  • 7 Up 1964

    ★★★★ Watched 22 May, 2013 1

    This page is for ''7-up'' but this is a review for 7-up, 7+7, and 21 up. This ''series'' is essentially unspoilable for those airing caution. I had planned to watch all of the films from this series and write my thoughts at the end but it has proved too much of a task and I fear what I would end up with would be too diffuse, especially with each runtime building as we move forward.
