Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The acting in this movie is really good.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

By 1978, the tried and trusted Carry On formula of saucy seaside innuendo and silly slapstick no longer seemed relevant, especially in a world where nudity and sex in the cinema had become commonplace; in an effort to get bums on seats, the series' makers looked towards the world of soft-core porn for inspiration, riding the wave created by the success of Just Jaeckin's Emmanuelle (1974).Sadly, Carry On Emmannuelle (double consonants throughout, presumably to avoid legal issues) proves to be one of the worst of the whole Carry On series, a laugh free exercise that replaces suggestive humour with blatant and not-at-all-funny sex gags, and knockabout silliness with an excess of bare flesh (and not just from its sexy star Suzanne Danielle as the film's titular French nymphomaniac: in what must have been a career low, Kenneth Williams strips for the camera as well).Sid James escaped the embarrassment of appearing in this mess by dying two years earlier; Carry On regulars Williams, Kenneth Connor, Peter Butterworth and Joan Sims weren't quite as lucky, their resumé forever blighted by this tawdry flop. Ever the professionals, they soldier on, rattling out the dire one-liners with as much enthusiasm as they can muster, but unsurprisingly fail to produce the laughs, the material being even more tired and worn out than the cast delivering it.

Like another reviewer said, the song "Love Crazy" at the beginning is a great song and the best thing about this filthy film. Most of the other Carry on films are naughty fun, but not filthy. This film starts out with Emmanuelle going down on a guy in the bathroom and then we see Kenneth Williams bare butt in his room. Ugh! Another minus for me is the fake french accents they both use. Man, they are awful. Joan Sims and Kenneth Connor & Peter Butterworth play the help at Kenneth Williams home. Jack Douglas plays the butler. Kenneth is an ambassador and Emmanuelle is his mistress/wife. We see more of Kenneth's butt again, ewww! She basically goes around flaunting her body and sleeping with everyone. She then asks the hired help to describe their wildest affairs. This is more waste of film. I read Barbara Windsor walked out on this film because it was too risqué. She was right. It's also not that funny. Emmanuelle continues to sleep with every guy she sees, exposing her butt a couple of times. Her body is OK, but the french accent is annoying. She is upset her husband does not care about her exploits, so she bangs the whole soccer team, one at a time. An ex-lover decides to write an article about her affairs and she admits it's all true. She and Kenneth do it at the end and she gets pregnant and has a bunch if kids. That's it. I give it a 3 and that's partially for the great theme song. This is the worst of the Carry On films. Yes it's worse than Carry on Columbus because at least that film had Jim Dale and the sexy Sara Crowe.

i completely disagree with the comment below. this film shows the best of British romantic comedy and humour,and i enjoyed every minute of its charm. the characters are well played,and the script is full of humour. Kenneth Williams is the highlight; his french accent could be mistaken for the real thing,and even though he is "married" he is still himself - completely,utterly and fantastically gay. i know other film do they do a tour around London,sleep with the prime minister and the whole English football team. all the latest romantic comedies have bloomed from this film,and anyone who watched it would agree. best of British film making.

By the time that Carry On Emmannuelle rolled around, the boom in smutty sex comedies in the UK reached it's zenith and the comparatively innocent double-entendres of the Carry On movies were looking increasingly dated with audiences preferring to seek out something with strong nudity and some crude laughs, rather than watch another Carry On movie in the hope that there might be a fleeting glimpse of a pair of breasts.With the Confession movies pulling in the punters, and with David Sullivan muscling into the scene with movies like Come Play With Me & Playbirds, Gerald Thomas & Peter Rogers ventured into previously unexplored territory and plunged into spoofing adult movies.The result was ghastly.Featuring only a handful of the regular cast, most of them had flown the coup by this time. Kenneth Williams only appeared in the movie as a favour to Gerald Thomas, Kenneth Conner (the unsung hero of the Carry On series in our opinion) tries to have fun with the appalling material, but just ends up making himself look foolish - a great pity. Of the others, only Joan Sims, Peter Butterworth & belated regular Jack Douglas are on hand to help tie this car-crash of a movie to the Carry On series.One joke that will have a modern audience spitting their drinks across the room involves Dino "Mind Your Language" Shafeek as an immigration officer at an airport.The saddest slight of all in this non-starter of a movie has Kenneth Conner as Leyland, the Ambassador's chauffeur, showing Suzanne Danielle around London, in a bid to get her sexually excited - driving past Nelson's Column, he starts gurning and emoting "corr", or terms along those lines. Dear oh dear...Ultimately, Carry On Emmannuelle was too tame for the Dirty Mac Brigade and too strong for those who loved the more innocent Carry On movies. No wonder this was the last regular entry in the series.
