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.

Are you kidding me? A movie about people wanting to make a movie with nothing but jokes? This have got to be the weakest plot and storyline ever!

Nevertheless, I did sit through the entire movie. And I will give the movie this much that many of the jokes were actually good and funny. But the whole point of the movie was pointless and a waste of time. Perhaps that was what was intended. But wow!

Most noteworthy in "Dirty Movie" was Christopher Meloni (playing producer Charlie LaRue). He was hilarious, and he was well helped along the way by Mario Cantone (playing the producer).

There was also a lot of really unnecessary nudity in the movie, which brought the movie down a notch. It was tacky and just didn't serve the movie well.

For a National Lampoon movie, then "Dirty Movie" was a very weak experience. Sure there were some good laughs at some of the jokes, but the overall impression of this movie is that it wasn't a movie that was necessary to have been made, much less released onto the market. But hey, I guess there is a niche for every weird and bizarre taste. If you like comedies, there are a lot of more nice and interesting comedies available, even other National Lampoon ones.

I like low-brow humor...this wasn't even at that level. This is clearly one of the worst excuses for a movie that I have ever seen. The premise was stupid, the jokes were stupid, the acting was stupid, and thank goodness that the movie was free on Comcast and I could fast forward through the whole thing....actually I never even made it to the end.

The one redeeming factor was that Christoper Meloni was 'disguised' enough that this probably didn't ruin his career....although not sure how much he has done since this film .

Do not waste your time. If you want to waste your time, at least watch something from Troma.

A producer walks into a building to pitch the idea for making a movie made up of dirty jokes. And they make it. That is literally the plot to this movie and it's absolutely terrible.

There is no reason for this movie to even exist. Get a bunch of friends together and go around the circle telling dirty and offensive jokes and occasionally open a Playboy magazine and stare at some naked women. It'll be the same thing and you'll have saved some money and time.

Don't bother with this unless you're 12 because I think that's the only age where you'd find this funny.

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"
