Car Trouble (1986)
1/10
An embarrassment to all concerned.

Warning: Spoilers
A truly appalling film, not even bad enough to be funny. I bought this in a mini-market in Spain for something to watch, hoping to pick up a bit of Spanish by reading the sub-titles, and expecting the usual Julie Walters quality. Poor Ian Charleston is miscast in a "comedy" as her stereotype pompous middle-class husband.

The plot wouldn't survive a half hour Terry and June episode or a ten minute segment of a Carry On. Frustrated housewife "borrows" husband's new pride and joy sports car and whilst having sex with the salesman knocks off the handbrake and they crash into a tree and remain "stuck together" as onlookers gather to watch their plight.

I'm baffled as to how it ever got made and what two respected actors were doing in it. A number of websites completely miss it out in their reviews and lists of Julie Walters' films. I am sure she would love this cliché ridden drivel to disappear permanently.

A terrible waste of time, money and an E type Jag.
