Confessions from a Holiday Camp (1977) YTS

The last film in the Confessions series, after

The last film in the Confessions series, after just 4 films, the plug was unceremoniously pulled, even though the films were very popular financially, even if the critics couldn't stand them. In this one, the makers switched the suburbian settings that had frequented the first 3 films with something completely different, it has varying results, and the same old sexual shenanigans as before. Timmy Lea (Robin Askwith) and his brother in law Sidney Noggett (Anthony Booth) now have jobs as entertainment officers at Funfrall, a typical British holiday camp, where it's raining all the time, and the staff including homosexual compere Lionel (Lance Percival) and Northern emcee Roughage (Colin Crompton) are hanging around all the time with nothing to do. However, all that changes when a new boss comes to the camp in the form of ex-prison officer Mr. Whitemonk (John Junkin), who wants to turn the camp's fortunes around, and get the holidaymakers in, even though Timmy and Sidney come up with the idea of holding a beauty contest, which they hope will prevent them from getting the sack, but Timmy ends up in more sexual situations yet again from lusty young women. The joke has worn thin by now, probabily just as well. More films were planned, but Columbia Pictures had a change of guard and they scaled back their UK operations, and so the Confessions films went. Shame, they were fun while they lasted, it's a shame this wasn't as good as the first 3 before.

Was supposed to be a raunchier version of Carry On, an entertaining movie anyhow, even if it is a little camp

Butlin's but with added boobs!

(Butlin's is well know chain of British holiday camps, in case dear reader you are unaware). Randy Timmy Lea and his unfaithful brother-in-law Sid gain employment at a British holiday camp. They organise a beauty contest for "the talent", the young women take it in turns to seduce young Tim in return for improving their chances of winning the competition. This is the fourth and last entry in the "Confessions" series. I have gone about watching them wrong, I enjoyed the first film (Window Cleaner) but then skipped the next two. Got to be honest judging by Holiday Camp I can see why they made no more. It starts off with the song "Give Me England" by The Wurzels, being a fan of them I was impressed. The always likeable Robin Askwith is back as Tim, Anthony Booth is back as Sidney. The lovely British actress Linda Hayden is also back (she was in Cleaner), and as always she is never shy to shed her clothes! The story is set in March and Tim says how cold it is yet holiday makers are sunbathing by the pool and rubbing suntan cream into their bodies so that it a of a contradiction. The comedy comes in two forms. Firstly there is the slapstick, I did laugh out loud a few times but it can also be plain silly. Then there is the sexist, homophobic and racist humour which today would be considered politically incorrect. There is plenty of brief female frontal nudity but the sex scenes are lame. One of my old movie review books described this film as "ghastly". I am sure many people will agree with that, as for me I enjoyed it to an extent but were it not for the nudity and The Wurzels I would have scored it lower than 5/10. I am now interested to see how the middle two movies compare, hopefully they will be better than this one.
