Backpack Wankers

There are certain types of film that have a tendency towards shitness; video-game adaptations, films centered around sports that aren't boxing and anything that's ever been described as 'like x but on acid'. Another is spin off of British TV comedy. The Harry Hill Movie, Kevin and Perry Go Large, Keith Lemon; these films aren't just bad, but offensively bad. One surprising exception to this was The Inbetweeners movie from a few years back, which was not only a success, but its apparently the most successful British comedy film of all time. Granted, it wasn't earth shakingly brilliant, or even on par with the best episodes from the series that spawned it, but it was a laugh and given the numbers involved there was always going to be a sequel, which has now arrived. Hence review.
