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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
