"If you decide to look for romance, don't expect to find any joy at the Wedded Bliss Agency.
If you're looking for laughs, on the other hand, this should be your first port of call.
Sid and Sophie Bliss are the proprietors and they are living a romantic lie, they're not even married!
Their computer system is a "miracle of modern technology" and certainly comes up with some hysterical pairings.
Carry On Loving is just one thing on top of another and it has one of the best slapstick finales in the series!" |

The Story
The Wedded Bliss agency, run by Sidney and Sophie Bliss, is a picture of domestic happiness...until the customers walk out the door! Their high tech computer dating system ensures that the residents of Much-Snogging-in-the Green each meet their perfect date...or at least it would if the machine actually worked...

Comments
Another fine addition to the series, the only thing that grates is the two lovers who appear with grating monotony every couple of scenes. Generally, though, this is good for a laugh or two. Many have criticised the film for its food fight ending, but let's face it; it's a comedy tradition and it's only natural that a Carry On should do it sooner or later. The sex element is played up throughout the film (a factor that was reflected in the high box office takings for this film), but at the end of the day it's standard fare. My only real complaint is that both Bresslaw and Butterworth are unforgivably underused.
