Review of Ass Backwards

Ass Backwards (2013)
1/10
A few moments that provoke awkward laughter & female butt shots.
8 November 2013
Warning: Spoilers
I won't attempt to explain the plot or purpose of this "wannabe imitation" of a film but I'll share a few thoughts on what stood out to me.

A brief shot "from behind" of 2 women squatting over a public sidewalk revealing unnecessary ass shots from a distance; releasing a flood of urine. Is that funny? What if it was 2 men in that same position, not erect & urinating? Would that be funny instead? We live in a society ruled by You-Tubers and all their childish antics for easy/forced laughs from viewers willing to laugh at anything.

Which means, most of the dumb gimmicks and/or jokes are recycled. Usually very dry self-serving humor or over the top silly behavior; that always seems to be inside jokes between the writers of this type of film (similar to the skits on Saturday Night Live).

What I never understand is why the so called funniest characters are always written to be clueless idiots throughout, then they have brief moments of clarity as if the writers forgot how stupid the characters were written a moment before writing a new scene.

As I write this "review", I notice the two main characters urinating in public. This 3rd & final time while in a cemetery, they squat directly over the camera and before we can see their privates parts in an extreme close-up; the film CUT TO the end credits. I'm an ass lover myself but it's clear the writers and/or film directors has a fetish/thing for women squatting to pee "always watching" from behind.

I just realized that my little "review" might have you believe this film is something that it is not because of a few scenes that I've described. It's not entertaining and it's not kinky. It's that usual nonsense that's suppose to be funny these days.
