It's a comedy moc-doc about a chunky thirtysomething Australian who works in the portable toilet business and maintains and cleans all manner of loos at various of festivals and other social bashes.
So it has poo jokes galore but it also has a very sharp, very funny and surprisingly touching script. It also has Shane Jacobson who is excellently under-stated as the forever put-upon toilet technician with a big heart and a great line in philosophy.
But all the small cast give top-drawer performances, from Eve Von Bibra as Kenny's air stewardess love interest and Ronald Jacobson as his ogre of a father.
Basically it's bloody funny and it tugs at the heart strings in unexpected ways. In fact, to quote the film itself, it's funnier than a 'bum filled with smarties'.
It should get an Oscar. Or something like that. It beats the arse off of any other comedy released so far this year...
