ridiculous rating
... View MoreBlending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
... View MoreAt first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
... View MoreExcellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
... View MoreThis is what I call a perfect film! I am 16 and was persuaded by my mum to watch this film and other Carry On films and I loved!It is myfavourite Carry On film! Its actors occur again and again in the films and they are what makes this film fantastic. Kenneth Williams, Hattie Jacques, Sid James, Barbera Windsor and Joan Sims are great actors. Also even though they occur all the time in carry ons, they never bore me...Fantastic!!!!! I would totally recommend Carry On Camping to any age group as it is an absolute classic and a must see. Plus don't be put off with the fact that it is old and simple, this is what makes it so good! AnIconic Carry On...10/10!!!
... View MoreSid James and Bernard Bresselaw take Joan Sims and Dilys Laye out to a movie. They show them a nudist film about camping. Sid decides they should all take a trip to a camp. Kenneth Williams and Hattie Jacques play the teachers at an all girl school. They decide to take the girls camping. Terry Scott and his wife also go camping. Charles Hawtrey heads up there by himself. When Sid and crew arrive, he finds out it's the wrong place. He wants to leave until the school bus with the girls arrive. Later on some hippies show up. They get rid of them by messing up their equipment. The girls try to leave with them and they are chased down by Kenneth. Dilys Lays looks very fit in a white shirt and striped shorts. A good outing for the Carry on People.
... View MoreThis is the one, out of all 31 carry on films, this is the very best, you have got the whole team, Sid, Kenneth, Joan, Hattie, Charles, Bernard and Peter all causing mischief in this fantastic Carry On Camping. Gerald Thomas and Peter Rogers have done it, they have created one of the best comedy films of the sixties (my opinion).What a good idea of them to come up with a carry on that involves the whole gang out in a field, in tents etc. Bernard Bresslaw is hilarious when he rips through the tent roof. Kenneth Williams's fantastic performance as usual and Terry Scott a hero, continued to work although ill.One of my very favourite Carry Ons and i know many others will like it too!
... View MoreIf you ask people to name a carry on film, many name Carry on Camping, perhaps due to the famous scene of "flinging" Barbara Windsor. However, it deserves to be memorable for other reasons, namely: * Sid James is at his comedic best (particularly when he mistakes Joan Sims' stew for his foot bath) * Amelia Bayntun (Joan Sims' screen mum, Mrs Fussey) is a perfect representation of the overbearing mother in law/overprotective mother. (She reprises this role as Charles Hawtree's mother in Carry on Abroad a few years later).* The winning-formula familiar pairings of Sid James/Joan Sims and Kenneth Williams/Hattie Jacques.* The 60s references work well, and echo the times in places (Terry Scott looking at holiday brochures, at a time when foreign holidays were becoming viable for ordinary people, the hippy ending showing the class of generations).* The quaint references to pre-decimalisation money, notably when Sid James and Peter Butterworth are talking about the camping fees.For my money, Camping was the last great carry on. Convenience and Abroad were good, but Camping saw the regulars at the height of their powers, and it showed. Wonderful little film.
