Undescribable Perfection

A different way of telling a story

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Where did I read that this movie was going to be a tour de force gorefest? Maybe I was just dreaming that. I could've sworn 'Vulgar' was going to live up to its title, like a Marian Dora film or something. I've seen more intense episodes of FBI - SVU than this nonsense.'Vulgar' was just really all around nonsense. The clown's mother is ridiculous. The clown is ridiculous. His pathetic friend is ridiculous. The crazy father and his two crazy sons are ridiculous. And I actually didn't mind that if there was a good payoff in the end. There wasn't. It was more like sleeping with a hooker, and just when you're ready to spew like a volcano, someone comes knocking on the door and interrupts the moment. The ending was like that. A complete letdown.Save your time. Save Your Money. Save Your Sanity.

Sorry, but I don't agree with the people here. The acting was diabolical, it was like porn movie acting, it was terrible.I fell asleep through it, it wasn't gripping, it wasn't impressive, it was a badly acted, thrown together film. and even though I had fallen asleep, it was like I had watched the whole thing, very apt there is torture in this film as it was torture for me to watch it.This was referred to me by a friend, who incidentally had never seen it, but read reviews, possibly on here, where the gushing kissing of asses is so evident.The lead actor is terrible, he cannot act, in fact none of them can act, Suplee does what he does best, plays weirdos and Mewes is doing the same role as usual, it's the sort of film that had been written in a day and then filmed over two days, it is that bad.If you are an artsy fartsy type, then you may like this film, or you may just say you like the film to make yourself appear cultured, but you are only fooling yourself. Don't believe the hype.A film about a violent sexual assault and I fell asleep, well it says it all doesn't it?

Will (Brian O'Halloran) is a struggling artist, who loves to entertained the kids as a clown. Since Will is down on his luck, he thinks posing as an adult party clown for entertainment like Bachelor Party or others thinks it's a good idea to make extra money. When Will finds himself raped and beaten by a middle-aged low life (Jerry Lewkowitz) and his two sons (Ethan Suplee & Matthew Maher). Will has suffered badly but slowly his luck changed... when he saves the life of a little girl from being hostage. Will's dreams starts to come true, he becomes an local celebrity in his hometown and he gets to host his own children program. But the people, who raped Will came back to ruined him and Will has no choice to fight back.Written and Directed by Bryan Johnson made an fascinating adult/black comedy that is serious half of the time and it is also occasionally disturbing. O'Halloran gives an sympathetic performance. This is a well made independent film that looks true to life and it is ugly to look at. First-Time Filmmaker Johnson keeps this feature fairly straight but sometimes his film-making style is sloppy occasionally.DVD has an good grainy anamorphic Widescreen (1.78:1) transfer and an fine Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. DVD includes an informative often hilarious commentary track by actor/executive producer:Kevin Smith, actor/co-editor/executive producer:Scott Mosier, actor:O'Halloran, actor/writer/director:Johnson and producer:Monica Hampton. Some viewers might find this enjoyable commentary track better than the movie. DVD also includes an featurette on Kevin Smith's Dogma!, Introduction to the Deleted Scenes with the Filmmakers and more. "Vulgar" is not for everyone, it is not the greatest independent artwork flick but is is a fairly good film. Fans of Smith's film-making work as a director or producer will certainly enjoy this one. (*** 1/2 out of *****).

...but awfully close to it. you know what other "dark" and "controversial" movies have that this one didn't? a point....oh! and good acting. though i guess i wouldn't have minded the teleprompter-ish quality to the dialogue if what was on the teleprompters weren't so retarded.also it might have helped if the sound were actually synchronized to the image, but maybe that's just me being picky.wow, this movie was bad.-f
