Movie 43 (2013)

Movie 43 (R) - Review

"That's a lot of nuts!"

2013 is on us, and so is the meta compilation comedy movie.titled Movie 43.  Its a repugnant film starring resplindant film stars.  It is hip and chic to go slumming, and slumming they do in this genetalia laced 1.5 hour scat joke.  The humor is subbasement with the likes of Hugh Jackman, Dennis Quaid, Greg Kinnear, Kate Winslet, Naomi Watts, Richard Gere and Gerard Butler as a ball obsessed leprechaun.  The cast is stellar but not comedy oriented, so they spice up some of the other roles with seasoned funnymen the likes of Johnny Knoxville, Anna Faris and Larry Sanders.  Each piece is a small vinget created by its own director/writer (a Farrelly brother is involved) which are tied together with the narrative of the film being sold to a Hollywood producer.  Some skits can be likened to dirty SNL episodes (Batman and Robin on a date, a kid whos home schooled till insane) others to late night informercials for direct to video releases.  While it did illicit a few laughs and fed a fondness for cartoon cat mayhem, the unappatizing barrage of toilet/gential/and awkward humor left a bad taste in our mouth and a stain on the carpet.
