The Inbetweeners’ Joe Thomas crowdsurfs a weekend of misadventures and self-abasing nudity in Iain Morris’s likable comedy
Director Iain Morris first enlivened this quiet-to-dead corner of the cinematic silly season with the astonishingly successful Inbetweeners diptych. Having packed those boys off with a happy ending (stop sniggering), he now attempts something only slightly different: bussing Joe Thomas – perhaps the most immediately available ’Tweener – and a grab bag of emergent talent to the Leeds music festival to recreate this muddily parochial rite-of-passage for an audience too young, too late or too worldly-wise to snap up day passes for this year’s festivities. Chasing the youth pound this flagrantly is always a risk, as those who suffered The Bad Education Movie can attest, yet The Festival’s pursuit remains broadly likable, and Morris again backs it up with real comedy nous.
This film-maker is now so confident that he can toss...

Exclusive: Alex Lawther, Pauline Étienne, Jonah Hauer-King lead cast on UK comedy; first image revealed.
WestEnd Films has boarded world sales ahead of Cannes on Film4 and BFI-backed UK comedy Old Boys (working title), which features rising stars including The Imitation Game actor Alex Lawther and The Nun lead Pauline Étienne, who makes her English-language debut.
Production wraps this weekend on Toby MacDonald’s under-the-radar coming-of-age feature debut, which has been filming in locations across Sussex, UK.
Also starring are Jonah Hauer-King, currently filming opposite Bel Powley in Ashes In The Snow, Denis Ménochet (Inglourious Basterds) and Joshua McGuire (Mr. Turner).
Inspired by Edmond Rostand’s classic Cyrano de Bergerac story, the film is written by The Bad Education Movie co-writer Freddy Syborn and is produced by first-timer Luke Morris.
In the school-set re-working of Cyrano, an awkward but imaginative pupil (Lawther) helps the handsome but spectacularly dim school-hero (Hauer-King) pursue the fiery daughter (Étienne) of a visiting...

A dreadful tradition that dates back to On The Buses is enthusiastically updated
Every now and then I find myself in a pop-cultural blind spot. Confessions: I didn’t know there were Captain America movies until the trailer for the third one came out; I thought Jeffrey Dean Morgan was Robert Downey Jr well into the 2010s; and I still don’t know what an Owl Of Ga’Hoole is. But no major film in recent years has caught me quite as unawares as The Bad Education Movie, a Jack Whitehall-starring adaptation of a BBC3 sitcom I’d never heard of, made on a not-insignificant budget and released into cinemas this August.
I watched the film on DVD this week, ashamed at having become the kind of “casual viewer” I normally disdain – the sort who actively benefits from the avalanche of exposition that kicks off each and every big-screen...

The Horrible Histories team tackle the early life of William Shakespeare. A funny family treat is the end result.
“Half as good as Shakespeare In Love”, is what Bill’s co-creator, Laurence Rickard, says they were aiming to create.
This whimsical imagining of William Shakespeare’s ‘lost years’ certainly pays one or two playful homages to that other less-than-accurate biopic, but its real heritage can be traced to Monty Python and Blackadder. In the fashion of the former, the sextet of main actors, already known for their ensemble work on Cbbc’s Horrible Histories and Sky’s Yonderland, share the majority of the roles between them. Each has a main role, and Mathew Baynton proves a lovably optimistic Shakespeare at the heart of it all. Yet it is the minor characters – ‘the body collector’ and ‘sausage guy’ being particular favourites – who bring this world to life.

Sinister 2 and The Bad Education Movie also chart.
Straight Outta Compton, the story of hip hop crew Nwa, has topped the UK movie buzz chart for a second week ahead of its release this weekend.
The film, directed by F Gary Gray, generated nearly 9,000 mentions across social media, news, forums and blogs, according to analysis firm Way To Blue.
Of those, 17.3% expressed intent to view, meaning they would look to convert comments into cinema tickets.
Horror sequel Sinister 2 ranked second after a week on release with close to 7,500 mentions and a strong intent to view of 26.2%.
British comedy The Bad Education Movie, an adaptation of a BBC series, came third with nearly 5,200 mentions (19%).
Due to the volume of titles on release in the UK, Way To Blue raised its cut off point to 900 mentions.
This means that Vacation (522 mentions), The Transporter Refueled (186 mentions) and Ricki and the Flash (81 mentions) are among the titles that did...

It follows The Inbetweeners and Mrs Brown’s Boys on to the big screen, but does little to convince that it’s more than cheap tat looking to turn a tidy profit
The TV-derived summertime special has again become a fixture of the British film industry, as it was in the heyday of Please Sir! The Bad Education Movie, an end-of-term runout for Jack Whitehall’s delinquent teacher Alfie Wickers, opens in roughly the same slot in which The Inbetweeners and Mrs Brown’s Boys spin-offs profited in previous years. The numbers on those films amply bear out the rationale that putting any cheap tat in enough cinemas will turn a tidy profit; here, then, is one last jolly for Class K before they collect their exam results, and Whitehall becomes a blip on the Hollywood radar.
The school’s-out vibe generates a truly obnoxious first half-hour: you sense Whitehall...

Jack Whitehall has told us that Bad Education will most likely come to an end with the big screen upgrade.
"This is our characters going out on a bang, and if this is where it ends, then I think it's a really good place to leave them," he said.
The Bad Education Movie transports Whitehall's inept teacher Alfie Wickers and his classmates to a crazy trip to Cornwall. What can go wrong?
Talking about the film, Whitehall said: "We've had a lot more money than we had with the series so we threw everything at it. When you're at the BBC there are certain rules you have to apply to, whereas with the film, taste and decency issues can go out the window."
He also spoke about the failed attempt to make a Us version on ABC, and said the film is not expected to be a hit on that side of the Atlantic.

Jack Whitehall is on the wrong side of the law in The Bad Education Movie
The pair are starring in the film spinoff to the BBC comedy Bad Education, which presumably has an important need for them other than Enfield's accessories.
Mathew Horne and Sarah Solemani also reprise their roles from the sitcom, alongside the pupils played by Ethan Lawrence, Layton Williams, Nikki Runeckles, Kae Alexander, Weruche Opia, Jack Binstead and Charlie Wernham.

What would you change about the education system? The real one, I mean, not the one in Bad Education (unless they are the same).

Jack Whitehall's Bad Education will soon make its way onto the big screen, as Alfie Wickers's class of tearaways go on an epic trip to Cornwall. What could go wrong?
Layton Williams plays the flamboyant Stephen in the BBC comedy, and he will return alongside his madcap friends in the movie version. The actor and dancer told Digital Spy that shooting the film was an emotional experience.
He said: "We were so used to coming together now like once a year, so I think this time it was a little bit like, 'Oh my god, this actually probably could, well, we never know, be like the last time we're all gonna be filming and working together!'
"So it was a bit sad saying goodbye, but we'll go onto other things, and we're definitely friends forever, really."

The hit Bcc comedy comes to the big screen this Summer with The Bad Education Movie seeing Jack Whitehall’s immature teacher Alfie Wickers embark on a chaotic class trip with his tear away students. This might go over the heads of our American friends, but those in Ireland and the U.K. should know know exactly what to expect. No doubt, this will hope to emulate the success of fellow t.v. to movie converts Alan Partridge, The Inbetweeners, and Mrs. Brown, and judging from the below trailer, which brings with it a fair amount of chuckles, it shouldn’t have a problem, with Whitehall being his usual liable self, and joined by an ables cast, including Harry Enfield, Matthew Horne, and Game of Thrones’ Ian Glen. The Bad Education Movie hits our shores August 21st.

Jack Whitehall brings Bad Education to the big screen in The Bad Education Movie. Here's the first trailer...
The last British comedy show that picked itself a prime August release slot on its way to UK cinemas was The Inbetweeners Movie, and its sequel. Both made huge amounts of money, both landed in the top ten films of the year at the British box office, and both are regularly respun on home formats. The money is still coming in.
High hopes, then, for The Bad Education Movie, based on the hit comedy show of almost the same name. Jack Whitehall stars, reprising the role of Alfie Wickers, and the cast includes Jeremy Irvine, Joanna Scanlan, Talulah Riley, Harry Enfield, Matthew Horne and Sarah Selomani.
Elliot Hegarty is directing, with Whitehall and Freddy Syborn penning the script. Here's the first trailer...
The Bad Education Movie arrives on Friday August 21st.

Jack Whitehall is a badass teacher in the first trailer for The Bad Education Movie.
Alfie Wickers and his tearaway pupils are back for a big-screen version of the hit BBC comedy, which arrives in cinemas in the UK and Ireland on Friday, August 21.
In the trailer, Alfie is itching to take his class for one last trip away together after completing their exams - but soon comes up against opposition from disgruntled parents who don't think he's an appropriate role model.
In response, he resolves to take the students "on a holiday that's so bats**t mental that if it was a movie, everyone would be played by Nicolas Cage", and they soon tear up Cornwall, raising havoc, insulting the locals and upsetting the resident wildlife.
Harry Enfield, Mathew Horne and Sarah Solemani will reprise their roles from the sitcom, alongside the pupils played by Ethan Lawrence, Layton Williams,...
