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

4/5

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...

2/5

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.

Nothing funny in this film. A total waste of talent.

It's been a little while since I saw this and I can't remember a single thing about it.

Painfully unfunny and kind of annoying. And this is coming from an Inbetweeners lover.

Jan 20, 2019

Basically 'The Inbetweeners go to a Festival'. Probably on a par with the 2nd Inbetweeners movie (laugh out loud moments mixed with gags that miss completely). I enjoyed it, and would encourage people to push on through the first 15 minutes which is quite offputtingly poor.

Typical Brit comedy that follows The Inbetweeners formula, in which Joe Thomas essentially plays exactly the same character as he does here. Some laughs, some slapstick moments too. Doesn't make me want to buy tickets to the next Glastonbury.

Haven't seen anything quite this dire for some time. Terrible plot, awful unlikeable characters, cliched and gimmicky. Half a star is being generous.
