I'm afraid you're revealing your ignorance in that particular comment. In the UK children simply aren't kept back for "failing to graduate". If someone in high school only gets very very low grades in their exams, they leave school with low exam grades. That's all there is to it. There's no "graduation" per se, and no "permitting" or "not permitting" that graduation either.

I haven't seen this tv series either. It seems to me that even in this movie you were able to recognise the chemistry between the lead protagonists that presumably exists in the series. As such, it seems likely that these actors are working with less-than-ideal material in an extended runtime from your average tv episode and fans of the series are liable to be rather more forgiving than newcomers who have little reason to care what happens to these (loveable?) scumbags.

I suspect there would be similar problems if they eventually release a "Misfits" movie.

The Tv show is a future classic and really does capture a generation that unfortunately the film doesn't come close to measuring up to. The reviewer even comments on the chemistry, i would suggest they take a day and watch the 3 series.
That said, i'm sure if you have an english reporter who'd seen the series previously this would have got at least a C.

I'm guessing you probably have a chop to awful shows like 2 and a half men, you american chaps have no clue what comedy is. The series and subsequent film is about some realistic British high school lads an area which you have zero experience, therefore it doesn't surprise me that you wouldn't understand the humour.

I have never seen the tv show; it's on my Netflix queue. Although it is a teenage sex comedy, it's a well made and funny teenage sex comedy. The characters were well developed so that I got to care about them and their story arcs. And kudos for featuring a plus-sized girl as a love interest. She had some good comeback lines.
