crabcancer This is a awful movie. Utter waste of time. I don't mind the National Lampoon series but this is definitely scrapping the scum on the bottom of the barrel.The plot is non existent. We know that the producer wants to produce a movie about dirty jokes. But the jokes instead of being witty or sarcastic or barbed; turn out to be like what you will hear in a playground. Told by 6 years old, with giggles.Honestly, the script writers, directors, producers should have watch Spaceballs, Robin Hood - Men in tights or even Borat. At least we get comedy (albeit low-brow but not stale).Sheesh, they could even have drunk dial Mel Brooks for advice.To sum it in one word, anagram of "heist"

aesgaard41 You know how there are movies that seem to be good ideas on paper but turn out lousy, and those movies you wonder how in God's Green Earth became green-lit to get made, this movie is both. Based along the lines of "Kentucky Fired Movie," "Dirty Movie" is nothing but a string of obscene and demented characters acting out the dirty jokes your acid-baked dumb-ass former friends used to tell in school. Basically "The Benny Hill Show" on acid, except without the humor, clever one-liners or the witty repartee, the movie is a string of obscene material and tasteless dialogue interspersed with scenes of an extremely low-budget film company trying to make a movie with nothing but jokes which get worse and even more controversial as it continues. It doesn't push the envelope; it ignores it completely. The movie fails to realize the difference between dirty jokes and offensive jokes; dirty jokes are basically humor directed at misunderstandings of human vices and stigmas, such as drinking and sex. Offensive jokes are purposely based on ignorance and intolerance and directly aimed at religious, cultural and ethnic groups. The vignettes of the filmmaking crew are the only partially interesting thing about the film; especially as the creators debate between art and sensationalism. Christopher Meloni of "Law & Order" plays a typical despicable director, a man completely without morals, humanity or any redeeming human qualities, joined by Robert Klein as the equally emotionally-deficient producer and Cyndi Lauper as a mom in a few sketches. The only thing interesting about the fake sketches is that as they go on, it starts becoming noticeable that even they seem to share a loose storyline of characters with a male bartender playing straight man, a cute female bartender delivering lines to drunks, a psychotic young boy (Cyndi's boy), a demented and unprofessional physician, some stoned redneck farmers and a mad priest among others. The nudity is confined to more than a few bare breast shots; a few of the women are actually attractive (one particularly homely one turns out in the commentary to be a pseudo-famous female impersonator), but the movie is so focused on indecency and immorality that they're reduced to set dressing than plot points. Like I said, the only interesting parts of the movie are the internal debates on what constitutes obscene material and just what it is willing to do or not do, but most of the time, the movie just drags its feet across the line for no purpose at all but to be shocking. Ignore trying to be funny, the film wants to appall and disgust. (Worse yet, there are adolescent kids in some of the scenes.) Bottom line: the only people who might appreciate this film are stoners, drunks and immature college students.

sreiss I like low-brow humor...this wasn't even at that level. This is clearly one of the worst excuses for a movie that I have ever seen. The premise was stupid, the jokes were stupid, the acting was stupid, and thank goodness that the movie was free on Comcast and I could fast forward through the whole thing....actually I never even made it to the end.The one redeeming factor was that Christoper Meloni was 'disguised' enough that this probably didn't ruin his career....although not sure how much he has done since this film .Do not waste your time. If you want to waste your time, at least watch something from Troma.

Tony Heck A man with a dream of making a movie with only dirty jokes (Meloni) goes to the head of National Lampoon (Klein) to get it made. It seems like forever ago when National Lampoon was in it's glory days (Animal House, Vacation). The last 10 or so have been pretty bad, this is the best one they have made since the original "Van Wilder". There is nothing to this movie but dirty joke after dirty joke acted out, for example there is a kid playing "little Johnny", etc.... A lot of the jokes are very offensive but I could not stop laughing. The best way to watch is in parts...after 20 min it loses its appeal becoming to repetitive, but I actually found it funny and if you are looking for a movie you don't have to thing about and just watch, then this is a good choice. I give it a B-.Would I watch again? - Yes - With some of my friends who haven't seen it.
