So, myself and two friends decide to make the trek to see the movie. I waited patiently to see if it would show here in Windsor, and it seems the nearest theatre in Canada to show it is in Toronto!(4 hours away) Thankfully, our American friends have a few theatres that are showing it, so we drive out a half hour to a theatre in Detroit to see it.
And I'm soooo happy I did. :thumbup:
This movie is not for everyone. I read a review that sums it up nicely - If you are offended by ANYTHING, don't go see this movie.
For those who might not have heard about it, this movie is a 90 minute documentary about a joke. Its a joke that has never been told to the public, but a joke that comedians recite amongst themselves in a game of one-up-manship and comraderie.
The joke isn't even funny. If you read any review of it, you know i'm not spoiling it by giving the basis of the joke - A man walks into a talent agency, claiming to have this great new family act. The agent goes, OK, what do you do? The man describes the act, after which the agent asks, what is the name of this? And the man responds 'The Aristocrats!'.
In that section above that is italicized, those 5 words, 'the man describes the act' is where the comedian has free reign to go nuts. And some do. Think dirty. Think bad. And then, forget all that, cause they all do worse. [hint: The south park retelling of the joke was leaked on the 'net before the movie came out. If you look for it, you'll find it. Disclaimer: don't blame me if you watch it and are so offended you recreate the shower scene from 'the crying game'... i warned you ]
We had 4 or 5 people walk out on this movie when we saw it. Its that dirty. But if you can last, I think you'll be treated to one hell of a good movie. Its the ultimate inside joke.
The best bits in my mind were:
South park with a quick machine gun delivery
Sarah Silverman for doing it in a way that can be extremely vile and extremely sexy
Gilbert Gottfried for outing the joke at a friar's club roast when his 9/11 joke bombed bad
Billy the Mime!
Carlin just because its Carlin
Anyone else see it? I may go back to see it again, which is high praise from me......
