grahamsp This has to be up there with Khyber, Loving and Camping. The gags flow thick and fast and Williams is in top form. Kenneth Cope's mother is superb with her dry direct approach while Sid James makes one of his better performances. Best scenes are Sid James as the fortune teller "Williams is brilliant" and Patsy Rowlands and again Williams are brilliant in there own private scenes.Putting James and Jacques together as man and wife works well with Sid constantly delivering killer lines and Joan Sims is given free range with some excellent put downs. A number of Carry On's tend to have a lot of hiatus where nothing happens but Convenience never fails to deliver.
TheLittleSongbird 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
w22nuschler This is one of the Carry On's that is perfect. Cowboy and Jungle are the only ones that can beat this one. I cannot believe how this only rates a 4.5 on the IMDb rating. Every one in this cast is perfect. Sid James and Kenneth Williams plays the head of a toilet company. Richard Callaghan plays Kenneth son who is the manager of the plant. He is very good here. He is again chasing the perfect Jacki Piper who plays the daughter of Sid. She also works at the plant and serves the food. Joan Sims plays one of the workers. The two lead workers are played by Bernard Bresselaw and Kenneth Cope. Kenneth almost steals the show as a worker who is always trying to get everything for the workers, even when they don't really care about it. It is refreshing to see a movie that exposes the down side of a union. Everything made no days just bashes corporations and does not give the other side of things. I am a worker at a large company and I think I am treated fair and have good benefits. Kenneth forces the workers to go on strike with him and all go home for the day. Sid is married to Hattie, but he like Joan. Kenneth goes home to his mother who is upset that he went on strike. He leaves and follow Jacki and Richard who go on a date. He ends up ripping off the bottom of her dress as she walks off in anger. Jacki has a cute little butt. The workers strike again and all of them go to Brighton for a fun day. This is my favorite part of the film. Jacki Piper looks so sexy wearing a red striped top, a cute red hat and the shortest jean shorts I have ever seen. She hangs out with Vic to make Richard Jealous. They make their way to the pier to have some fun. Sid James also looks very cool in his outfit. Richard finally corners Jacki and asks her to marry him. She accepts and he beats up Vic. The scene where Jacki runs off with Richard is worth rewinding just to see her cute little butt in those short shorts. The next day we see them in the hotel married and we get some glimpses of Jacki taking off her outfit. She looks so hot in her little bra and panties. Back at the plant, Vic's mother and the other women force them to go back to work. Vic meets a girl who is going to start working with him and he decides to stay working. Richard and Jacki return to the plant to stop Kenneth from selling the plant. The final scene has Vic deciding to cope with a problem instead of striking. I really like this film. It has such a nice flow to it and the highlight is the scenes at the pier and the outfit Jacki Piper wears. A definite 10 out of 10.
MARIO GAUCI Considered by many the best ever "Carry On" film, I think I still prefer CARRY ON...UP THE KHYBER (1968) to it, but it's certainly one of the more tolerable entries in the series. Essentially an update of I'M ALL RIGHT, JACK! (1959) in its concern over working conditions in a factory and the frequent strikes ordered by the union's representative (usually over a trifle, or even a technicality in the regulations!), the fact that the manufacture involved is toiletware, the lavatorial humor associated with this team is quite appropriate here - though it never descends to the grossness which seems to be the norm for today's would-be comedies.Most of the regulars of the series can be seen strutting their stuff (though perhaps the most notable contribution is given by newcomer Kenneth Cope as the shop steward) and there's no shortage of lewd remarks but, as I said, it's all done in fun (while these films may have been restricted to adult audiences back in the day, they're quite PG stuff today!). There's still a bit of padding involved - such as Sid James' winnings at the races (following the predictions of his wife's pet bird!), the love triangle involving Cope, Jacki Piper (as James' daughter) and Richard O'Callaghan (as the son of factory boss Kenneth Williams) and especially the lengthy outing in Brighton; all things considered, however, an enjoyable vintage comedy which is ideal viewing for the festive season.
