Top CriticOld-fashioned toilet humour gets a postmodern makeover in this laconic Australian mockumentary about a mobile toilet installer.
10/18/08
Charming comedy with a strong script and a delightful central performance from Shane Jacobson.
10/18/08
Kenny is the genuine article.
10/18/08
The result is a mockumentary that never mocks, but instead introduces us to a character we never stop rooting for and won't soon forget.
09/05/08
Kenny is always there in an instant with a philosophical quip and a stoic resolution.
08/06/08
The film's real accomplishment, in this era of masked superheroes, is making a paladin of a regular guy whose ethics we can all emulate.
08/01/08
The film's strongest asset is Shane Clayton, whose Kenny is the funniest thing to come out of Australia since Crocodile Dundee.
08/01/08
Funny, accessible and ultimately a good time.
08/01/08
Despite all the wild and icky antics, this is in no way your typical gross-out. Because the spotlight is less on crude easy laughs, than a genuine feel for the Chaplinesque proletarian plight of a worker just trying to find dignity in an unfeeling world.
07/26/08
It's like an Aussie equivalent of The Foot Fist Way, shot quick and dirty, but coasting efficiently on the affable personalities of the performers and their characters. Sweet and amusing.
07/18/08
The Australian charmer Kenny, about a hard-working, jovial employee for a portable toilet company, is a low-key study of underdog pride rather than a Larry the Cable Guy bodily function jokefest.
07/18/08
Top CriticDon't worry, though; Kenny isn't so realistic that you can smell it.
07/18/08
Crude (in every sense) but surprisingly charming.
07/17/08
A hit and prize winner in Australia, Kenny has the power to charm, no matter which way the water swirls.
07/17/08
Top CriticI sense that the Jacobson brothers set out to make a simple little comedy. But how grand it must be for them to see the humanity of their fresh, inventive film rising to the level of its humor.
06/21/08
The result is a minor masterpiece of tone in Kenny's portrayal of a character that is absurd, guileless and shrewd at the same time.
04/04/08
Top CriticWaste is a terrible thing to mind -- unless you are port-a-potty installer Kenny Smyth, the unlikely hero of a hilarious and fresh (figuratively speaking, of course) comedy from Down Under.
04/04/08
Top CriticThe perfect antidote to any disappointing summer blockbuster.
