The Festival makes you ponder on what could happen in any type of life decision around the university life as I will admit I had a few laughs while watching but I felt it was really wear and tear on The Inbetweeners humour.

One of the worst movies i ever seen. Even if i knew that it's gonna be a stereotypical American teen sallow movie, they didn't even try to make it run smoothly or something. It's just a collage of cheap and expected jokes that we have seen so many times

Let's recreate the same character from the Inbetweeners and watch him fall flat on his arse. To realise you're already typecast at such an early age must be a real ball breaker.

The Festival is overtly safe especially given the subject, and the producers rely too heavily in the formula they have culminated from past endeavors. The festival manages to deliver on that tried and true formula more than enough to keep the party going however.

Not exactly groundbreaking comedy, but Morris clearly knows his youthful audience demographic well, playing on their hang-ups as much as their aspirations.

It's the specificity of the stereotypes that Morris hangs out to dry that make the film so funny.

After the initial sticky patch, audiences are likely to find themselves amenable and even enthusiastic - much like the festival experience, in fact.

The Festival - a gloriously puerile celebration of mud and music...

One Room With A View

It all feels so disappointingly similar, retelling old jokes, backed by the rather old-fashioned narrative of a man trying to reclaim his ex-girlfriend.

It takes a little while to get going, but once it does The Festival is a funny take on a British summer institution.
