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
