Has anyone else seen this movie?
Comedy veterans and co-creators Penn Jillette and Paul Provenza capitalize on their insider status and invite over 100 of their closest friends--who happen to be some of the biggest names in entertainment, from George Carlin, Whoopi Goldberg, Drew Cary to Gilbert Gottfried, Bob Saget, Paul Reiser and Sarah Silverman--to reminisce, analyze, deconstruct and deliver their their own versions of world's dirtiest joke, an old burlesque, too extreme to be performed in public, called The Aristocrats.
I just watched it before, it was entertaining, but yeah.... The joke, isnt overly funny, but thats not the point, the way they basically didnt even let anyone uninteruppted tell the joke was shit.
The South Park telling of the joke was the best, partially because it was uniterupted. The Gilbert Gottfried telling, the way they intercut it with people talking about how great his telling of the joke was, ruined the whole bit.
I enjoyed watching the film, some funny stuff, but it was disapointing.
anyone else seen it have thought?
