DanTheMan 2 In a somewhat misguided attempt to move with the times, Carry On Girls represents a significant shift from the series' iconic nudge-nudge, wink-wink humour to much more risqué material and on-screen nudity. The cruder gags have taken centre stage, steering the film closer to the British sex film style that was about to render the Carry Ons anachronistically prim. However, most of the familiar routines are still here in their saucy capacity and offer a fair share of amusing situations; the cast does their best to convince us this is fun we're watching, turning an otherwise ill-advised venture into the realms of entertaining absurdity as they so often do. Yet the air of the past it's prime seaside town where any downpour is not too far away saps a fair chunk of amusement from the film, especially as so little of it takes place at the beach. Yes, the format feels a little tired and stale by now and it's far from being the best of the series with many poignant flaws and yet, for what it's worth, Carry On Girls has a lot of genuinely hilarious moments that don't make it a total failure, it's certainly watchable and not quite as dull as its grim seaside location depicts it as. Although, to be fair, it is Brighton... Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/10/25 Full Review Audience Member Funny and original!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review anthony p This entry in the successful but cheaply made British Carry On series of films explores women's liberation and a beauty contest at a sleepy seaside town. The film's feature bawdy 'humour' that at times appears aged and very un-PC in nature and would not be made today. The me to campaign seen at the 2018 Academy Awards ceremony would like the nature of the screenplay! The film tends to focus on older male characters drooling over the female beauty contestants to much in some scenes! In particular the main star, the late Sidney James playing a character called Sid (as he always seemed to do) and Barbara Windsor in the role of Miss. Easy Rider, Hope Springs. Look out for cameo appearances by the likes of Robin Askwith (Timothy Lea in another British comedy series of the era, the Confessions films) as a photographer. Interesting to see what cheap comedy was on offer to British audiences during the 1970s! Perhaps a successful remake (again) of the Carry On series could be launched now covering modern day issues and starring modern day comedians like Peter Kay and Steve Coogan. Just an idea? Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member It has the comic elements that should make for a good Carry On film, but this one, much more than the others, is definitely of its time. The seedy lechery is far too overbearing. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/05/18 Full Review bill t Really quite funny, but drags out especially towards the end. A hotel keeper decides the best way to drum up business for the hotel is to have a beauty contest. All sorts of hijinx ensue. I was actually laughing out loud in some parts. Again, it sort of stumbled to a conclusion, but oh well. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This one missed the mark, possibly because it just rehashed old ideas.
