This below par comedy rarely surfaces above average.
Poor casting of the lead players along with diffident direction produces a movie that is best described as a letdown.
Without the talents of the irrepressible James Robertson Justice propping up the whole shebang it would be something to miss - however his presence does stand out and makes it worthwhile to have a look on a rainy afternoon.
Most of the support cast, notably Joan Sims, manage well enough with the tripe being fed to them. Personally, I expect more from an English comedy than has been presented here.
