If you eventually decide to look past the dick tricks you'll witness a wonderful portrait of audiences keen to laugh and harmlessly immerse themselves in an escape from life and the bigotry of sexuality.
Mick Molloy's film is a legacy that certain taboos in society can be nullified by expression. There's no sexual content here, rather the demystifying evidence that a genital is offensive. Mick Molloy is one of my all time favourite Australian comedians and his dual role as, filmmaker-interviewer and radio promoter of the "Puppetry Of The Penis" show through his drive-time show with Tony Martin, MARTIN-MOLLOY - could be construed as a propagandistic piece to support his close friend and penis puppeteer, Simon Morley, but that's only if you're p***ed at him. This is a wonderful film. In the same league as Chris Smith's American MOVIE which depicted the same ambition albeit in a much more society friendly guise.
Don't be deterred by the subject matter - It's goes beyond it and reveals an encouragement to any of us who feels we might fail outside of society's expectations.
10/10!

Ozzy Osbourne is funny apparently. Drug and alcohol abuse makes a great TV experience. With merchandising and exploitation aplenty. So where does that leave this beautiful, sensitive and destructive soul known as Shane MacGowan ? He too has immersed his existence in such a fervour of drug and alcohol abuse which has resulted in massive mental injury and speech afforded a stroke victim. So surely he's next on the list for voyeur giggles.....?
Thankfully, he transcended the tabloid exposure and has been afforded a portrait of his life and sadly none too unique lifestyle, in this haunting and evocative film.
Before witnessing this biopic, I was not a McGowan/Pogues disciple. I was always aware of his life and read the many articles of varying coverage and rented this film to assuage my own growing guilt of drug and alcohol abuse and I was keen to experience this man in regard to own demons.
Narcissism aside, this is a triumph of outsiders looking in. A very sad and beguiling tale of a man riddled with a crippling sensitivity that is exposed through a compilation of interviews with Shane, his partner, band members and admirers, including a very poignant and refreshingly honest Nick Cave including a tapestry of archived clips and footage that paint the picture of the present footing of Shane MacGowan.
Somehow the film, though mired in a dark and brutal avenue, succeeds in elevating Shane and his predicament to a place of inspiration without condoning or encouraging the waste on display.
A Beautiful Gift....

Memorable for Sharon Stone's minge and that's about it folks.
Overlong, derivative of many superior psychological thrillers ala, 'Silence Of The Lambs', and littered with sporadic and incredibly laughable sex scenes (with sound effects), this motion picture succeeded regardless.
Some say Hitchcock would be proud....... Half his surname at least.
