I went to see Kenny by myself the other day. It was only $5 at Hornsby Odeon and I just waltzed in off the street randomly to find it starting in 2 minutes. The cinema was filled with old people and I was anxious that they would get embarrassed by all poo references. I don't think they did though. They all chuckled a lot at the poo jokes.
It was a real winner of a movie. Kenny must be the most likeable movie character ever.
I know – Kenny is just an all round nice guy. A bit of a big, innocent kid actually. He is happy with who he is, and treats everyone the same which is probably why everyone responds so well to him. It was a great, understated film. Even my older brother thought it was good. And my younger brother quotes from it. Constantly. (Should make for an interesting Christmas.) We’re thinking of taking my Dad to see it. Who would have thought plumbing and poo could unite a family?

[…] I went round to Libby, Alice and Laurence’s house last night for their sci-fi night. Unfortunately we couldn’t get the sci-fi to work so we rented some movies. While the other’s watched Kenny I watched Clerks II on my own. It was very funny. It had all the signature Kevin Smith lameness which always manages to amuse me immensely. It’s nearly all the same people who did the first Clerks and they’re a bunch of freaks. This was a “Hollywood” movie so everything was shot nicely and it comes in this over-produced DVD with painfully daggy plot synopses and 4 hours of special features. But I’m so glad Hollywood encourages these sorts of people. […]
