Dirty Movie

Gilbert Gottfried used to do a stand-up tour where he just did dirty public domain jokes for an hour, occasionally interrupted with an unfunny impression. I always thought he was kind of a hack for it, because what's the merit there? It's not like you have to go to bars and collect dirty jokes like gems, there are plenty of books and websites on the subject. As embarrassing as that tour/DVD was, at least a guy standing on a stage is the correct medium for that sort of thing. These jokes are meant to be told, not acted out in "sketches". In one of the few tie-in scenes that are put in this movie to give the illusion of a plot, one character actually mentions how a movie that's nothing but old public domain jokes would suck. Yes, it will and it does, why make it then? Pointing out your errors as an in-joke doesn't get you off the hook, it usually makes everything worse. There are two credited writers/people who know how Google works, and the parts where they are forced to come up with new jokes are among the most embarrassing movie scenes I've ever witnessed. The pre-credit sequence is a girl that sings the national anthem, but the joke is that her singing is off-key. There's no punchline and the scene goes on forever, is this just put in to make you long for the parts with old jokes everyone already knows?

The worst part of the movie has got to be the child actors though. The entire point of casting children was just for shock value (children swearing was apparently still edgy in 2011), but they're clearly reading their sex jokes from cue cards and still mess up the punchlines. They often sound like they don't even get the joke, putting the emphasis on the wrong words and things like that. Chances are they'll be pretty embarrassed by this movie once they've grown up, and perhaps they should be.

What a piece of DUSTBIN!

I too watched this all the way thru, basically because i admire Chris Meloni and thought-foolishly -that there would be some point emerge by the end. More fool me!

I wonder about Chris Meloni's involvement. After all those years on SVU and also OZ. I found myself wondering about the child actor involved in this trash. Where do they find these kids that say such foul language- does anybody care about the long term effects?

I prefer the kids in The Narnia chronicles.

IT did not bring a smile or a chuckle to my face. The nudity is all female and one wonders about the exploitation of women. Don't waste your time-there is NOTHING worth while about this piece of trash.

Last night I was working out and this came on again, forgetting how bad I had found it from my previous viewing I continued to watch it for a while. God's it is SO BAD! I now notice that the talented Chris Meloni was a Co- Director, obviously his talents do not lie with choosing material. So he has no one to blame but himself. At least he has the sense to make himself look unrecognizable, but then one wants to ask "Why did you make this movie and then add insult to injury by not even looking like yourself?" When one considers his sterling work in OZ and Law & Order SUV, one wonders why he would include scenes with a young boy-one would assume not even the bearer of pubic hair and have this child discuss wanting to get "laid" and other sleazy lines. If I lured a child into my home and spoke such trash with him, I would probably end up on the sex offender's list

If I was Chris Meloni, I would view this film as a HUGE MISTAKE and Embarressment. FOR SHAME!

This is a awful movie. Utter waste of time. I don't mind the National Lampoon series but this is definitely scrapping the scum on the bottom of the barrel.

The plot is non existent. We know that the producer wants to produce a movie about dirty jokes. But the jokes instead of being witty or sarcastic or barbed; turn out to be like what you will hear in a playground. Told by 6 years old, with giggles.

Honestly, the script writers, directors, producers should have watch Spaceballs, Robin Hood - Men in tights or even Borat. At least we get comedy (albeit low-brow but not stale).

Sheesh, they could even have drunk dial Mel Brooks for advice.

To sum it in one word, anagram of "heist"

A man with a dream of making a movie with only dirty jokes (Meloni) goes to the head of National Lampoon (Klein) to get it made. It seems like forever ago when National Lampoon was in it's glory days (Animal House, Vacation). The last 10 or so have been pretty bad, this is the best one they have made since the original "Van Wilder". There is nothing to this movie but dirty joke after dirty joke acted out, for example there is a kid playing "little Johnny", etc.... A lot of the jokes are very offensive but I could not stop laughing. The best way to watch is in parts...after 20 min it loses its appeal becoming to repetitive, but I actually found it funny and if you are looking for a movie you don't have to thing about and just watch, then this is a good choice. I give it a B-.

Would I watch again? - Yes - With some of my friends who haven't seen it.

This movie has something for everyone to hate. The dirtiest, raunchiest, rudest, nastiest most off color jokes ever created. Oh, and gratuitous nudity. If this offends you, don't bother. The premise is stupid, the production quality is as cheap as it gets, and I'm guessing that Meloni hopes no one ever sees this piece of trashiness. Still, it's pretty damn funny. It's not for everyone...hell, it's probably not for 99% of the population, and you have to assume that National Lampoon knew that going in and that didn't stop them. I'm almost ashamed to admit to how many of the jokes I had already heard.
