Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

artpf 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.

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!

ShadeGrenade Marty Feldman made his movie debut in Richard Lester's surreal, post apocalyptic comedy 'The Bed Sitting Room' ( 1969 ). With two seasons of the B.B.C.'s 'Its Marty' behind him, the time was right for him to flex his cinematic muscles. Based on a story by Milton Shulman and Herbert Kretzmer, 'Every Home Should Have One' was Marty's only British film, casting him as 'Teddy Brown', an advertising executive hired to provide a new campaign to promote 'McLaughlin's Frozen Porridge'. His first attempt features an animated, singing Scotsman and is soundly rejected. In desperation, he decides to 'think dirty' and use sex to sell the cereal. A competition to find the perfect 'Goldilocks' is held...The mid-to-late '60's saw a sea change in British film comedy, as it moved away from family entertainment and became more risqué. Television provided inspiration, with many films being either based on or inspired by popular shows. Produced by Ned Sherrin and Terry Glinwood, 'Every Home Should Have One' was made in 1970 but is still very much a '60's period piece. The script by Barry Took, Denis Norden and Feldman himself lampoons not only the glossy but shallow world of advertising, but also moralising politicians, clean-up television campaigners, and the permissive society itself. Richard Williams Studios provides some superb animations; particularly funny are Teddy's outlandish, 'Billy Liar'-style dream sequences, including a fight between him and the 'Reverend Geoffrey Mellish' ( Dinsdale Landen ) whom Teddy thinks is trying to destroy his marriage to 'Liz' ( Judy Cornwell ). At one point, we even see the men as 'Superman' and 'Batman'! One gag was recycled from the series - dressed as a bishop, Marty is asked by a doorman if he is a bishop. "Who do you think I am then with this?", he says, holding up his staff, "Bloody Bo-Peep?".Feldman proved here he had the talent to carry a film, and received strong support from a first-rate cast. Penelope Keith has a small role as 'Lotte', a Teutronic au pair. Alan Bennett puts in an uncredited cameo near the end as a befuddled barrister. And who can forget the luscious Julie Ege as Swedish 'Inga'?Funniest moment - Teddy and Liz having a row while driving around London in a toothpaste tube-shaped car, unaware the speakers are on and that the public can hear every word!Shulman and Kretzmer penned a novelisation to tie-in with the U.K. release. It did not receive an American premiere until 1978, when it was retitled 'Think Dirty!' A B.B.C.-4 documentary on Feldman in the Noughties implied that it was 'barely remembered'. Well, I'm, pleased to say that I remember it. At the time of writing, it still has not had a D.V.D. release.

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.
