There were only maybe 20-25 of us to start with and we lost 4 within the first ten minutes. You could be mistaken for thinking that this was the worst movie of all time (though note nothing could be be as bad as The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou) but no – the reason for the walk out was that we were watching a documentary on The Aristocrats and we noted that all the walk outs were females. What is The Aristocrats? What could cause such a walkout. Well, if I had known that it was doco on THE filthiest joke ever I don’t think I would have brought my young impressionable trainee with me. Sorry S!
Anyway, the doco was certainly interesting, quite well told and often amusing but boy was the topic simply outrageous. I can’t even begin to describe what we heard but it was dirty, scandalous, profane, scatalogical, naughty and just plain funny. My favourite version was when the joke was incorporated with a card trick – now that was a nice little party trick.
This is not a movie for everyone but if you can take it, and not feel absolutely mortified, it is a definite hoot.
