Customer Reviews

Not much giggling in the rigging...
'Carry On Jack' is the 8th film in the series, and sadly one of the weakest. It's not so much the fairly small number of familiar faces that's the problem (Kenneth Williams and Charles Hawtry are the only regular stars, with a cameo from Jim Dale), it's the script, which is crucially lacking in good - or even corny - jokes. The film starts well enough on shore with Bernard Cribbins and Jim Dale at Dirty Dick's Inn, but once the film puts to sea it's a tragically unfunny runaround through standard farce material, and the plot concerning to to-ing and fro-ing of various ships ultimately becomes tiresome. Kenneth Williams does his best to save the day with some last minute silly voices as he gets his leg amputated in the films funniest scene, but it's too little too late.

One only for the completeist who is working their way through the entire series.
