We Saw A Movie About A Guy With No Balls

Scanner Brian will be reporting from SXSW Film and Music all week.

So, we saw this movie that starts out with a guy getting felt up by an apparent underage girl in a movie theater. Even weirder is what happens next: her father finds them and attacks the guy with a trumpet, landing a ball-busting whack in the nuts. The film that boasts this setup is called Barry Munday and it's the strangest comedy since that one in which someone impregnates Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Barry (Patrick Wilson) is your classic douchebag: he works for Billie Dee Williams at an insurance company and heads to some awful Tiki Hut bar for drinks with a guy who plays air guitar and sports the worst redneck mustache this side of the topless dude from Ghost World. His whole life and personality revolve around his cock (nothing new there), but then he wakes up in the hospital after that run-in with a musical instrument and his testicles have been removed. Of course, it wouldn't be a comedy if we just followed a guy who mopes around complaining about not having his nuts, so throw in Judy Greer in ridiculously-large glasses, claiming he's knocked her up, and you have the beginnings of an off-the-wall kook-fest. From there, the film explores Munday's paradox: he's a male slut with no balls, and now he has to figure out his manhood.

Barry Munday isn't a great film by any means, but it definitely serves its audience well. And seeing as how everyone reading this blog is a total pervert, there's plenty of rewarding material here, including the worst "dude meets his girlfriend's father" garage sitdown ever and a failed attempt to make Greer look unappealing, plus your usual, irresistible Chloe Sevigny seduction scenes (she plays the knocked up girl's tempting sister), and you have yourself some entertainment.
