The Inbetweeners Movie

Ben Palmer's The Inbetweeners Movie opened in the UK in August 2011 and took over £45 million at the British box office in its first run. That made it, at the time, the highest-grossing British comedy film ever made, and the third-highest-grossing British film of 2011, after Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 and The King's Speech. It won Best Comedy at the British Comedy Awards 2011 and the Empire Award for Best Comedy 2012, and was nominated for the BAFTA for Best British Film 2012.

It continues the E4 sitcom The Inbetweeners, created by Iain Morris and Damon Beesley and broadcast on Channel 4's youth strand from 2008 to 2010 across three series and eighteen episodes. The original cast (Simon Bird, James Buckley, Joe Thomas and Blake Harrison) return; all four had been cast in 2007, when none of them had held a major screen role. Morris and Beesley wrote the film, and Palmer, who had directed several episodes of the television series, directed it.

The Greek scenes were shot largely in Magaluf in Mallorca, not in Crete, despite the fictional setting in Malia, to keep production costs down. A 2014 sequel, The Inbetweeners 2, set in Australia and directed by Morris and Beesley themselves, did similar business to more divided reviews and effectively closed the franchise. The four leads have since worked widely in British television comedy on separate projects: Bird in Friday Night Dinner and Such Brave Girls, Thomas in Fresh Meat, Buckley in White Gold and Harrison in The Bay and Three Pines.
