Movie Reviews of Kenny
Movie Review: One of my favorite movies
Summary: 5 Stars
This little gem is just an awesome movie! Kennie will endear anyone, I'm quite sure. He is a man with a sincere, gentle manner and he puts his heart into his work--even though almost no one (including his father and brother) respects what he does for a living. Kennie delivers some hilarious lines in the most deadpan serious way. You'll be surprised by the wonderful story line woven into this mockumentary on the porta-loo business in Australia. I don't think it's suitable for children. The language is pretty colorful along with a few surprise scenes that I wouldn't let my children see. Still, this is one of my top favorite movies of all time and it's one I can watch again and again (unusual for me). Be sure to watch the Extras on the DVD after the movie. I was amazed about the cast, where the story idea came from, and how they pulled this small budget movie off in such a professional way.Movie Review: Delightful
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw Kenny earlier this year in Australia, and found it completely delightful. I was skeptical at first -- many mockumentary characters are vapid, worthless imbeciles who serve only as whetstones for the writers to sharpen their sarcasm on, headcases with no self-awareness and even less personal appeal.
Kenny is just the opposite. He is a decent, ordinary bloke with a son who's not sure what to think of him, a father who's out-and-out ashamed of him, and a job that's thankless in the extreme... but he handles every turn with humor, grace, and some very sturdy work gloves.
Somehow amidst a plot full of absurd toilet humor (that somehow manages never to be crass) and riotously funny fish-out-of-water scenes, this movie made me a bit teary-eyed. It's a human film from start to finish, with comedy and pathos enough to satisfy even the most jaded movie-goer.
Movie Review: didn't know...
Summary: 5 Stars
we didn't know it wasn't a "real" documentary until the end. loved it! funny, sweet, very entertaining.
Kenny was a heck of a great guy. innocent yet wise. this film is a great commentary on people in general. if you like "people watching" watch this!
my man Norman and I watched Kenny, totally engrossed from start to finish. we laughed, we nodded in agreement, we rooted for dear big Kenny.
what a great actor! he was so convincing and real. just stunning. I loved his calm, humble interactions with people. how he just took the crap, like with his dad and the customers. he was wonderful!
I never read the DVD box before watching, because I don't want to KNOW a thing. and my strategy paid off, once again. as I was completely delighted by this fun and informative "documentary."
see it. so says Gramma Sally.
Movie Review: Common Sense Wisdom
Summary: 5 Stars
"Kenny" is a mocumentary about a Melbourne Aussie (Kenny) who's a porta-potty guru. As you learn the business of waste management you soon realize there's more to Kenny than meets the eye. As he battles the oddities of dealing with people and their waste needs, you are treated with some of the best common sense wisdom. He covers everything from divorce, fatherhood, family conflicts, to death, and employee relations. He is an honest, straightforward, simple guy who just wants to do a good job for people and be treated with respect. "Kenny" is a hilariously funny movie with a heart. This is a movie you will think about for a long time after. English subtitles are provided for the "Aussie-Impaired".Movie Review: Brilliant Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
It's no wonder Shane Jacobson won best actor in Australia for this film. The Jacobson's have created a wonderful character that is easy to love in spite of what he does and those around him. Kenny is an absolutely brilliant film that in the hands of lesser filmmakers could have easily become a rather silly film. However, you genuinely come to like this guy, and it's a shame it's only a character. I would love to sit down and have a beer with Kenny.
For Americans, to really appreciate this film, be sure to turn on subtitles. Kenny's genuine accent can be a bit hard to understand (I am sure Aussies understand), but you get so much more out of the film.
