# POSSIBLE SPOILERS!

Blake Harrison was great as Neil Sutherland and is everyone's favourite slow, perverted 18 year old. All the characters were hilarious and amazing and brilliant. Other than Blake, other leading actors' acting was pretty mediocre. The villain-esc character was very weak.

The overall story doesn't go over the top and remains like a classical lads holiday. The ending is pretty nice and has a nice sentiment. There is nothing really special to the story and the continuous over arching story of Simon & Carli's relationship has become bland and repetitive.

The cinematography was fine. It worked well and served its purpose.

This movie is positively hilarious and thoroughly entertaining. It opens the window for fans of the show and newcomers alike to enjoy the antics of Will and co.

The music was amazing. Mr Gilbert's cameo was amazing.

Personally, I loved this movie and think it is one of the better TV- Big screen adaptations that's been made in recent memory.

8/10
