5.0 out of 5 stars
Very funny!, October 7, 2010
Despite what other reviewers said, I loved this movie. I had no idea what to expect, when I started it, but I laughed so hard I hurt. If you like a good raunchy comedy along the lines of American Pie, or Road Trip, this is a great movie.

Well . . . I almost didn't hate it!, June 29, 2010
This review is from: Sex Lives of the Potato Men [Region 2] (DVD)
First let me say that the only reason I was interested in this film is because Mackenzie Crook is in it. Otherwise, this type of movie would not interest me. That being established, this flick has a reputation for being the 7th worst film ever made! I personally don't think it's that bad.
The script is geared toward teenage boys (I guess). The movie has a lot of talk about sex and some sex scenes, but ironically no nudity. Most of the jokes are crude and pretty pointless. However, I did smile a couple of times particularly when Johnny Vegas's character complains about finding parking when he goes to a sexual get together.
This movie really doesn't have much of a story line. Maybe one of the characters changes for the better, but that's not clearly established. I think toward the film's end, the writers said, "We have to wrap this up. What should we do? Oh, let's have him get back with his wife! Perfect!" Not really perfect, but it was a conclusion.
This was done early in Mackenzie Crook's career. I imagine he doesn't like it referenced, but he's still cute in it. There is one scene where this girl he's with makes him mop the floor dressed in her uniform and that is almost funny.
Also, this DVD is only region 2 so make sure your DVD can play it before you buy it.
