Console best movie i've ever seen.

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

redsky-4 A delightful romp.This film has several layers; the cruise ship could be described as a cage, a stage, a maze but I believe the most apt metaphor for the situation the characters find themselves in is a carousel. You're going around in circles looking at all the people with smiles and joy and oblivious to the rest of the world; you're all just in it for a good time.And a good time is had.In a way, I think we've all had a time where we could see ourselves as the characters on this ship. It's time in our lives where we're not in control and things work out for the best because of the company we keep and where we are at the time. You can feel the charged atmosphere of people who aren't exactly lost but are in fact looking for something.The thing I think I'll take away from this movie is Liz Frazer's line "Prove you're not shy" is probably the culmination of the doctor's decision making. He's a bumbling character played by the talented Kenneth Connor who gives the everyman a sense of poetry. Perhaps his ultimate decision may sound impulsive or rash but it's not at all unseen. I think we could all do with a Liz Frazer to give us a push in the right direction.Above all though, it's just a fun flick. With a typhoon of comedic abilities from man of the world Sid James and crew, this is a movie I would recommend for anyone in any generation. For anyone who's been on that carousel.

lucy-19 Over-reliant on crude physical falling about type comedy. Liz Fraser does it best when she "collapses in a dead faint" (she's a big lass). The clowning tends to hide the plot. There is one of sorts: the rookie crew are trying to impress, and the doctor (Ken Connor) is in love with Florence (Dilys Laye), who's hunting a husband in all the wrong places. Keep watching, though, as there are some very funny lines. When Laye throws herself at the captain he growls: "Flo! Ebb a bit!" Kenneth Williams is as brilliant as ever. When the captain calls for the barman, Tree, Williams ripostes something like "Where's Tree? I don't know, but there's a potted palm outside the first class dining room." And when the Captain reads him out a long list of tasks, he breaks into song "and a partriiiiidge in a pear tree - oh, sorry sir." Williams had a good voice and so did Connor (he gets Liz Fraser on his side by serenading the sleeping Laye). It's a shame Connor is so, so, so painfully unfunny. Oddly, Williams thought he was hilarious.

Andy Aldridge (grange85) Sid James and Kenneth Williams can't salvage this very weak Carry On offering. Sid plays the captain of Mediterranean cruise ship who has a completely new and thoroughly inept crew thrust upon him just when he needs a perfect cruise to earn the promotion he so thoroughly deserves. Kenneth Williams, Lance Percival and Kenneth Connor are the crew who make Sid's cruise so difficult.The inept crew bumble through some timid Carry On farce with an over reliance on falling over and a weak script to pull it all together. It doesn't have the warmth that the best films in the series have and just drifts through to its inevitable cheesy ending without any real laughs.

richard.fuller1 Just as I am getting used to who these people are, three of them aren't in this movie.Hattie Jacques, Joan Sims and Charlie Hawtrey aren't in "Cruising."I thought at first the bartender was Hawtrey. I wonder if they wanted him for the part.Yes, the cook was the funniest person here.After six movies, there still seems to be some uncertainty as to what Kenneth Williams is capable of.Still a bit confused as to what the appeal of Kenneth Conner could have been, and Sid James seems a bit lost to me as well, after him in three of these movies. The movie didn't play up the exotic holiday feel as Love Boat would later do on television. I get the impression they could have done that very well. As the first Carry On in color, this one could have been better. A bit disappointed to not hear the familiar theme. Thought at first it was a bit of a nautical version, but it was an entirely different tune.Well, on to the next Carry On: Carry On Cabby.
