When they're brought along on a holiday to Ibiza with Kevin's parents Ray (Creator/JamesFleet) and Shiela (Creator/LouisaRix), they aim to use the opportunity to hit it big musically by gaining the friendship superstar DJ Eyeball Paul (Creator/RhysIfans) and lose their virginities to two equally hormone-addled and awkward girls, Candice and Gemma (Creator/LauraFraser and Creator/TabithaWady). Needless to say, HilarityEnsues.

8	----
9	!!This film contains examples of the following tropes:
10	* AboveTheInfluence: Kevin doesn't physically take advantage of the drunk girl at the party, barring an attempt to kiss her, whereupon she bites his tongue out of reflex. He does claim that they did have sex when Perry asks, though.
11	* AccidentalHero: Kevin foils a bank robbery ''with his erection''.
12	* AllMenArePerverts: Kevin and Perry salivate over anything female, and Eyeball Paul has 'club babes' with names like 'Buttasha', 'Twattia' and 'Wankette'.
13	* AllWomenAreLustful: Kevin's mother is certainly no prude and the other girls in Ibiza are down for dirty fun themselves.
14	* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: After the car wash scene, Kevin and Perry are trudging home, complaining that they're too intellectual for manual labor only to be immediately distracted by an ongoing house party.
15	* BeachEpisode: This is the film version of the "Kevin The Teenager" sketches, predating ''Series/TheInbetweeners'' by a decade.
16	* BeautifulAllAlong: Candice and Gemma, at least once they spend several hours getting ready.
17	* BlatantLies: Perry [[spoiler: goes to apologize to Kevin after the latter discovered that he had filmed his parents having sex the night before.]] Rather than admit what he did was wrong and to get himself off the hook, Perry spins a ridiculous yarn about how he was filming an "interesting lizard" and that he followed it [[spoiler: into Kevin's parents room and didn't notice them making love because the lizard was really interesting.]] Kevin either believes him or doesn't seem to care, because he forgives him immediately after.
18	** The girl (as mentioned below) who claims to have slept with Kevin [[spoiler: before he became famous,]] despite loudly stating that she would never ever have sex with him.
19	* BrakeAngrily: Baz does this with the limo in order to get Eyeball Paul to stop putting his hands up Candice and Gemma's dresses.
20	* BrickJoke:
21	** The girl who Kevin lied about sleeping with at the house party early in the film appears at the end now claiming to have slept with him before he was famous.
22	** When trying to raise money to pay for their trip to Ibiza, Kevin and Perry are paid with a boiled egg each for washing a woman's car, which they are obviously disappointed with. Eyeball Paul later pays them the exact same way for doing menial tasks around his villa.
23	* BrokenPedestal: Eyeball Paul. Kevin and Perry idolise him initially and see him as their way to becoming superstar [=DJs=]. However, he uses them to perform all the dirty jobs around his villa. What really seals it is his attempt to humiliate the lads by playing the sex tape of Kevin's parents and messages to Candice and Gemma before threatening to destroy their white label mix. At this point, Big Baz has enough of him and punches him off the stage.
24	* CallBack: Kevin's parents sing "Wonderwall" to each other, much to Kevin's disgust. Kevin and Perry were both established to be fans of Music/{{Oasis}} during the original sketches.
25	* CatchPhrase: Many.
26	** "THAT IS SO UNFAIR!"
27	** "I am ''not'' your ''slave''!"
28	** "Havin' it large!"
29	** "Sorry, girls. No monsters."
30	* CaughtWithYourPantsDown: In the opening scene, Kevin is having a fantasy about shagging UsefulNotes/AnneBoleyn.
31	-->'''Sheila:''' Kevin! How's your homework going?
32	-->'''Kevin:''' Fine, until you came in! ''(throws book into a corner)''
33	* ComingOfAgeStory: Albeit a very weird one featuring a hilariously exaggerated depiction of the lives of two teenage boys.
34	* CreatorCameo: Enfield and Burke's starring roles aside, director Ed Bye appears as one of the Germans.
35	* CringeComedy: Oh, yes. From the boys' lame attempts to pick up women to them having to listen to Kevin's parents get it on, it's everywhere.
36	* CrossCastRole: Kathy Burke playing Perry.
37	* TheDogBitesBack: Big Baz punches out Eyeball Paul at the end of the film after taking too much abuse from him.
38	* EverybodyHasLotsOfSex: The main reason Kevin and Perry want to go to Ibiza is that this apparently happens over there. For the majority of the film, the only characters who actually do have sex are Kevin's parents until the finale, where several characters (including the man in the suitcase) are screwing on the beach.
39	* ExtremeDoormat: Kevin and Perry become Eyeball Paul's bitches in order to get into his good graces so he will play their mix at a popular nightclub. They don't seem to mind however and sing his praises even when the man isn't around. [[spoiler: Paul returns the favour by attempting to publicly humiliate them.]]
40	* EyeScream: During the end credits, Eyeball Paul's habit of taking vodka directly into his eyeball comes back to bite him, when he finds it's detached and is now floating in the bottle.
41	* FanserviceExtra: One of the girls in Kevin's funeral ImagineSpot shows up wearing only a BlackBraAndPanties. There's also a number of topless girls at an Ibiza beach and the bank teller with the prominent cleavage in the bank robbery scene.
42	* GagPenis: Kevin and Perry's random erections are a RunningGag throughout the film. Kevin even foils a bank robbery when his erection sets off the alarm.
43	* GayBestFriend: Candice and Gemma have a pair of these who are a couple. Kevin and Perry intially mistake them for the girls' boyfriends.
44	* GermanicEfficiency: The Germans march everywhere in step like a military formation and even dance that way.
45	* HomePornMovie: Perry films Kevin's parents in the act and Eyeball Paul ends up broadcasting it in the club with Kevin and Perry's song. It works out, as the lads' mix becomes massively successful and Kevin's parents go on to write a book on sex.
46	* HormoneAddledTeenager: Kevin and Perry are a pair of utter perverts who just want to lose their virginities. Candice and Gemma too, to a lesser extent.
47	* {{Jerkass}}: Eyeball Paul, who uses Kevin and Perry's admiration of him to his own ends.
48	-->'''Eyeball Paul:''' You'll see I've just had a bangin' shit in the bog. Won't flush. You might have to push it down.
49	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Kevin - he's horrible to his parents, but he really does love them, as shown how he hugs them and expresses appreciation for them while they comfort him after he and Perry have an argument.
50	* LikesOlderWomen: Carrying over from the original sketch show, Perry lusts over Kevin's mother, a woman in her forties. He repeatedly gets an erection when around her, [[spoiler:and even secretly films her having sex with her husband]]. He still does express interest in women closer to his age too, so it's not exclusive.
51	* MeaningfulName: Eyeball Paul is called so because he pours bottles of vodka into his eye. He explains that the alcohol gets into his bloodstream quicker this way. Comes back to bite him in the end, as his eyeball winds up detaching and falling into the bottle.
52	* NegativeContinuity: Both Kevin and Perry were established as having lost their virginity (to the same girl) in ''Series/HarryEnfieldAndChums''. In the movie, they're still virgins.
53	* TheNicknamer: Eyeball Paul insists on calling Kevin and Perry "Ginger Pubes" and "Sad Act" instead of using their names.
54	* NotSoDifferentRemark: Kevin's mother tells Kevin that the problem with him and his father is that they're too alike. Both of them state together, "What?! [[CatchPhrase That is]] [[BorrowedCatchPhrase so unfair!]]"
55	* OhCrap: Kevin and Perry share one when they discover that Eyeball Paul has spliced [[spoiler: the video that Perry recorded of Mr and Mrs Patterson having sex into their mix, and is playing it in front of dozens of people at the nightclub, including Kevin's parents.]] They stop caring however when their song turns out to be a hit.
56	* ParentalSexualitySquick: Kevin is openly disgusted at even the slightest thought of his parents getting it on. [[spoiler: Doubly so when [[CovertPervert Perry films them in the act]].]]
57	* PrecisionFStrike: Eyeball Paul's "'''Fuck'''... off!"
58	* PrisonRape: Perry worries about this happening if he and Kevin get caught for credit card fraud.
59	-->'''Perry:''' We'll go to prison and get buggered by bigger boys.
60	-->'''Kevin:''' You will. You're small.
61	* ProductPlacement: All the cars in the film are Ford Focuses.
62	* RagingStiffie: Several times. The most prominent one is when Kevin gets hard looking at the cleavage of a bank teller and he inadvertently pushes the alarm button warning the police a robbery is going on.
63	* RightThroughHisPants:
64	** The final scene on the beach [[spoiler:when Kevin and Perry finally get together with Candice and Gemma]]. Averted with Kevin's parents.
65	** If you look closely, among the various couples having sex on the beach is the man in the suitcase, who is having sex with a woman in a suitcase.
66	* SheCleansUpNicely: [[BeautifulAllAlong Candice]] and [[BigBeautifulWoman Gemma]] after they get rid of their pimples and wax themselves.
67	* TeensAreMonsters: A less extreme example, but Kevin certainly behaves like a monster toward his parents. Except when he's had a row with Perry and is upset.
68	* ToiletHumor: The 'floater' scene.
69	* VirginShaming: Pre-Ibiza, Kevin and Perry are subjected to a malicious chant of "Virgins! Virgins! Virgins!" by what seems an entire street full of their peers.
