The Festival (2018)
7/10
Likeable and rude
25 August 2018
Warning: Spoilers
When Nick is dumped by Caitlyn at graduation his mate Shane drags him along to a pop festival (which Nick doesn't really want to go to) in order to distract him, although the real reason is that Shane wants to try to meet one of the acts. Accompanied by truly annoying Australian habitual festival-goer Amy, they discover Caitlyn is also at the festival. So might she get together with Nick again?

This movie, by The Inbetweeners production team and starring The Inbeteeners' Joe Thomas as Nick, recycles the plot from The Inbetweeners Movie - substitute a festival for a Greek island - to the extent of the characters played by Thomas in the two vehicles being more or less the same person.

I laughed. It's rude, silly, relatively light on toilet humour but high on drugs and embarrassment humour. It's not going to win a BAFTA, that's for sure, but it's loaded with a lot of lowest common denominator humour.

And despite Nick being a loser who makes things worse for himself and Amy being annoying, I liked being in their company.
