Kenny
99 min.

Dir. Clayton Jacobson

Rated PG-13
This mild-mannered mockumentary is about an genial Australian named Kenny Smyth (Shane Jacobson) and his honorable, full-time employment in the port-a-potty business. Peppered with memorable Aussie slang, Kenny guides us through the insults and revulsion the poor man must confront every workday and records his resigned but invariably cheery responses. By the end of the film, it's impossible to understand why his wife left him or why his father treats him so harshly. Kenny is without blemish—he's a perfect son, an ideal father, a great supervisor, and a fine employee. The film gets less interesting the longer it goes on about its protagonist's moral superiority over the rest of humanity, but it stays fairly funny throughout.
