Cineworld, i read last week, have lowered their profits in the last 6 months. Not by an enormous amount, but down from £14m to £10m, or something. They say much of that was down to the expense of digitalising the majority of their screens. Perhaps to counter this loss, they seem to have opened ridiculously early to maybe squeeze in another showing a day. This meant that at 10.30am i was in looted Wood Green to watch Inbetweeners The Movie. Me, two couples, and another lonely, balding man with a likely interest in cinema and a 2litre flagon of fizzy pop. So that's 6 people, probably all there on their unlimited cards. I doubt that ate into their profit loss. The Inbetweeners is a 15, and therefore no one of that age or a little above, the likely key market for the film, would be awake on a Sunday at such a time. A silly time to show it.
Anyhow, it was alright. I didn't wet myself guffawiously, but i chuckled along a few times, mostly at a piece of poo on someone's nose, which probably says more about me than the quality of the comedy. I had only seen a few episodes of the serieses and wasn't a follower, but this spoke of the rejections of youth and the uneducated decision-making youngsters make enough to give the 4 leads some sympathy in and around the madcap part-gross-out hijinx. It seems the serieses ended because it's more obvious the actors aren't 18 anymore. Pretty much everone being a teen had the look of someone in their early 30s. It seemed they'd gone to bed with Robin Williams in his Jack days capturing his ageing disease.
Neil was the funniest, but he's really a background figure whilst the others struggle with virginity and social acceptance.
Bawdy and unlearned fun.
