Surprisingly good! - By: Nutty Nige, 22 Nov 2007 
The rather luke-warm other review nearly put me off this film, but I'm glad I went ahead & bought it. Yes, it's corny & I hadn't realised that a heavy reliance on slapstick, custard pies in the face, & much fallling or being pushed into the pool carried on so late in the comedy world. Still funny in places though, & so refreshingly innocent & non-P.C.
Another bonus with the latter factor is that some very, er, tasty young females get their kit off, & even the lovely Liz Fraser, who must by then have been 44 years old, puts in a tantalising but not nude appearance. Much less laboured & more fun than Confessions of a Driving Instructor, even if that contains a couple of positively smouldering appearances by the delectable Liz referred to earlier.
End of an Era - By: , 01 Dec 2004 
Confessions From A holiday Camp marked the end of an era in British Cinema. Fourth & last in the Confessions series it's by no means the worst in the series (Pop Performer fulfills that function) but the cast are obviously going through the motions & just thinking about their pay cheques.
Robin Askwith brings his usual energy to the production but was by now so typecast that his career in cinema was permanatly stallled. There is a good supporting cast full of forgotton comedy names like Lance Perceval, Doris Hare & Anthony (Father in Law to The Prime Minister) Booth but their performances resort mainly to mugging & mincing in order to raise laughs. The best supporting performance comes from Linda Hayden who returns to the series after her performance in the original film ' Confessions Of A window Cleaner'. She isn't on screen for very long but she gives a funny & sexy performance & it's a shame she wasn't utilised more.
The plot is the usual thin series of scenarios throwing our hero Timmy Lea (Askwith's signature role) together with a variety of ready, willing, able & nubile young ladies. This time he's working alongside his Brother helping out with the entertainments at a Holiday Camp.
It's very seventies & fun in places but British Cinema's brief flirtation with films such as this was coming to an end. These nudity filled comedies started a trend that even infected the Carry On series (England & Emmanuelle) & provided British actresses with a variety of roles that they'd like to remove from their CV (Jill Gasgoigne in 'Confessions of A Pop Performer' & Gabrielle Drake in 'Au Pair Girls' amongst many). However with the last of the Confessions series British Cinema began to come back to its senses. They did however keep the industry ticking over along with such TV adaptations as 'Please Sir' & 'Porridge' & without their success it is possible that we'd have a much poorer British Film Industry today.
