Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Brennan Camacho
Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Frances Chung
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin
The movie really just wants to entertain people.

I watched CARRY ON CAMPING for the first time last night and I absolutely loved it. In fact, what's not to love about it? Pretty much all of the gang is here, the jokes and gags come thick and fast, and most of them are very funny indeed. It's the classic seaside postcard movie, saucy and yet innocent at the same time, a sunny, nostalgic film that makes you pine for the comedies of yesteryear.The plot is simplicity in itself - Sid and Bernie (played by favourites Sid James and Bernard Bresslaw) go on a camping holiday with their frumpy girlfriends and soon get involved in various shenanigans involving other members of the campsite. Charles Hawtrey bags a major supporting role, Kenneth Williams and Hattie Jacques have plenty of chemistry, and Terry Scott and Betty Marsden have a good double act too. Add in plenty of nubile young women (headed by Barbara Windsor in her most-remembered role) and you have a classic in the making.There's plenty here to enjoy, and even the slightly lacklustre ending doesn't let it down. There's THAT infamous exercise scene that everyone remembers, of course, but I think my favourite moments involve the much-loved (by ME, anyway!) Peter Butterworth playing the campsite owner, Mr Fiddler: "A pound!". Great delivery, and a highlight in a film full of 'em.

This is the "pur sang"of "Carry on",the benchmark against which all other examples of the genre must be compared and found wanting.Here is everything that the self - appointed comedy fascists who want to tell us what we can and can't laugh at detest. Nearly every taboo they have tried to impose is gleefully smashed in very short order.This movie is proof that freedom of expression in art has been brutally repressed,presumably in the name of progress.Since the demise of "'allo,'allo" on TV nothing as remotely as funny as the most average "Carry on" has been allowed on our screens at home,presumably on the grounds that we might laugh at it and cause the end of civilisation as the Highgate Mafia imagine it.The scene in the tent with Miss Brown and Meesrs Scott and Hawtrey is brilliantly done - Laurel and Hardy would have been proud to have made it. Wonderful comedy actors are given a brilliantly funny script.That's all there is to it.It will make you laugh immoderately - I guarantee it. "Carry on Camping" - even the title is a little bit whoops dearie -was not considered to be anything particularly special at the time it was released,yes it was funny,but in an era of funny films it sort of got lost in the mix;Carry on fans loved it of course,but it had a relatively short shelf life and it needed the invention of the VCR to resurrect it and eventually lift it to its proper place at the top of the pantheon of British movie comedy. Be happy that,up to now,the intellectuals have not "discovered" the "Carry on" canon and "explained" the hell out of it.to us peasants. Fearfully I can envisage the day when the "Post - Modern - Ironic" brigade decide that Sid James is the new Jacques Tati,i.e. not actually funny.Until then let's happily accept that Sid,Hattie,Babs,Hawtrey and the others were the finest movie comics in British cinema and man the barricades against the intellectualisation of the last bastion of working - class humour.

The carry on movies just aren't know for being subtle and are filled with sexist and sexual orientated jokes. The fact that it's a '60's movie and all of the men are ugly 40-50-60 year old, who are chasing young beautiful women in their 20's or early 30's makes the jokes and movie as a whole even more dirtier. These sort of movies were quite popular in the 60's and 70's and there are quite some British movies such as this one. No way a movie such as this one could had been made in the United States at the same time. As a matter of fact you still can't really make a movie such as this one and get away with it. I sort of like this boldness and totally political incorrectness. It's so wrong that it actually becomes funny."Carry on Camping" is of course a movie with loads of hits and misses. It also is often so bad and cheaply made that the movie becomes funny because of its amateurism and simplicity. A real campy comedy!It has an incredible disjointed story-line, that features loads of characters, who don't really share any connectivity, aside from the fact that they are on the same camping. It sort of disappointing when looking at the story-lines they came up with. I am convinced even I myself could had come up with better and more funny ones and so could you have! I mean, the movie focuses on the dreadful thing called camping. This concept screams for more and better thought off jokes, no matter how stereotypical they all would had been.It's quite disgusting to see these ugly over 50 year old (Sid James was 56 but looked 66 and Charles Hawtrey was 55 chasing these well formed young girls that are in the prime of their life. And the girls are all more than happy to let all these guys get in their tents and take their clothes off at every possible occasion. It's so wrong to watch! But maybe also very funny because of that.So, this really isn't a great or greatly made movie. Nevertheless I still always enjoy watching these sort of 'carry on' type of movies because of its very amateurism and silliness-factor. Long life political incorrect movies!4/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

One of the most popular films in series, it is broad and amusing, and accompanied by quite a good score this time, yet it is only intermittently very funny. The sexual humour is at times rather amusing, and Kenneth Williams sparkles in his role, but arguably it is sillier than the par of Carry On films, with the last ten minutes or so of the film being really utter nonsense. In addition, having too many main characters means that they do not get a chance to be developed very well. But overall, it is quite an enjoyable experience nonetheless, with a number of very entertaining, even if not hilarious, scenes.
