Synopsis

Sorry, but The Aristocrats is a 18 and over show. We will be checking IDs at the ticket booth.

Comedy veterans and co-creators Penn Jillette and Paul Provenza capitalize on their insider status and invite over 100 of their closet friends (who happen to be some of the biggest names in entertainment, from George Carlin, Whoopi Goldberg, Drew Carey to Gilbert Gottfried, Bob Saget, Eddie Izzard, Paul Reiser and Sarah Silverman) to reminisce, analyze, deconstruct and deliver their own versions of the world's dirtiest joke, an old burlesque routine, too extreme to be performed in public, called "The Aristocrats."

Reviews

"In the wake of everything we've seen on TV and in movies in recent decades, it's amazing that something as harmless as language can still stupefy us. As The Aristocrats demonstrates, there is real humor in the confrontation of taboos."

   - Shawn Levy, Portland Oregonian

"Obscene, disgusting, vulgar and vile, The Aristocrats might be the funniest movie you'll ever see."

   - James Greenberg, The Hollywood Reporter

"At the very least, The Aristocrats provides a survey of some of the best comic minds in the business."

   - Marjorie Baumgarten, Austin Chronicle

"What keeps the film from becoming obnoxiously redundant is the conviviality of the comedians. These are funny people even when they're not telling the joke."

   - Jack Mathews, New York Daily News

"You'll either be screaming with laughter - or be incredibly offended."

   - Lou Lumenick, New York Post
