TV show. Maybe that’s exactly why those four boys ticked me off. Well, downright pissed me off. But as time went on, everything they were doing started actually being funny. I even had a good laugh at times. I don’t know if I ever watch this movie again by choice, but if it’s on TV, I’ll let it play. Oh, and I’d love to watch the show some day, for sure… (02.11.2012)

Believe that it is still possible to make an excellent comedy about a group of nerds who want to "get lucky". In this case, however, it is not about Americans, but about the British, who are just as bad with their sexual problems. Just like in the comedy "The Inbetweeners", they are able to solve their problem more humorously and vulgarly, but if you like rough humor, you will enjoy it. And even those who don't like such rough humor will have fun. The film goes quite far. A teenager licks an approximately sixty-year-old woman, who is wearing almost as little as Borat on the beach, there is a piece of shit in the bidet that you will enjoy in a close-up shot, you will feel embarrassed, you will be disgusted, but if you are not a puritan, you will have an incredible time with these idiots. Give them a chance, lock your children in their rooms, and enjoy the entertainment that will get to you. But as I say, I must warn you, because at times the humor is really coarse, but thanks to the fact that it is from Britain, you will realize that toilet jokes still have a chance to succeed and that nerds are the heroes of today. It's not just "The Big Bang Theory", but also the series "The Inbetweeners", which the film follows. Thumbs up for me. Embarrassment can still be funny!

I wondered if the concept that worked so bombastically in the series would translate to film. The central foursome here is just as (sometimes perhaps more) moronic, desperate, ultra-desperate, and still endlessly entertaining. Sure, these knuckleheads are a tragedy, losers, and God knows what else, but that can in no way trump the fact that they're terrifically likable and you can sympathize with them even (sometimes) in their foolishness – especially when they can be genuinely royally entertaining. An utterly unflinching, unapologetic, and brutally vulgar summer comedy that must be a dream come true for die-hard fans of the show. Just a proper British massacre, as it should be. (15.04.2012)
