...among the last of the Carry On films is one of the best. Basically a comedic send up of the Sylvia Kristell Emmanuelle films. Williams is hilarious as the French ambasador as is Suzanne Danielle who plays his wife she will sleep with anything that moves. Classic performances from Joan Sims, Peter Butterworth and Kenneth Connor as the randy Chauffer Leyland. Jack Douglas absolutely brilliant as the butler Lions who Suzanne Daniels affectionately ...

...true "Carry On"s such as Carry on Camping, Carry on Henry and Carry on Teacher. It struck me as budgeted, cheap writing and patched; and this was before I opened the magazine to tell me all this. It seemed to be a film to fill in a space whilst another great Carry On was in the writing stages, and needed the Carry On company publicising while it was being written.

The theme tune throughout the series tended to be the same but is played to suite the specific era in which the show is set… ... Read review

Advantages: Mos Def was great, quirky plot
Disadvantages: Plot so quirky it doesn't really have a point

...feeling a bit puzzled to be honest. In case anyone was wondering about the title - it apparently refers to a plea by video store owners to customers to rewind VHS tapes to the beginning before returning. Jack Black is perfectly fine as Jerry. Jerry is wildly eccentric, and looks it, which seems to be the case with many of the roles Black takes on, so he is isn't exactly stretched. However, he works well within the confines of the film, and even made ...
...really felt there needed to be one here. It could be that the director, Michel Gondry, is trying to make a point about the film industry - that it has become so Hollywood-ized that people have forgotten expensive special effects aren't always necessary. It could also be a commentary about our high tech society, and how videos have been replaced by DVDs, and DVDs are now being replaced by more high-tech mediums. Or maybe it is about the community ...
