7/10
Pretty decent
4 October 2010
This is far from the best Carry on film, Screaming, Cleo and Up the Khyber are much better offerings, but it is a million times better than Carry on England and Emmanuelle. I do agree that Carry on At Your Convenience is not perfect, the plot doesn't always flow as well as it should due to some padding, the pacing could have been much more secure and I wish Hattie Jaques had more to do. Conversely, it looks pretty good, as the photography is decent and the costumes and sets are at least nice to look at. Also the score is quirky enough, and while occasionally smutty a vast majority of the dialogue is funny. In general, the acting isn't too bad either; Sid James and Kenneth Williams especially are a lot of fun, and Joan Sims makes the most of an intentionally bitchy sort of character. So overall, decent if slightly disappointing entry. 7/10 Bethany Cox
