The Festival

A mash of the inbetweeners and the hangover. This film should be in court for multiple stolen ideas. There are very few funny bits and the story is painfully predictable and dull. I'm rrallu struggling to understand how they failed so badly at writing their own story rather than copying others. It's just a lazy film that didn't need to be made like it was. Not recommended.

Wasn't expecting a masterpiece just 90 mins of laughs , got that on the most part , it's crude , rude , non pc , immature at times , but don't believe FlashCallahans 'review, there were many laugh out loud moments and groans in the cinema showing I went to . Just enjoy , yes it is like watching the third Inbetweeners movie , but if it ain't broke why fix it .

Seems like a film that should have come out in 2008, it just seemed out of touch. Played Mr Brightside at least 3 times. There were definitely some funny moments but just the same joke formats as the inbetweeners, nothing new. Noticed a joke pinched from Peep Show (no thanks, I'm full). Overall I had a fun time going to see this movie but I will never watch it again.

The Festival is a really good comedy that's fun and enjoyable and relaint on a predictable narrative, which is fine. Joe Thomas, Hammed Animashaun and Claudia O'Doherty are all great and Jemaine Clement is a scene stealer in his small part. It's funny and at points hilarious which makes up for the jokes that are gross and don't land. Iain Morris' direction is good, it's well filmed and well paced. The soundtrack is really good.

I was quite looking forward to this film. Loved The Inbetweeners and was hoping for more of the same.

It was, well, OK. Quite funny in places, quite dull in others. Joe Thomas plays exactly the same character he always does from the likes of The Inbetweeners, Fresh Meat and White Gold. It's always nice to see the lovely Hannah Tointon in anything. And Claudia O'Doherty is a talented comedic actress.

If you're after some undemanding and obvious laughs, this film is worth a shot. Just don't expect a classic.
