Watched the first 2/3 of The Aristocrats last night. I had really, really been looking forward to seeing this movie. Who wouldn't be excited to see Hank Azaria, Eddie Izzard, Robin Williams, Eric Idle, Bill Maher, and a horde of other funny people in one film? Needless to say, I'm not impressed, and I somewhat regret watching it at all.

Parts of it were funny and/or a little bit interesting, but good grief there was a lot of swearing. Personally, I think raunchy humor has its place and can be extremely funny, but this movie went way past humor pretty early on. Maybe within 5 or 10 minutes. My wife fell asleep part-way through (she didn't miss much), and I eventually stopped watching to go do something (anything) else.

The next time you're at the video store, skip The Aristocrats. It's just not worth it.
