Review of A Dirty Shame (2004) by Chris B — 11 Oct 2009
A sex comedy that's not sexy at all. Mostly because I found Tracey Ullman difficult to look at most of the time, probably would have worked better if they had Selma Blair the main character or something in terms of that. Anyway, this film tries so hard to be quirky, trendy, and funny but it fails at all of those things. The film seems like it was quickly put together because there are times that just seem so convenient throughout like the neighbors seemingly taking turns showing up an talking randomly, not to mention it feels like they're on a set 24/7. There are a few mild laughs in this thing though; like Selma Blair throwing the remote at her moms head or Knoxville walking into the vagina-looking tree and the tree getting off on it.
Overall, this film sucks but it does have 2 or 3 laughs, and for a sex comedy don't expect sexy.
