DVD Review: Very Funny ‘The Inbetweeners: The Complete Series’
CHICAGO – It’s easy to pitch “The Inbetweeners” as a British version of “Superbad” or “American Pie” in that it’s about a quartet of awkward teenagers trying to get drunk, get popular, and, most importantly, get laid.
Rating: 4.5/5.0 |
However, that shouldn’t diminish what to expect here — this is no rip-off. It’s a DAMN funny show with an incredibly raunchy but very smart sense of humor. Yes, there are some episodes that don’t work, but the batting average is much higher than your average sitcom. Check it out before the movie version makes its way stateside or the MTV version hits the air. You won’t regret it.
The Inbetweeners: The Complete Series was released on DVD on July 17, 2012

Synopsis:
What’s on the mind of the average teenage boy? College, jobs, marriage? For Will, Simon, Jay and Neil, it’s the quest for more immediate pleasures like beer and sex, but unfortunately, it’s usually unsuccessful.
The Inbetweeners is a cringe-inducing look at the humiliations of teenage life following the exploits of four friends as they navigate the minefield of high school education with their hormones at full blast.
