KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

didi-5 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!

Cornonthecobb Marty Feldman did, contrary to popular belief, have a career before Hollywood. In his home country, he was the "it" boy for a while, with plenty of sketch shows, earning several awards, etc etc. Nevermind the fact that he had been a leading comedy writer for years before even stepping in front of the cameras. And all this would happen PRIOR to the famous "Young Frankenstein"."Every Home Should Have One" (or "Think Dirty" for us in the states) provides Feldman with his first leading role in a feature film (his first actual role being a bit part in Richard Lester's 'The Bed Sitting Room'). The comic would also co-write the script. The film, it seems, was a bit of a venture to capitalize on the funny man's success. While it wouldn't really be much of a success itself, I personally feel this movie is one of Feldman's funniest and best.It pokes fun at all sorts of conventions of society and namely, the advertising industry and its battle with conservative religious types. It has the wild, zany style of great British comedy during that time period. Fans of Beatle humor will also enjoy. And a party scene towards the film's end will put even "Animal House" to shame (I mean what could be better than drunk Marty, dwarfs, a big dog, a burning sword eater, and a million other absurdities all in one living room?).Feldman and Judy Cornwell have a real and comedic chemistry as a husband and wife duo in the movie and the latter more than does her share in keeping things hilarious. Also funny is the young son, Richard, who really causes the whole film's conflict. And who, at 11 years old, DOES know what sex is, but does NOT know what the word 'involved' means. Yet, funnily enough, that is realistic."Every Home Should Have One" is a hilarious and fun movie and a good commentary on the "up-tight" vs the "overly free" and such. A good commentary, also, on the hypocrisy of the so called "clean" people of society.If one wants a witty, funny, and enjoyable film that is a delightfully crazy time, then this should certainly be viewed!

ptb-8 Very popular in its day as a faux Carry On movie with a better script and strong idea, this farce using Marty Feldman was a huge success in 1970 - 71. His TV show was constantly on air and this opportunity to make a rude color send up of silly advertising ideas went over very well. Rather like the zany energy and ideas seen in a Richard Lester / Beatles film and a pre curser to Benny Hill nonsense, this one had the sense to have a genuinely original comedy star who possibly never bettered himself in another British film. Feldman did star in the Mel Brooks classic Young Frankenstein as well as a couple of half funny pix: The Adverture Of Sherlock Holmes Smarter Brother and The Last Remake Of Beau Geste, probably the better of the two non American films. Julie Ege (fresh from a prehistoric fur bikini epic) was hilarious as his comic foil whether she meant to be or not... which basically is excellent casting. There is a lot of very funny advertising gags and the ads and ideas presented work. In the 50s Tony Randall and Jayne Mansfield starred in a hilarious Frank Tashlin comedy also about the ridiculous ideas seen in advertising; it was called Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter which, believe it or not is more vulgar that this Brit film made 15 years later. Both highly recommended.... especially if you are studying media.

cellorey Marty Feldman was an extremely funny and under appreciated comedian and this film is one of his funniest. You probably will remember Feldman from his Mel Brooks days in YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN and SILENT MOVIE. However, he also had two other worthwhile films to check out: THE LAST REMAKE OF BEAU GESTE (1977) and IN GOD WE TRU$T (1980). In Think Dirty, Feldman wrote the screenplay and stars to wonderful comic effect. Most of the funniest moments are sex-related and there is a brief nude scene with Julie Ege, but overall the film portrayed in a seemingly innocent tone. The basic idea of using a controversial topic (in this case sex) to sell a product is not an advertising novelty, but Feldman pulls it off with a good deal of funny moments, especially the day-dreaming sequences and the animated bits (by Richard Williams Studios of PINK PANTHER fame). I happen to disagree with Leonard Maltin's review of this film (and this is not uncommon). I would recommend this to any Monty Python fan or anyone who enjoys the Farrelly Brothers and Mel Brooks comedies today.
