5.0 out of 5 stars This film isn't vulgar, December 16, 2004

By	S. Stopper "A viewer" (New Joisey) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Vulgar (Unrated Edition) (DVD)

It seems that a lot of people are missing the point of this film. It isn't exploiting rape and violence. It's giving the viewer a close look at the horror and shame of being the victim. The film doesn't dwell on the attack, but looks at what happens next. There is a bit of fun and silly stuff in it too, just like life.....but then we are caught off-guard.
Maybe the problem is that everyone expected the Kevin Smith "formula", which is great fun, and probably the reason we all watched this to begin with. But this is very different.
I think it was a very brave human study and I hope Bryan Johnson has more for us.
Just remember...Nobody said it was a comedy!
And Kevin....thanks for helping with this!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard to watch, but REALLY worth it., August 28, 2003

By	Lori Veeneman (Olympia Fields, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Vulgar (Unrated Edition) (DVD)

I feel Vulgar is a MASTERPIECE, even though it made me sick. I have never thought about a movie as much as I thought about Vulgar. In Vulgar, I never knew what to expect, it was very unpredictable.

I originally got the movie because it had Kevin Smith's name on it (I love his movies), however, be warned this movie is nothing like Kevin Smith's movies, it is in a class all by itself. I have to say Vulgar is my FAVORITE movie. It made me think a lot about society, crime, our justice system, and revenge. This movie changed me in a way I can't describe and I recommend it to anyone over the age of 18.

3.0 out of 5 stars wow!, March 2, 2005

By	J. Irps "krazejjklown" (sparta) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Vulgar (Unrated Edition) (DVD)

what an unusual movie. this is one of those movies that you cannot unerase in your mind. uneasy and uncomfortable. i have to give props to the producers for putting this one out, but i know not many people will watch this or recommend this. i watched it once and that is enough for me.

what to say about this, a clown doesn't make enough money so he creates a gig to go to bachelor parties a gag but ends up getting raped by rednecks reminescent of the ones from deliverance. there is a very sick rape scene in this. i don't want to give much away for the plot, so i will leave it at that. the tension in vulgar is thick enough to cut with a knife. it also isn't for the light hearted. the sound is crappy, but it is low budget so what was i expecting.

overall, this isn't a comedy. there a few parts that might be slightly funny from an extremely morbid point of view, but not what i expected "from the producers of clerks and dogma" as stamped on the package. that should have been left off. it is totally misleading. check this out only if you want to watch something different and unexpected and you are pretty much ready for anything.
