Kenny - Rhys A

Kenny is a thoroughly enjoyable Australian mockumentary about a down to earth bloke who works as a plumber/port-a-loo installer. With elements reminiscent of both 'The Castle' and 'Crocodile Dundee', the film follows Kenny's day-to-day existence including visits to the Melbourne Cup, Calder Park and the St. Kilda festival. You can't help but laugh as Kenny shares his ockerish observations and insights only gained through his particular line of work. We are drawn to Kenny and his good humour as we share his struggles with work, family and even a romance. The toilet-humour is generally understated and the audience is never grossed-out. A feel-good film that if nothing else will make you think next time you visit a port-a-loo!


Rating: Four and half out of five.
