As of my last knowledge update in June 2024, there is no official *Carry On* movie titled *Carry On 2024*. The *Carry On* film series, known for its British slapstick comedy and saucy humor, peaked between the 1950s and 1970s, with the last official entry being *Carry On Columbus* (1992).
However, if *Carry On 2024* is a new reboot or revival, here’s a speculative review based on what such a film might entail:
Hypothetical Review: Carry On 2024
Genre: Comedy / Farce
Director: (If a modern director were attached, perhaps someone like Edgar Wright or Matt Lucas for a contemporary touch.)
Premise:
*Carry On 2024* follows the series' tradition, it would likely parody modern trends—think *Carry On Streaming*, mocking binge culture, influencers, or even a *Carry On Brexit* political farce. Expect double entendres, mistaken identities, and chaotic set pieces.
*Potential Strengths:
Nostalgic Appeal: Longtime fans might enjoy callbacks to classic characters (Sid James’ laugh, Barbara Windsor’s cheeky winks).
Modern Twist: Jokes about dating apps, woke culture, or pandemic humor could land well if done cleverly.
Ensemble Cast: A mix of British comedy legends (if returning) and new talent (e.g., Daisy May Cooper, James Acaster) could bring fresh energy.
Potential Weaknesses:
-Outdated Humor: The original series’ cheeky but often problematic gags (sexist/racist stereotypes) might not translate well today unless carefully updated.
- Tone: Balancing old-school farce with modern sensibilities could be tricky—risk of feeling too dated or too sanitized.
Verdict (Hypothetical):
Carry On 2024 embraces its roots while smartly updating the humor, it could be a fun, guilty pleasure. But without the original cast’s charm, it might struggle to recapture the magic.
Rating (Guess): ⭐⭐½ (2.5/5) – A noble effort, but the *Carry On* spirit may belong to a bygone era.
Would you like a review of a specific *Carry On* classic instead? Or is there another 2024 comedy you’d like reviewed?
