Coming-of-age road-trip movies are always fun to watch, especially when it involves dork boys trying to become men (think American Pie) . In The Inbetweeners, the 4 main characters Will, Simon, Jay, and Neil spend two weeks in Malia, Crete after their A Levels. Their trip was not without hiccups – plane delays, paltry accommodation…
