Not a hit in my eyes but not really a flop either

Randy young window cleaner Timothy Lea and his equally sex obsessed brother-in-law Sidney try their luck in the music business, promoting a pub rock band called Kipper. An ugly bunch with a bad name their drummer suffers an unfortunate (and silly) accident and Tim has to step in. The opening scene has window cleaner Tim in bed with one of his customers when her husband unexpectedly comes home, much comical slapstick ensues. She is also the first of many naked women that appear throughout, though the nudity is always briefly glimpsed. Tim does sometimes strip off completely but more often than not he keeps his underwear on whilst the women are completely starkers, so typical of the period. This is a sex comedy, expect plenty of Carry On style slapstick and double entendres galore. Sometimes it is very funny but towards the end I'd kind of had enough. One scene has an older lady looking for her daughter, "Have you seen my Fanny?" she asks the boys, their response did make me laugh. My Blu-ray does look very nice and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing mid 1970's London. However, the film was nowhere near as enjoyable as the original, Confessions of a Window Cleaner and I'd be in no rush to watch it again. Popular radio DJ and TV presenter David Hamilton appears as himself in a cameo, not that it adds any credibility.

Rock And Roll Shagging

Robin Askwith was one of the most popular actors of the British sex comedy arc of the 70's and 80's, and there were four "Confessions" films. This one is about window cleaners (Robin and Anthony Booth) who stumble upon a band called "Kipper". Anthony's character Sid ends up managing the band, while Robin's character Timothy Lea (no pun intended, I'm sure!) ends up being the drummer. A clean comedy could have been light hearted fun, but this film is full of nudity and general mayhem. The dialouge is generally flat also. The very pretty Carol Hawkins is wasted here. I wouldn't call it an abomination, but there is a lot of sleazy stuff going on (I felt bad for the mom who discovers her daughter in the van with the band-surely the girl could have done better). This is recommended for fans of the genre mostly, and there is a 4 disc box of all of the Confessions films. Casual watchers beware.

The format's not great, but the slapstick's funny

This is the slightly disappointing follow-up to the money-making CONFESSIONS OF A WINDOW CLEANER. POP PERFORMER tries to emulate the success and formula of that first film, but something about the set-up just doesn't ring true. These films work when they follow a straight forward, episodic format and this one is a satire of the pop scene, following the misadventures of a band whose music is appalling. There's no real reason for the characters to be involved in this stuff and it doesn't fit together too well, but it's still nice to see British actors working hard amidst all the boobs and bums.There's less of the sex element here, although a handful of set pieces make sure it's still in your face! Robin Askwith once again beds a string of beautiful women in scenes that are generally played for laughs, but these seem to have been tacked-on rather than making up the central plot. One encounter in a music shop to the strains of Spike Milligan's 'Ning Nang Nong' is classic stuff. Instead of sex, the focus is on the accident-prone Askwith, with the laugher factor turned up so high that this resembles an episode of SOME MOTHERS DO 'AVE 'EM! Still, there's something about watching the dated hijinks – especially in terms of the music – that make watching this film a lot of fun, and it's so light-hearted as to be completely inoffensive. Along with a string of beautiful, completely naked women (including TV star Jill Gascoine), there are turns from Benny Hill regular Bob Todd as a grumpy old boy; DAD'S ARMY's Bill Pertwee as a javelin-wielding cuckold; his co-star Ian Lavender as a randy copper; plus good turns for the regular Bill Maynard and Doris Hare, playing Askwith's mother and replacing the original actress. Director Norman Cohen takes over from the first film's Val Guest and he proves more than able to deliver a funny, fast-paced and chuckle-inducing romp.
