Summary: Comedy veterans and co-creators Penn Jillette and Paul Provenza capitalize on their insider status and invite over 100 of their closet friends (who happen to be some of the biggest names in entertainment, from George Carlin, Whoopi Goldberg, Drew Carey to Gilbert Gottfried, Bob Saget, Paul Reiser and Sarah Silverman) to reminisce, analyze, deconstruct and deliver their own versions of the world's dirtiest joke, an old burlesque routine, too extreme to be performed in public, called "The Aristocrats." (ThinkFilm)
While this can get tedious it is pretty damned funny. I'm with George Carlin as far as funny goes, ANYTHING can be funny as long as you tell it right. Would have loved to have seen Billy Conolly's take on the joke, and the ventriloquist was the most offensive thing in the film as he sucked and shouldn't be working.
If you find anything massively offensive don't watch this. If you find Bob Saget and Carrie Fisher being disgusting, and can take jokes about anything, then you probably should.
If you like really really vulgar comedy then this is for you. I tried to keep watching it because some of the stuff I found funny (Gilbert Gotfried and Drew Carey), but I only made it about 30 minutes before I finally quit. I guess I just do not like crass jokes. I was upset I was unable to last to see Saget, Silverman, Stewart or Chris Rock, but just couldn't handle it anymore.
Fail to see what the purpose of the film is, but didn't expect Bob Saget to be so racy. It's about the secret handshake of the american comedy scene, and this "joke" is really really sick.
For the not easily offended, this is a movie worth seeing at some point down the road, if for no other reason than to get a glimpse at the creativity and talent it takes to craft a successful joke that can push all moral barriers and still end up oddly innocent and good-natured. This movie is something of a peculiarity rather than a fully formed motion picture, but makes up for that by having sharp-tongued ingenuity to spare and a clear-cut purpose to its raunchy madness.
