[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 434829, member: 23"] The review was pretty accurate about the flaws that required suspension of disbelief. I thought Tom Cruise provided most of the ham, but overall performances were good. You've nailed it, really. The innuendo and double ententre just weren't as funny once things were more up-front (so to speak). But also the writing went downhill terribly, and there are only so many puns one can recycle. And it also had the [I]Dallas[/I] problem of the ageing cast beginning to drop out, with those left not able to achieve the same magic. Oh, [I]On The Buses[/I] was quite fun. Hammer Studios made many big screen versions of sitcoms around that time, and many of them were pretty good. I enjoyed watching the [I]OTB[/I] films for the first time a couple of years ago. I'd thought I watched[I] She'll Have To Go[/I] for the first time last year, but it turned out it was 2020. Scary how quickly the time has gone. Here's what I said about it after that only watch: A couple of recommendations (as if you don't have enough to watch) from the Carry On team: [LIST] [*][I]Please Turn Over[/I] (probably coincidentally, this basically uses the "local girl writes book about her family and neighbours" plot of [I]Return To Peyton Place[/I]) [*][I]Nurse On Wheels[/I] [*][I]Raising The Wind[/I] [/LIST] Well, I'll conceal my disappointment and stiffen my upper lip as I wait patiently and hopefully for your second entry in the series. Sometimes things just unfold organically despite all plans. I hope you get to tick a few of those boxes in 2026. Oh yes. You're not wrong. [/QUOTE]
