Aristocrats/Movie
I had heard about this movie for the longest time... I just returned from checking it out.... This movie was funny as hell.. Bottom Line There where a few folks that walked out from the movie.....
If you get a chance go see this movie...A certain chain of Movie Theater ( three letters) was too scared to carry this film....
Just remember the movie is based on the premise of a joke.....Best thing I have seen in a long time....

3. I really liked Sarah Silverman's and Kevin Pollack's
Saget was quite good too, though.

I haven't laughed that hard for that long in a very long time.

I was quite happy I went to go see it.

14. Looks like Joe Franklin is upset with Sarah Silverman...
NY Post via www.jossip.com:

http://www.nypost.com/gossip/pagesix.htm

"They told me to say, 'Keep an eye out for Sarah Silverman,' " a fuming Franklin told us. "They were setting me up to have a wisecrack at my expense. I've never heard of Sarah Silverman. I've never even met her. I was definitely duped. If I wanted to, I could file a major, major lawsuit. I still haven't decided about that."

Silverman, who dates Jimmy Kimmel, had one of the best lines at the recent Comedy Central Roast of Pam Anderson. "Some say Pam would be nobody without her breasts. That's just not true," Silverman cracked — "She'd be Paris Hilton."

Franklin told PAGE SIX that several months ago, while introducing "The Aristocrats" at a press screening, the movie's director, Paul Provenza, thanked him for "being a good sport."

"If I decide to pursue a lawsuit, he'll see what a good sport I am," Franklin said. "I didn't like the nature of that wisecrack. Even though some people tell me I should be flattered and honored to be in that film, I just didn't like the nature of that wisecrack."

6. I saw the movie over the weekend.
Edited on Mon Aug-22-05 02:11 PM by DinahMoeHum
Small theater - no more than 100 seats, only 1/3 were filled.

Nobody walked out, but IMO, the movie was a little too long - if you consider 90 minutes too long! For it's topic, it would have been better at just 1 hour and 10-20 minutes.

But, boy-o-boy !! there were some :rofl: moments! And I couldn't help but conjure up a similar joke in my mind, involving the "First Family" :evilgrin:

:rofl:

9. Where'd you see it? The theaters have been packed here in NY.
There were a couple of points that were draggy, but nothing awful.

11. Thanks, but no thanks. I heard the joke before and I do not
like it. Just not funny, not insulting, but NOT funny!
