5.0 out of 5 stars Funny , 16 Aug 2008

By	K. A. Kenning "buzzy" (uk) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Car Trouble [1985] [DVD] (DVD)

Although an old film, it'a an absoloute must. Laughed all the way through a genuine Julie Walters masterpiece. If you're a fan of hers buy it you won't regret it. Bit saucy so not for the faint hearted but not in a vulgar way. It just shows that Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amiable Brit sex comedy, 21 Feb 2005

By	Cartimand (Hampshire, UK.) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Car Trouble [DVD] [1985] (DVD)

A very English comedy that pokes gentle fun at sexual tensions in middle-class suburbia. Julie Walters and Ian Charleson are excellent as the married couple seeking extra-marital thrills - her with a "bit of rough" and him with the car of his dreams.

Whilst faintly reminiscent of "Carry On" or "Confessions Of" movies, the clever script and subtleties of dialogue deliver measured, gently-observed humour, rather than belly-laughs and raises Car Trouble some way above the rest of the genre.

Great cameo from punk chanteuse Hazel O'Connor as the frumpy, menacing wife of Julie Walters' would-be lover. Veteran actor Stratford Johns is impressive too as the unscrupulous car dealer.

Hilariously rude central sequence and quite a poignant denouement, as Walters and Charleson resign themselves to the fact that they deserve each other.

It's a shame that this style of movie seems to have gone out of fashion. A minor classic.

Oh and the car's nice too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant.
This is a film that requires close proximity to the toilet when watching it. It is absolutely hilarious. I advise any one thinking of getting it to go ahead and do so. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars A black spot on Julie's career
This is one of the worst comedies I have endured for some time. With some judicious editing this could make a mediocre episode of Tales of the Unexpected. Read more
