Kenny

A very funny/interesting movie shot id documentary style. My better half and I didn't know what to expect from the video as we had only heard one comment that it was funny so ... money well spent. Some touching parts and a 'real life' type of story - not glamorous, not fancy, down to earth and just regular guys. Fair warning - if your hearing is a bit off you may want to have the subtitles on as the accents are a bit thick in spots.

This little gem is just an awesome movie! Kennie will endear anyone, I'm quite sure. He is a man with a sincere, gentle manner and he puts his heart into his work--even though almost no one (including his father and brother) respects what he does for a living. Kennie delivers some hilarious lines in the most deadpan serious way. You'll be surprised by the wonderful story line woven into this mockumentary on the porta-loo business in Australia. I don't think it's suitable for children. The language is pretty colorful along with a few surprise scenes that I wouldn't let my children see. Still, this is one of my top favorite movies of all time and it's one I can watch again and again (unusual for me). Be sure to watch the Extras on the DVD after the movie. I was amazed about the cast, where the story idea came from, and how they pulled this small budget movie off in such a professional way.

Den Film Kenny habe ich das erste Mal während meines einjährigen Aufenthaltes in Australien gesehen, und ich muss sagen, dass ich den australischen Slang damals besser verstanden habe als später, als ich den Film ein zweites Mal in Deutschland gesehen habe. Es ist nicht ganz einfach zu verstehen, und die schnelle Sprechweise und der lustige Sprachfehler des Hauptdarstellers und das Genuschel machens nicht einfacher. Andererseits ist es kein schwieriges Thema, und anhand der Bilder ist dem Film auch gut zu folgen. Dennoch erschließen sich die meisten Witze erst, wenn man die Unterhaltung auch versteht. Der Hauptdarsteller spielt hervorragend, es ist kaum zu glauben, dass es keine echte Doku, sondern gespielt ist. Man erfährt einiges über die "Toilettenhäuschenindustrie" im Allgemeinen und die australische Lebensweise und die gewisse lässig-australische Herangehensweise an die Arbeit im besonderen. Alles in allem sehr gelungen, besonders für Australienfans und Freunde schwarzen (Achtung, hier doppeldeutig) Humors!

amazon got my selection to me in record time no hassles. the dvd "kenny" is the funniest thing we have ever watched! . we saw part of it on tv one weekend and thought it was for real,thats how well it's filmed and acted out, it's filmed in documentary style, we thought how stupid is this guy it was very realistic and at the same time , so ridiculously funny. YOU NEED TO SEE THIS ONE TO BELIEVE IT trust me you will laugh out loud

Watched it on Singapore Airlines - its an absolutely hilarious movie, and for quite a while you wonder whether its a discovery channel documentary that went wrong or whether it's a movie. It's the story we all know: a born loser has a job that nobody wants (a plumber that specialised in moveable toilet containers / boxes), gets into situations he cant win, is the one that everybody makes jokes about, but he keeps his dignity and ultimately has the last laugh. The actors are phantastic, absolutely authentic. Great movie, 5 stars.
