Would I watch again? - Yes - With some of my friends who haven't seen it.
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"
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.
There is of course several scenes towards the latter part of explicit random and rather unnecessary nudity. The highlights are the Vienna sausages commercials- including the second one featuring the older man and the blonde woman (1:10:00). An interrupted "scene" with the director cutting a scene featuring a black "little person" and a woman ending with punchline jokes. Another amusing scene with Former boxer Larry Holmes has a random cameo as a judge in the very end. Overall the film isn't for the easily offended yet it's still not great. Though the second half is more amusing than the first half.
