Kenny Smyth is a plumber who works for a portaloo company based in Australia. He is your average, down-to-earth, nice guy with an abundance of patience and a sensible and astute outlook on life. He works with 'shit', literally, likes to talk about it, much to the general public's disgust, and although other people tend to look down on him he feels no shame. As he puts it; "It takes a certain kind of person to do what I do. No-one's ever impressed; no-one's ever fascinated. If you're a fireman, all the kids will want to ...

Advantages: Great script, good acting, interesting direction, nothing like American Pie Disadvantages: The title lets it down, do men like this exist?
When I read the TV-guide synopsis for Roger Dodger, I thought it would be along the lines of a fluffy, teenage sex comedy a la 'American Pie' and I could hardly be forgiven for that assumption - 'When 16-year old Nick (Jesse Eisenberg) visits his uncle Roger (Campbell Scott) in the big city determined to lose his virginity, he is given lessons in life and love.'

undercut by "Taking Care of Business" for the end credits' final shenanigans.
"Kenny" is a film that will appeal to those who enjoy mockumentaries or have a taste for spontaneous comedy. The performances are suitably underplayed, the script is sharp and loaded with fifth form lavatorial humour. Those of a sensitive disposition should note that there is rather a lot of swearing. I really enjoyed it because it fits with my sense of humour and there is a lot of imaginative wordplay, that though often coarse is funny. And I suspect it will find its natural home on DVD where the directorial style will come into its own. ...
