Paul Evans I made the effort to watch it, I felt I should have had something out of the experience, committing an hour and a half of my time to it. what a total and utter disaster of a movie. They should really have finished once they completed Carry on Behind, the last really great movie in the series. A huge shame for Joan Sims, she had the best pedigree coming into it, and she was appallingly served, what a waste of her talent. Patrick Mower and Judy Geeson were a total shambles, neither should have been cast, no timing, no humour, coupled with the pathetic script they were all doomed. The best element had to be Windsor Davies, well suited to the role, the only one in it that got me to crack half a smile2/10 They should have stopped half way through, too many faces missing, the moment had passed.
TheLittleSongbird Don't take this the wrong way, I really like the Carry On movies but this movie was awful. First of all, the film looks fairly cheap, no really clever costumes and sets as far as I could see. And I actually found the music annoying in alternative to quirky, and the direction was sloppy, complete with messy pacing. The dialogue is not funny, the gags are poorly timed, the story isn't there and the actors really struggle with the material(no wonder). Kenneth Connor has been great in a number of Carry Ons, but that was when he was supporting. I found him bland here, and Peter Butterworth looks bored. Joan Sims is wasted, and I just missed Sidney James(who sadly passed away), Kenneth Williams and Charles Hawtrey, these guys even with superficial material always seemed to know what they were doing. Overall, a complete mess, with the fact that it is quite short being pretty much the only redeeming quality. 1/10 Bethany Coz
jburke293 Possibly the worst British comedy film I have ever seen. Firstly, Sid James was the heart and soul of these films. They had no business going on after he passed. Second, there were no outstanding performances in this film, with one exception. Long time Carry On matron Joan Sims had a part in this film that really was unworthy of her, the same for Kenneth Connor who I absolutely loved as the funeral director with a weak heart in 'Allo 'Allo. Judy Geeson was as beautiful as ever she was in any other film, but her character wasn't well written in my opinion and Patrick Mower seemed to me to keep trying to come off as a younger, randier Reg Varney from On The Buses. In fact, I felt as though I were watching an episode of On The Buses many times in this film. The brand of humor was very similar. A bit too similar. The way the men and women were always nipping off for a good time was too much like Stan and Jack with the clippies. The only stand out performance in this film has to be Windsor Davies as the beleaguered Sgt Major, wanting to obey Capt. Melly's orders but knowing full well that the 'soldiers' will retaliate if pushed too far. They even recycled the only almost funny gag in the film. The first time Cap. Melly get's tripped into a pile of excrement, it's almost funny, the second time, it's already boring. The business with the men and women sneaking around for amorous encounters throughout the film is more worthy of a teen summer camp film, not a film starring adults who are supposed to be operating an anti-aircraft battery during WW2.
Michael Lancaster Undoubtedly the WORST out of all the 'Carry On' films. Yes, it IS as bad as everyone seems to think! No Sid James or Kenneth Williams. Enough said!In fact, there is only or two 'original' actors in this film, and even they aren't the 'famous' ones that come to mind when you think of "Carry On'. The film's script is useless, the acting is pathetic and it seems that none of the actors that are drafted in this plot want to pull it off. Maybe they could see that it was a mistake from the beginning filming began?????? If you want to watch a fantastic Carry On film, then give 'Cleo', 'Khyber' or 'Screaming' a view. THOSE are what Carry On films were all about!
