Durch seine flotte und solide Arbeit, die über der gewohnten Norm liegt, entfesselt ein junger Mann einen Arbeitskampf. Eine hintergründige Satire auf Arbeitsmoral, Geschäfts- und Gewerkschaftsmethoden, weitgehend witzig und mit guten Darstellern. (Verleiher-Text)

Ian Carmichael is charming as the upper-class supplicant, Richard Attenborough made me enjoy Terry Thomas more, who didn't get much of an opportunity here, but the star of I'm All Right Jack, intended or not, is Peter Sellers. His trade unionist, who flaunts the democratic vote, but at the same time looks up to Russia, a country about which he has very mistaken ideas, for example, that it is full of cornfields and ballets, is great. For a moment, it seems like he's going to be a simple antagonist figure, but Sellers and the script quickly make Mr. Kite a real person you come to like and even feel sorry for when his company also goes on strike, together with Missiles. The comedy is properly satirical, but it has not become stale and even today we can see what it wanted to say in its time. Perhaps it could have ended with the giant brawl in the TV studio involving the Vikings, the nude epilogue was unnecessary.
