Movie Reviews of Kenny
Movie Review: Not W.C. Fields but Fields of W.C.s
Summary: 4 Stars
KENNY was shown Spring 2008 at Philadelphia Film Fest. The scuttlebutt (puns already!) were that this was a funny film; a title like KENNY didn't register its subject matter to me, but an Australian-- or was it New Zealand film, sounded promising to me. I'm jumping the gun here, but the reason I am unsure of where the film was made, is that I purchased 4 DVDs this fall for gifts to friends. I promised myself after seeing KENNY last spring that this was a perfect gift for a number of my male friends. (I don't now own a copy.) There were as many women in the sold out audience at the Film Fest last spring laughing as hard as we all were. It's not the sorta thing a man buys a woman for a gift-- well not me. But it is hilarious. I truly thought this film would get a major release; I never heard further of it. It appeared on the racks of DVD vendors in October I think. It's bathroom-- cut the euphemism-- toilet humor. The film is about Kenny, who narrates in Aussie (English subtitles so you don't miss a word) English this mockumentary of a "Sanitation" man (he provides porta-potties) to major sports,Rock shows and other large events-- it's Australia I'm sure.
The engaging performance of the actor portraying Kenny and the delightfully (I did say that) scripted 'tome' he delivers throughout is (I will not say 'delicious')bright, funny.
The film and Kenny never (here I go again) stoop so low as to be as tasteless as my 'delicious' word use. Having grown up in the midwest in the age of dinosaurs, bathroom humor supplanted any suggestion or mention of sex; I left all the "beans" humor behind long ago, and I will crudely embarrass myself again by saying this film KENNY I found refreshing and very, very funny. The guys I gave this DVD to have all responded and quoted lines to me. It worked! It's not great film art, but there's a wonderfully honest picture of a blue collar worker who sees through the crap (literally) and at another level, much the way W.C. Fields in those 1930's brilliant comedies tolerated fools, jerks and ..turds. Gibbs Murray
