A knight in shining overalls.
The Australian cinema "hit" has finally arrived on DVD that tells
the tale of Kenny Smyth, an unsung hero who supplies the denizens of
Victoria with porta-loos. This mock "documentary" follows
Kenny as he explains the basics behind the world of porta-loos,
travelling from one venue to the next, in order to ensure that the
bodily functions of thousands are kept under control via his company
"Splashdown".
Although the story may seem like your traditional "poo" and "wee"
jokes, the creators of Kenny (The Jacobson Family), ensure that our
hero also has a human side as he fights with his ex-wife, tries to
raise a son on weekends, attempts to live up to his father's
expectations in Ocean Grove and falls in love in Nashville Tenessee at
the International Pumper and Cleaner Expo.
This movie, even though
rated M15+ could almost be considered a family movie as the jokes
are rather "clean" and there are enough laughs in the tale
to have a good time, however, the story unfortunately begins to drag on
near the end of the movie as if the director had lost his original
vision. Worth seeing to see what all the hype was about.
