National Lampoon's Dirty Movie (2011/Lionsgate DVD)
Picture: B- Sound: C Extras: B- Feature: B-
Breasts, sex and nudity isn't just cutting it anymore in the comedy industry,
so a producer, director and their underlings want to create a movie of non-stop
most dirtiest, offensive joke movie (along with all the naked girls and sex). They interview various actors and try to find
their stars they try and come up with the ultimate joke using the N-word. Yes, it’s another comedy with the National Lampoon name on it. This time, we get Dirty Movie!
A movie within a movie, there is no story or plot but the joke is to just have
one joke after another and that IS the story…. to have the most racist, sexist,
dirtiest, bigoted and gay jokes as much as possible. As the producer and (reluctant) director try
to get their movie approved by the board of directors, they must deal with
their limited budget and fight to keep their jokes in a PC, kosher world. They gather anything or anyone from midgets,
topless girls, transgenders, hillbillies to people with STDs.
This film makes fun of how tightly conservative the film industry is nowadays,
that actors are whores who are willing to do anything to get a role in a
movie, the producers who are willing to do anything to sell them, and
the directors who don't want to be sued or sent to jail for offending
their audiences. While it is not cool to
be prejudice, racist, anti-conservative, anti-gay, sexist or having animal sex
this film makes fun of people who are too uptight in wanting keeping things
kosher, that those who can't laugh or stand jokes about themselves need to
lighten up a bit. A joke is not a bad
joke if you are making fun of a dirty joke itself. Extras include
commentary with writer and producer, extra jokes, and trailer gallery.
