Dirty philanthropist

Critic Rating
Reader Rating 0

Kenny is an Aussie rough diamond who delivers Portaloos to events, clears up the sewage afterwards and manages to maintain his equilibrium in a dirty job by being a kind of ragged-trousered philanthropist with a ready wit. You think this is a documentary at first, but it isn't.

Kenny is played by Shane Jacobson, whose brother Clayton directs, which rather spoils the point of the whole thing.

Even so, he invests Kenny with enough charm to sink a cesspool of faeces, and you feel that his eventual romance with a rather more upmarket air hostess is no more than he deserves.

Kenny
Cert: 15
