it a shame that the previous comment seem to have focus on so much negative and miss the positive of what be always intend to be a very lighthearted comedy in the style of the carry on film . set and budget and production be certainly low priority but the script be classic british humour from the 70 and to me be easily as funny a the best carry on . and some part still make me laugh out loud despite have view the film many time to cheer myself up on a rainy day . the best of which have to be the wonderful ray kinnear encounter with the stripper or love interest in the bush outside the house . a for the elf referential marxist themecomment ( . ) i can only say lighten up . this be a silly piece of comedy and not a chekov play . in a world where cgi be begin to replace any semblance of a script and it refreshing to see something so simple and intend purely for entertainment .
