Develiker terrible... so disappointed.

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

sqdb This film was the one where the Carry On team go on a package holiday to the Elsbels resort. Needless to say, things don't go as planned...This has always been one of the weaker Carry On films, in my opinion. The cast look bored, they don't have enough to do and it just isn't very funny. Barbara Windsor plays her usual slutty character and she is starting to look her age here. Peter Butterworth has a larger role than usual, though and I found him to be quite funny in this. The film was also the last Carry On appearance of Charles Hawtrey, who is frequently seen in the film with a bottle or a drink in his hand, which was perhaps a reference to his personal life. June Whitfield and Kenneth Connor both returned to the series in this film, after an absence of many years. Carol Hawkins and Sally Geeson (sister of Judy Geeson) provide the glamour. They also both appeared in the Bless This House film, released the same year and also starring Sid James. Carol would also later appear in Carry on Behind and Sally had a cameo in Carry On Girls. Scottish actor/comedian Jimmy Logan also provides the "comic relief" and plays the typical randy holidaymaker, who later forms a romantic relationship with Barbara Windsor's character. I had never heard of him before and, quite frankly, I found his character very overbearing and irritating and out of place. Most of the other series regulars appear, though Hattie Jacques has a smaller part as the hotel cook. TV actor Ray Brooks, who later starred in the 1980s TV series Big Deal, also appears as a randy waiter.The film has a noticeable lack of jokes, relying too much on innuendo to carry the film. This would become more prevalent in the 1970s Carry On films. To sum up, this is not one of the funniest of the Carry On films and I would only recommend it to Carry On completists or fans of cheesy 1970s comedy. Definitely one of the less funnier entries in the series and I would only recommend this to Carry On completists.

Ephraim Gadsby "Carry On" movies come in three basic flavors. Several early ones are heart-warming but still happily silly. The historical and movie spoofs ("Jack", "Spying", "Cowboy", "Cleo", "Jungle" etc.) are preferred by many aficionados. The third kind are set in ('70s) modern dress with scripts containing wall-to-wall double-entendres. And single-entendres."Carry on Abroad" is a quintessential example of the third type. Of the long-term "Carry On" repertory company Connor, Williams, Hawtrey, Sims, Jacques, James, Windsor, Bresslaw and Butterworth appear. Adding June Whitfield (making her first "Carry On" since "Nurse" more than a dozen years before) and the twitching Jack Douglas (in his second "Carry On" movie outing) gives the film a nicely representative "Carry On" cast."Carry On Abroad" takes its cast on a tour to a foreign resort (actually, the parking lot of the studio), where Murphy's Law is proved at every turn. Kenneth Williams runs the tour agency, Peter Butterworth and Hattie Jacques run the hotel that hasn't been completed, and the rest run rampant.Some of the attitudes are offensive by today's standards – but some of the attitudes were offensive back then, too. Some of the attitudes will continue to be offensive in the future, whether posterity becomes more Victorian in sentiment, or whether it continues to expand into politically-correct, anti-free speech liberalism. "Carry On" movies of this flavor were made to offend."Carry On Abroad" does have a serious bone in its body, too, in the June Whitfield sub-plot, but that doesn't detract us long.The six stars should be taken in context. "Carry On" movies were made as cheaply as possible and are not meant to be judged in the same way as one appraises, say, "Doctor Zhivago"

TheLittleSongbird Of course it isn't my favourite Carry On, but it is a surprisingly entertaining instalment in the franchise. I did watch this thinking is it going to be good, after hearing a lot of negative things, saying how disappointing it was. It's not their best, but it is hugely entertaining. There are some slow moments in the plot, the script is a tad uneven in places, and it is noticeably lower in budget than a Carry On like Up The Khyber and Screaming. However, that said, there is a lot to enjoy. There are many priceless scenes, especially the prison scene(when the prison guard does the rude hand gesture, and Kenneth Williams cries "Dammed Filth") though my favourite was the hotel rapidly falling to bits, made worse by one of the characters jumping on the bed, and the bed falls through the ceiling. Another treat is the performances. Kenneth Williams and Sidney James are both hilarious, likewise with Charles Hawtrey and Kenneth Connor, and Barbara Windsor and Joan Sims are consistently great. All in all, enjoyable, not the best, but not as bad as critics say it is. 7/10 Bethany Cox

didi-5 Lots of people dismiss this as one of the weaker entries in the 'Carry On' series, but I think it represents the typical storyline and characterisations which showed the team at their best.Here, Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Joan Sims, June Whitfield, Kenneth Connor, Jimmy Logan, Barbara Windsor, Charles Hawtrey, Peter Butterworth, Bernard Bresslaw, and Hattie Jacques liven up proceedings when they take a holiday in the most horrendous hotel and resort there is to stay in.With a character name like 'Stuart Farquhar', Williams gets the brunt of a lot of the jokes with the hotel host (Butterworth) constantly mispronouncing all or both. And throw in a rainstorm, a bowl of punch, some monks, randy husbands and stuffy wives, and busty blondes, and you have the ingredients for a 'Carry On' success!
