**Stay away, you have been warned!** This movie was so absurd that I felt compelled to write this review to warn others. From start to finish, it’s a series of implausible and downright ridiculous events. The portrayal of airport security in particular is laughably unrealistic. I hardly know where to begin, but here are just a few examples: there’s a gunfire incident in the airport bathroom that somehow goes unnoticed, a TSA officer is stabbed in a public area with no reaction from anyone, and a random guy drives his van around the airport like it’s his personal property. These are just a few of the endless, nonsensical scenes that will leave you shaking your head in disbelief. To make matters worse, the protagonist makes one frustratingly foolish decision after another, leaving you more annoyed than invested. It’s almost as if the movie is determined to test your patience at every turn. This is, without a doubt, the dumbest movie of the year. It doesn’t deserve more than 1 star, and I’m baffled that it has a rating above 6—it’s a joke. Save yourself the frustration and skip this one.

Worst film in the franchise. I mean, where are Sid James’ laugh, Kenneth Williams’ innuendos, and Hattie Jacques’ stern glare?

<em>'Carry-On'</em> is a movie that gave me the required entertainment, I found it all to be extremely watchable. There are one or two moments within the first hour that had me questioning how they were going to stretch interest for events onscreen for just short of two hours, but pleasantly they most certainly do. Taron Egerton and Jason Bateman give excellent performances, I think even without just one or the other the film wouldn't work as nicely - they are the keys to its success, for me. That's not to say it's a production that only relies on its acting talent, because this felt well written; they make the predicament/actions of the characters justified. I have no doubt that the film uses plenty of artistic licence, as per with movies, but that's something I have zero issue with - as long as it makes the plot more enjoyable, which most definitely is the case here in my opinion. Going back to the cast, nice to see Dean Norris involved; Danielle Deadwyler and Theo Rossi are positives as well. Best way to sum this up: <em>'Die Hard'</em> meets <em>'Toy Story 2'</em>. I mean, come on, who doesn't wanna see that?!
