It's the film that everyone absolutely must go out and see this week!

We've watched all three series from beginning to end since 2008, laughing and cringing and wishing that Simon would finally get with Carly, so now it's time to see the boys as they hit the big screen.

I hope they don't ruin the legacy that the TV series has created, but judging by the adverts and trailers it seems to be just as you'd expect it.

The four protagonists, as it were - half-civilised nerd Will (Simon Bird), romantic masochist Simon (Joe Thomas), sexual braggart/ actual virgin Jay (James Buckley) and lanky simpleton Neil (Blake Harrison) – celebrate the end of school and Simon's being dumped by Carly by going for a laddish holiday to Malia in Crete.

This should definitely be a homegrown hit, and it's great to see us holding our own, even if it is with ill-mannered, crude jokes, bad behaviour, hmm, maybe it's not such a great British representation... but hey, it's a laugh!
