In the UK, the award-winning, British adult comedy television series “The Inbetweeners” was popular as it featured four Sixth form students (Will McKenzie, Simon Cooper, Jay Cartwright and Neil Sutherland)  as they prepare for their A-level examinations.

The main character Will relocates to a state school after attending private school because of financial problems and he is bullied.  But he manages to meet three new friends as they try to become sociable and talk about them wanting to have sexual exploits.

The three season series (6 episodes each, 2008-2010) ended with the guys finishing school and going their own separate ways.

With series creators Damon Beesley and Iain Morris wanting a fitting ending for the four young men, a movie was developed a film which was released in theaters in the UK in August 2011.

The film focuses on the four young misfits who have finished their A-levels and vacation in Malia, Crete (Greece) to get away from what troubles they are having currently in life.  And while on vacation, the four teens meet Alison, Lucy, Lisa and Jane.  Will these four misfits finally score?

With the release of the film, the soundtrack of “The Inbetweeners Movie” has been released.

The soundtrack features music from The Streets Mike Skinner who provides ten tracks to the soundtrack.  While many are familiar with the hip hop beats of the Streets, for Skinner’s contribution to the soundtrack, most are electronic dance club style of tracks, while the track “Waving not Drowning” uses a piano composition.

The notable tracks on the soundtrack for rock music are former The Rascals frontman Miles Kane with his upbeat rock track “Quicksand”, “The Vines” sexually enthused rock track “Gimme Love” and Deer Ticks “Twenty Miles”and Morning Runner’s “Gone Up in Flames”.

And as those comprise the rock tracks on the soundtrack, there is also pop tracks such as Ke$ha’s Circut Remix of her song “Blow”, the early 2011 popular charting hit “We No Speak Americano (Radio Edit)” from Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP and Sean Kingston’s “Party All Night (Sleep All Day) (Album Version)”.

And then there are the dance tracks such as Axwell feat. Errol Reid’s “Nothing But Love”, Calvin Harris’ “Feel So Close (Benny Benassi Remix)”, Mike Skinner and Laura Vane’s “We Are Go” and Everything Evertyhing’s “MY KZ, YR BF (Grum Remix)”.

Also, included in the soundtrack are seven short audio clips from the film as the guys discuss sex.

The CD insert features several pages of photos from the film and track listing/production credits.

“The Inbetweeners Movie” soundtrack will no doubt entertain fans of the film and it does try to balance rock, pop and electronic music.  But it’s quite subjective of what one wants to hear.  I found myself listening to the rock tracks quite a bit and “We No Speak no Americano (Radio Edit)” most of the time but this is one of those soundtracks that tries to please everyone with a balance of different musical genres.  But overall, a decent soundtrack.
