Review of Kenny

Kenny (2006)
9/10
Best Aussie comedy since 'The Dish'
4 October 2008
'Kenny' is the best Australian comedy I've seen since the 2000 hit 'The Dish.' Kenny (Shane Jacobson) who stars, co-wrote & co-produced this film calls himself a plumber. He is completely committed to his portable toilet job and his sense of responsibility is far more serious than most folks doing any other type of work. The job requires him to stage, keep clean, fix and protect portable toilets. He runs a crew who maintain a portable toilet fleet of various shapes, sizes & amenities. He serves concerts, drag races and even the prestigious Melbourne Cup, the Kentucky Derby of down-under.

No matter what the event, Kenny sees the human waste of society while struggling to make their 'pottying' experiences as pleasant as possible. (he even keeps track of complaints.)

Kenny has a family -- an ex-wife who manipulates him with his divorce-victim son (Jessie Jacobson), his ill and cranky dad (Ronald Jacobson) and his high society brother. (Clayton Jacobson) As you can tell, this is a talented family project, so real that the film provides the fascinating, genuine documentary flavor throughout.

'Kenny' is not a bodily waste slinging, slipping, sliding or covered in waste flick. It's a laugh out loud comedy that provides an intimate look at a man and his life that will have you wetting your undies.

Note: The film distributor increases your pleasure by adding subtitles throughout the film reducing the need to spend 10-minutes adjusting to a tasty Aussie accent.

Seek out 'Kenny'; your job will never feel the same again.
