The film's real accomplishment, in this era of masked superheroes, is making a paladin of a regular guy whose ethics we can all emulate.

Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The Australian charmer Kenny, about a hard-working, jovial employee for a portable toilet company, is a low-key study of underdog pride rather than a Larry the Cable Guy bodily function jokefest.
Crude (in every sense) but surprisingly charming.
A hit and prize winner in Australia, Kenny has the power to charm, no matter which way the water swirls.
The result is a minor masterpiece of tone in Kenny's portrayal of a character that is absurd, guileless and shrewd at the same time.
