Sex Lives of the Potato Men (2003)
Director: Andy Humphries
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
The repetition of the expressions 'fanny juice', 'pork sword' and 'beef curtains' will, of course, render you helpless with laughter... Potato delivery men Vegas and Crook have kinky sex with a string of Birmingham scrubbers, but rarely seem to enjoy themselves. Meanwhile their boss is stalking a former girlfriend, while a colleague consumes fish sandwiches to remind him of the personal fragrance of his ex. This boastfully pushes the boundaries of taste, but lacks either wit or skill - much like the lads-on-the-lash it's aimed at. One suspects, however, that even they will find their own antics much funnier.Author: ASm
