Moviecut—Fart: A Documentary

source: Fart: A Documentary

This is a documentary that lasts way way way way too long. The subject is somewhat 'odd' but surely interesting. Everybody farts. Everybody has similar emotions, opinions and views on the matter. Everybody has laughed about it. Where this documentary goes completely wrong is the people that are being interviewed. Half of them have no obvious reason to be there, they are just random people. Most of them lack anything interesting to say. Scientifically the documentary offers little. It just a bunch of church-goers talk about farts, which could be fine, if they where anywhere near interesting. Halfway through the laughs are over, as the same footage is used over and over again. The first 20 minutes are interesting and will make the average person laugh, it will invoke reactions, it will draw your attention. But then it all goes to farts and the documentary starts fade and thus, as they say: ..........starts to stink.

This is one of those topics that you either find hilarious, or discussing. I know in my family, it is the former. We can sit around and laugh for hours about farting. The great thing about the film, is you can watch it with the entire family. From the youngest kid, to your grandparents, they will all enjoy it equally. Just don't take it too seriously. It's fun, and you'll have a great conversation afterward.

Well... It's a documentary about farts-about the acceptance(or lack thereof) of one of our bodily functions. It's interesting-for the first 30 minutes and then it just gets old. Now I can say I've seen a film about farting.

I initially thought it was about the summer job at the laundromat but alas! This movie works for about 20 mins. then can it!
