Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

CosmicPrune For twenty five years I have carried this film around as a pre-prepared answer to any question which includes the words "worst film". Of course I have seen worse films on TV at strange hours of the afternoon or early morning, but I have neither watched them in their entirety nor handed over my own hard-earned cash to see them. I reserve scores of one out of ten for some of those movies, and this one merits a score of two purely because I did manage to endure it all.This film is a tragic waste of the talent assembed to produce it. I'm not sure whether it's the script, the editing, the direction or all three which conspired to make it so bad but it's almost an achievement in itself that so many fine comedy actors were employed in pursuit of such a lost cause. The Carry On franchise was never intended to be thought-provoking but it's irreverence and cheekiness evoked a more innocent time which, while it may not have really been as innocent as it made out, was well and truly over by the time Columbus hit our theatres. Even with those qualities intact it would have been fairly excruciating in 1992, but it wasn't even that good. It isn't so much of an anachronism as an embarrassment and I'll bet there were a few tense conversations between actors and agents in the period following its release.

Eric Stevenson I guess I should probably mention some backstory on this film series. The "Carry On" series was a long running British movie franchise that started in the 1950's and (as best to my knowledge) featured unrelated comedies with the same actors. Sound familiar? It would be easy to say that this was just a Monty Python wannabe...except that it actually came out before Monty Python. It doesn't matter, because Monty Python is by far the superior series. I didn't know much about these films other than that they made jokes about naked women.That is in fact what I got. Wait, there was also this really annoying character who was obviously a gay stereotype. Almost every joke about him was that he was gay. I guess this film just holds up poorly. I'm surprised at how bad the production values of this film are. It was made in the 1990's, but it looks more like it was made in the 1970's. Maybe I just got a bad version. It seemed like there wasn't much of an attempt to make jokes of any kind. There was the occasional laugh, but that was it. I'm amazed that this was the first movie in the series in fourteen years! "Carry On Emanuelle" may have been bad enough to end this franchise for awhile, but this entry killed it off for good. I guess it's hard to judge as this is the first "Carry On" movie I've seen, but it seems like a waste of time or bad even by their own standards. *1/2

MartynGryphon This film is the biggest pile of doosh, it's been my misfortune to endure, I love the carry on films, and because I do, I have problems even excepting this pityful movies exsistence. Barbara Windsor and Joan Sims did the wise thing and refused to have anything to do with this debarcle. To include so called modern comics such as Rik Mayell, Alexi Sayle etc is an insult to the Carry on name. A movie HAS to be bad if the normally grotesque Julian Clarey, gives me the only chuckle of the film. The only 'true' Carry on regular in this movie was Jim Dale (and Peter Gilmore at a push). June Whitfield, Leslie Phillips, Jack Douglas & Bernard Cribbins, all made only a handful of appearances in the series, and do themselves no favours appearing in this arsefest. Lets put this into perspective.Sid James is Dead, Kenneth Williams is Dead, Kenneth Connor is Dead, Charles Hawtrey is Dead, Hattie Jacques is Dead, Peter Butterworth is Dead, Joan Sims is Dead. Bernard Bresslaw is Dead.These people along with Babs and Jim, WERE the Carry on movies, it was their magic and their comedic timing and delivery that made these films charming. Not because they were 'Carry on Films' but because THEY were in them, and the rapport they had as a working team, (even though Sid and Williams disliked each other), made that Carry on Magic. This film was nothing more than ghostriding.And if This movie wasn't damaging enough to the Carry on name, then I'm sure you'll all be sickened to hear that they're planning to make another. STRUTH!!!!

filmbuff69007 The problem with this film is there are too many alternative comedians in big parts when they are lousy.alexi sayle keith allen peter richardson they should never of been cast.yet rik mayall who does an excellent kenneth williams at the start of the movie gets one scene.rik mayall julian clary were excellent jim dale too.but bernard cribbins oh dear he relly was awful. and as for the yanks being smarter than us,well i expect it in a american film but a british one.when you think that the cast of only fools and horses dawn french lenny henry could of been used this does come across as a missed opportunity.
