best movie i've ever seen.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Boring. Dull. Unpleasant attempts at jokes.Sure. It has sex. It would have been revolutionary back, say in the 1970s. After Windows 95, sex is quite accessible. And the scenes are prude, just enough to give the producers bragging rights.And the fun density is close to zero. Some witty remarks and that is about it. But there is enough space to wonder why I am watching this kindergarten crap? I mean: the frustrated virgin boy says something about a glory hole to the not virgin ignorant peasant girl. And ha-ha, she is going to google it with her comfortably close smart phone and, ha-ha she is awkward. A joke bringing the grandchildren (who know) together with the grandparents (who can google).This is not a comedy. This is something that got classified as comedy for the lack of a better choice.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch

Maybe it's because I cannot watch this at home (the local broadcasters won't even think about bringing this in as it is in blatant violation of broadcast rules here), but I enjoy this show immensely. University life in the UK is definitely different from what I experienced in Singapore and Australia.I suppose the show isn't supposed to be a general view of undergraduate life in the UK, but this particular group of undergraduates are interesting enough to watch over 3 seasons now.Kingsley and JP are the 2 protagonists of the series. The latter has a seemingly lasseiz-faire attitude to life yet displays an endearing vulnerability at times. Kingsley initially appears to be a homeboy stepping out into the world for the first time, but in time becomes a man of his own.The other characters support the series well enough. There is the studious know-it-all who tries not to look down on everyone (Oregon), the insecure one who occasionally manages to break through the stereotype (Howard), the hippie-wannabe (Vod) and the girlfriend (sorry, that's the way I keep seeing her - Josie).I enjoy following the characters around their simple-on-the-outside-but- complex-on-the-inside lives, the interactions between the housemates, the witty banter, the music and the score. Even the rough language is enjoyable most of the time.Most of the stories are interesting enough, although, as can be expected from any recurring series, there are some dud episodes. But all in all, it still entertains, though I do sometimes wonder if British undergraduates really do behave in this way.

This show reminds me of a much wittier, much dirtier version of Apatow's 'Undeclared'. I found this show from looking into the shows related to The Inbetweeners, which I always found cheesy but extremely watchable. I found out Joe Thomas (Simon Cooper in Inbetweers) was in this college comedy and I became intrigued. Then, I watched a few episodes and I was sold.This is one of the better college comedy shows that has come around in a while, and considering how deep on the net I had to dig to find out about it, I am sure it is massively under-watched in the U.S. Hopefully it gets up on Netflix or something so it can get some recognition over here.There are plenty of cliché situations, but these are clichés because they truly do tend to happen to everyone who attends college, whether in the U.S. or the U.K or wherever. I love the unique blending of characters and the filter-less nature of the dialogue. Anyone in college, recently graduated, or seeking some nostalgia should have no problem relating to the relationship drama, the wit, the parties, and the sense of confusion which naturally arise from throwing a bunch of young people into one small area (be it the college on a larger scale, or the house/dorm on a smaller one).

Definitely an interesting new take on an aspect of life we previously thought differently of - the life of a group of university students during what is meant to be the best days of their lives.My favourite aspect of the storyline is Kingsley and Josie's relationship, which brings to mind Tim and Dawn from The Office - two people who obviously have feelings for each other, but unable to bring themselves to confess to it, partly because she has a boyfriend and lacks the willpower to dump him. But as Dawn and Tim eventually got together, hopefully so will Kingsley and Josie. Even though their later interaction was a little difficult to watch, because it was obvious that it was their love for one another that was making them argue and fight so much, but one still felt rather uncomfortable that neither could defend themselves when the other launched into them - Josie experienced it in the early stages of the season, and Kingsley in the later part of the season. Vod and Oregon's interaction, though, was also particularly fun to watch - it was obvious that Oregon was trying to emulate Vod to disguise her privileged upbringing, even agreeing with Vod's open disgust for students who have cars, despite Oregon having one herself. Vod's reaction upon discover her best friend was lying about herself and was the very thing she hated was a very good idea indeed.But I am also impressed with J.P. - for all the flak public schoolboys tend to receive, and the general perception of being prim, proper and well-mannered that's associated with them, it's nice to see a more realistic perspective of one for a change - yes, he is arrogant, but he is comically arrogant, and incredibly hedonistic. It was particularly satisfying for him to say outright "Am I just the posh guy nobody wants to hang out with?"The best laughs, though, came from Howard. There's nothing people like more in a sitcom or TV show than a socially inept guy, and a guy with a regionally distinct accent, and, while I appreciated Josie's sweet nature and Welsh accent, Kingsley's insecurity, JP's arrogance and posh accent, Vod's forthrightness, and Oregon's insecurity over her image, none of those traits put together would've equalled Howard, who definitely killed two birds with one stone. I'd say, meanwhile, that my favourite part of the series was the very final scene, where very few loose ends were tied up, but we were satisfied they would be answered very soon - it felt satisfying to see JP finally show that he was human by mourning for his father while in the shower, and to see Oregon and Vod's friendship at least partially resume. I am glad, though, that the Kingsley/Josie saga wasn't quite wrapped up, but that it was clear that Josie no longer felt angry with Kingsley. I shall continue watching with great interest.
