Rating:  - More Like "Dave Clark 1"
This film, which is a cross between A Hard Days Night and the Marx Brothers, focuses almost completely on Dave Clark as stuntman (and alleged kidnapper) Steve and his relationship with meat poster girl Dinah. The other four members of the band are in the background, partying at their pad, attending a fancy dress ball, and keeping the authorities on a wild goose chase while Steve and Dinah experience one adventure after another on their way to Dinah's dream island. In fact, I don't think Lenny Davidson ... Read More
Rating:  - ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzz!
This is one of the most disappointing 'Rock' films I have ever seen. It should have been named 'Dave Clark And His Egocentric Wild Weekend'. There is way too much Dave Clark and not nearly enough Mike, Lenny, Rick or Denis. Another annoyance is, I hear some DC5 tunes between the boring incidental music but do not see a single DC5 performance. In fact they are not even musicians in the movie as they portray stunt men. Come on! All is not lost as the film does have it's moments. The party scene with the 'title' ... Read More
Rating:  - The Dave Clark Five Do Their Own Thing
I was simply shocked at how good "Having A Wild Weekend" was after seeing it for the first time recently. ....The DC5's film borrows the fast pace, ingenious cuts, sense of sprightly enthusiasm and b&w artiness of its forebear, but matches it with a unique plot of its own. Rather than playing themselves, the group here are stuntmen, and the story revolves around one of them (Steve, played by the self-described saturnine Dave Clark) taking a model out for a "wild weekend". The press, egged on by her boss, ... Read More

Rating: - Put your brain on "autopilot" and enjoy!
Yes, it's an obvious rip off of "A Hard Day's Night", but so was EVERY 60's rock group film released on the heels of that ground-breaking classic. "Having A Wild Weekend" benefits from having a "name" director at the helm-John Boorman... The DC 5 unfortunately lacked the screen charisma that served the Fabs so well, but the movie is quite entertaining as a "Swinging '60's" time capsule, and the band's jangly, sunny-side-up songs will have you dancing in your media room. (Many power-pop bands to this day cite the ... Read More
