Bless this house is a lovely film to watch and can even make the most cold hearted person laugh.

If you loved the TV series (come on, admit it!) then there's no reason not to enjoy this good-time family film. British comedy fans are treated here to the legendary Sid James as well as Patsy Rowlands & Peter Butterworth (the neighbours), Robin "Confessions" Asquith, and Carry On veterans June Whitfield and Terry Scott. The films simple charm and mining of everyday life events for laughs is a blessing in an age of increasing violent banality. These include the making of home-made beer and wallpaper that refuses to stay up. A must-see for all vintage British comedy fans.

A TYPICAL 70'S ENGLISH COMEDY FILM, TAKEN FROM THE TV SERIES BLESS THIS HOUSE. THEY DON'T MAKE THEM LIKE THIS ANYMORE.

As with most spin off movies of British sitcoms, they seem nothing more than over long and extended sketches of a standard episode. By no means is this a bad film as it does hold some laughs and likeable performances from its impressive cast list such as Sid James, Terry Scott, June Whitfield and Patsy Rolands, but it has no real plot as such and the whole thing careers along with no real direction. At best the film can be described as adequate although die hard fans of the series will lap it up. The whole thing seems terribly dated now though!
