****½

 

The film Kenny plays out like a documentary, following the exploits of Kenny Smyth (played by Shane Jacobson), as he goes about his business. Kenny Smyth is a good natured Aussie bloke, typical of many working class Aussies. He's an average guy, working an average job for an average day's pay. Overalls are his uniform. His drink of choice, beer.

Kenny's job is poo, literally. Kenny works for Splashdown (allegedly a real company responsible for financing a bulk of the film), a portable toilet company that provides public conveniences for punters at various out door events and festivals. While his father may not approve of his son's profession as "a glorified turd burglar", there's no doubt that Kenny takes great

pride in what he does. Kenny's work takes him to "Poo HQ", a porta-loo convention in the US.

Kenny is a warm hearted film. It packs some good laughs as well as shining a spotlight on relationships within a slightly dysfunctional family unit. The number of poo jokes in this film is extraordinary. In true mockumentary style you could be forgiven for believing that Kenny is a real guy. This movie encapsulates what it is to be Australian.

In short, Kenny shits all over the majority of Australian films produced of late. Genuinely funny and genuinely entertaining.
