a movie not for the faint of heart or sensitive

We went to see aristocrats this weekend and let me verify that every warning you have heard, (or may not have heard but I am telling you now), is true. Just the warning on the theatre ticket window stating that if you left within the first 30 minutes, you could get your money back, was enough insentive for Laura and I to say "lets see it!"
This movie, or documentary is about a joke that has been circulating between comics for years and years, and each comic adds their own spin on the joke itself. The first line of the joke is the same, and the "punchline" is the same, but the journey each comedian takes you on is where the real part of the joke lies and how each comic has their own personality embedded in the tale.
This is by far the raunchiest, foul, discusting, offensive and yet very funny in a "cult" sort of way tale you will hear.
I dont really know if I would recommend it to anyone, but if you are curious and thick skinned, go satisfy your curiousity just to say you saw it. It's just not the kind of movie/documentary that you would recommend to others, though it is very funny in parts. It is more a informational that you just have to see for yourself if you dare.

I'm a little worried myself, but after reading your review, especially the sentence above, the movie sounds very appealing to me.

My husband and I loved it, but yes, it is not for everyone!
