Clyde Gilmour Maclean's Magazine 10/15/2019
Another of the strained British comedies which centre around Norman Wisdom, a sort of English equivalent of Jerry Lewis... Go to Full Review
MFB Critics Monthly Film Bulletin 01/31/2018
The potential that Norman Wisdom once undoubtedly possessed is quite obscured by this film -- with its silly, tawdry script and the inept direction of Robert Asher. Go to Full Review

06/29/2011 Enjoyable Norman Wisdom farce in only the way he knows how. See more 06/16/2011 Usual Wisdom stuff this, all be it a little more self indulgent than usual. The party scene is funny though, but there are better Wisdom films. See more 02/03/2011 The general idea is quite similar to that which was used in Singin' In The Rain, but Follow A Star is not quite that good a movie. To be honest I found the film predictable and far too long. The music is passable and the acting is a little ropey, the best thing as always is Norman Wisdom who steals the show, the scene when he sings in the bath is brilliant, and there are a few other scenes which are funny. But overall the film is disappointing, something your nan might love, but other than that there is not a lot to get excited about. See more 02/28/2010 Great movie with a nice touching story which is very funny. this movie really shows off Wisdom's ability to act, love it! The hypnotist scene is absolutely classic, I reccomend seeing this if its a lazy Sunday afternoon and you want a laugh! Some great music in it two showing Wisdom as a talented individual who is often forgotten! See more 08/18/2008 "Brilliant" Norman plays two character's in this movie and they both are so good,it is so good to just sit back and laugh for the world!!What I like mainly is there is no swearing,no blasphemy,no gore ,just true british tongue in cheek humour!! See more 02/07/2008 why as this got the square peg cover on it See more Read all reviews
