How do you review a Carry On film?
28 February 2022
How do you review a Carry On film? They're so quintessentially British in terms of humour and situation, and basically everyone in the UK knows what a Carry On film is and what you expect from them.

I'd say this ranks pretty highly in the series - 31 were made altogether and this would definitely be in my top 10. Not my absolute favourite (that's Carry On Matron) but it has all the bits that make Carry On films what they are - a lot of the "classic" core cast, a fairly simple plotline, and double entendres galore. The main plot is basically Sid Boggle, played by Sid James, and his friend Bernie Lugg see a film about a nudist camp called "Paradise" and decide to take their somewhat straight laced girlfriends to it. Of course not all of it goes to plan and we end up with some fairly predictable but still gently funny scenes that we see in most Carry On films.

If you like Carry On films you'll like this, and will no doubt have probably seen it as it plays on ITV3 pretty regularly.

It was after "Camping" that the series perhaps began to wane, other than for a couple of exceptions, and through the 1970s there were a few real duds made and then the series stopped until 1992's not-that-great Carry on Columbus.
