DanTheMan 2 Mining the bawdy historical atmosphere and its titular namesake for all its worth, Carry On Dick has a sheen of poignancy around it, despite a relatively slow start, the film quickly throws in some choice innuendo plundering its title for all its worth, to the point where you think they couldn't make another dick joke even with a gun to the head. Being the last film of the series that Talbot Rothwell script, The Less is More maxim has well and truly been thrown from the carriage with only coarse vulgarity to replace it; yet, it shows that even in an attempt to move with the times, the series could still provide a laugh even when its trademarks have started to look worn and dated with its wealth of delicious innuendos that enabled the writer to bid farewell to the series in a perfect Carry On-esque fashion. The production values are exceptional and the performances from the team are, as ever, beyond any form of criticism, with the film giving everyone a chance to shine no matter how minor their roles may be. The actors give their best and that's all we can ever ask of them. Carry On Dick feels like a swansong and, sadly, was just that for Sid James who has lots of opportunities to give off his trademark throaty cackle and whose warmth really is the best thing here, a star till the end, it may have been his last bow but he leaves us hungry for more and proves beyond any doubt that he was the Laurence Olivier of bawdy comedy.

The title is a good starting point over what I mean. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member More innuendo and bad double entendres. Enough said. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Dialogue-driven film that, although not as good as others in the franchise, manages to work on some level. It is unfortunately almost entirely without slapstick, and those who like that particular element of the series are bound to be disappointed.
