Entertaining raunchy British comedy makes little sense

Reviewed by Leofwine_draca 3 / 10

Drag act comedy and endless nudity

It says something about AUNTIE that it makes the similarly-themed KEEP IT UP DOWNSTAIRS, also starring Sue Longhurst, look positively good by comparison. This one's the product of sexploitation stalwart Derek Ford, and it's a silly farce about an entertainer who inherits an old mansion that just so happens to double as a brothel.There's little more story to it than that. Pretty much all of the film's humour involves the main character dressing up as various characters, typically as the titular character, so if the sight of a bad actor in drag amuses you then this might be the film for you. Me, I didn't care for the tired antics of Mark Jones and I started to find him tiresome about five minutes in, making the rest of the film a slog.This being a sexploitation comedy, AUNTIE features endless wall-to-wall nudity from the female cast members (and occasionally the male). Longhurst herself dominates the proceedings, looking very lovely (although not quite as lovely as she did in period costume in KEEP IT UP DOWNSTAIRS). The likes of Linda Regan, Jennifer Westbrook, and Veronica Peters supply girlish charm and humour and plenty of flesh. As it standard for the genre, there are a few brief cameos for some old timers including Queenie Watts, Frank Thornton, and Paul Whitsun-Jones, but as a comedy this film's pretty tawdry if not downright diabolical.
