Review of Up Pompeii

Up Pompeii (1971)
6/10
Silly, but likable
6 July 2009
After watching this film, I've come to the realisation that Gregor Fisher must have taken a lot from Frankie Howard for the character of Rab C. Nesbitt. The constant looks to the camera as he chums us along are great, and will keep you company through this typically sexy 70's British comedy.

The acting is good, the babes are just beautifully British (how I wish they still made 'em like that!) and the sexual innuendo will give you a good old giggle.

It's pretty meh at times but the silliness of it all makes up for it. Makes you wish you were there!

Overall, a good bit of fun to watch if you have an open mind and I imagine it would be better with a friend in tow. 6/10
