7/10
An average Carry-On

This isn't the best of the carry-ons but its nowhere near the worst.There are only three of the regulars in Carry-On Jack,and they are Kenneth Williams,Charles Hawtrey and Jim Dale and if you can count Peter Gilmore as the fourth as he did appear in a few other Carry-Ons{Henry,Up The Kyhber,Cabby}in brief roles.However Carry-On Jack does have a splendid cast such as Juliet Mills,Bernard Cribbins,Patrick Cargill and some other famous faces from British cinema,who you will easily recognise.The jokes in this one are very few and far between although the idea of the whole story is amusing,a woman stealing an officers clothes so that she can impersonate him and run off to sea.The story is quite good and would be very amusing for kids,as it has the usual slapstick humour and also has battle scenes and pirates.This Carry-On is rarely seen on TV these days and is probably one of the first Carry-Ons to be made in colour.Id highly recommend this one for the under twelves,although its also mildly amusing if your an adult.
