The Inbetweeners wasn't my thing, so the fact that so many links between the two were involved gave it a thumbs down before I'd even seen the difficult to watch opening titles.
I laughed more than I expected, and cringed a lot less. It's not ground breaking humour, but when it's not making you cringe it was generally enjoyable. Shane is definitely the best thing about the whole film, and his step dad side story was amusing.
It was nice to see some familiar Bristolian things within the film, but had I not had that click of local knowledge I think this would be looking more like a 1 or 2 star film.

Very interesting storytelling, something I haven't encountered before, but loved it. If you know any movies that follow the same concept, I would love your suggestions.
We enter the life of a hotel management, a hotel that has a life of its own. We follow the owner and the lobby boy, as they try to solve a mystery regarding a rich and powerful woman, that gets murdered but has an interesting will.
These people embark on an adventure for truth, in times where everything seems to be against them.
I loved the cameos from so many popular actors, and also loved the dry humour. A very beautiful, intriguing and unique movie.

This is set in and around the time of Boudiccea's rebellion against Rome, and is clearly aimed (not surprisingly!) at the younger audience, leaving aside the more gory aspects of the time and introducing (just like the TV show) several song and dance numbers throughout its running - a running time that could have been cut, somewhat, if it wasn't so enamoured of toilet humour!
