I love this movie so much

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Very 70's and very English. The Brits love their vicars. And the 70s loved the exploration of sex. Catchy theme song.There's lots of Monty Python-esque tomfoolery as well. It's a weird films. Especially the sound. It has a dubbed quality to it, almost like it was made in Japan and dubbed in English. Only it's not. Makes for weird viewing.Not a lot of nudity despite the cover art and film concept.The bottom line is this -- I really wanted to like this film. I'm a fan of English humor and Marty Feldman. But in the end, it's not really a good film. It will not deliver any belly laughs.

Not known as much now as it was when it was released, this feature written by Marty Feldman from Herbert Kretzmer (yes, the one who wrote lyrics for the hit musical Les Miserables) has its very thin premise a breakfast cereal that will seriously spice up your sex life; porridge, in fact.Cue some cringe-inducing commercials for said product and a number of fantasies in which Marty Feldman's character places himself - from being in romantic clinches with eligible ladies to a superhero fight with the local vicar, a pious type who ogles the ladies just as much as everyone else. And the real fight between the ad man and the vicar towards the end is a lot of laugh-out-loud fun.Marty Feldman does dominate this film, such was his personality and rather weird looks. However, there is sterling support from Judy Cornwell (Marty's girlfriend), Dinsdale Landen (the vicar), Frances de La Tour (a secretary), and Penelope Keith (a Swedish lesbian), amongst others.Director Jim Clark went on to the equally dubious but not quite as funny 'Rentadick' before returning to acting; in 'Every Home Should Have One' he shows some flair in setting up the quirky and unusual, while sending up a range of genres. Of its type, this film is a real find, and a guilty pleasure - if you like this kind of thing!

This film, to me, is an incisive comment on the way that big business and politicians manipulate the ideals and desires of the population. I feel it makes a valuable point without distancing itself from the comedic element inherent in its approach, and by using 'flashback' and fantasy techniques raises itself above other films that have treated the same subject matter in a more down-to-earth fashion.Some measure of its true worth must lie in the number of more recent films that pay homage to it by parodying certain scenes or aspects of it.In my view, it is one of the 100 best comedy films of all time, and I feel the time is ripe, some 35 years after its original release, for it to become available on DVD.

British sex-comedy that has some very nicely animated sequences in it and is funnier than the average comedy made in the UK of this genre. The 7 dwarfs and the "toothpastetube-car" are really a must-see! I think the scene with the amazing car is the best!
