For those of you like the later Carry On films, Benny Hill, Up Pompeii and the likes, then this is for you. I say later Carry On films, as the earlier ones were actually funny, and then the smutty humour was introduced.
I was hoping for Stiff Upper Lips to be funny, and to enjoy it (anything with Prunella Scales in is usually great), Peter Ustinov, Frank Finlay, Brian Glover, how can they go wrong?
There is one laugh out loud scene, and one funny, if crude (drinking from the fountain in Italy, and I see people have posted some ''funny' lines on this site. For me, it just tries to hard with every line an attempt at comedy. It's really very much oooo missus and naughty seaside postcard humour; school-boy humour, rather than witty and clever. Victoria Wood gave us much funnier and hilarious parodies or send-ups of the costume drama.
Seeing the credits roll, I was surprised they actually filmed in Italy and India as the towns looked like sets.
