The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

America is one hell of a great country: Only in the United States could a family man and factory worker from the Mid West who writes and records hysterically filthy country songs on the side get a belated chance to really hit his stride at age fifty-three by hooking up with a rock group made up of similarly sick-minded individuals to perform his first concert in front of a live audience following getting laid off from his nine-to-five job. Yep, that's exactly what happens in this delightful documentary, which proves not only to be incredibly funny and entertaining, but also surprisingly moving and uplifting with its affectionate portrait of an amiable regular working class fellow who just happens to have an uncanny knack for "did he just say that?"-type astonishingly crude, lewd, and rude lyrics. Better still, we also get cool interviews with the almighty John Valby (a.k.a Dr. Dirty) and the legendary Clarence Reid (none other than the simply awesome proto-rapper Blowfly) as well as a great soundtrack of choice uproariously vulgar tunes. Plus various music historians toss their own two cents in about the cultural significance of dirty novelty music. And despite the glorious abundance of rampant sidesplitting filth, this documentary somehow manages to be remarkably likable and good-natured. A total hoot.

I saw this documentary at a local film festival with a packed house. I can honestly say it was the only film I saw here in which the audience was giving continuous feedback- through laughter, lots and lots of laughter.If you don't mind a pouring on of uncensored crassness in your life, then Dirty Country is gonna give it to you; give it to you straight up, from behind, sideways, and off the wall. Full of charming vulgarity, Larry Pierce, speaks to the hearts, minds, and well, other regions, through his endearing songs about all-that-is-raunch; verbalizing the thoughts many of us Americans have had at some point in our lives, just thought we would get shot if we said them out loud.There's definitely a few amazing "I can't believe he just said that" moments- and overall, a hilarious documentary that doesn't loose sight of the art of story telling.See it. Grab some friends- but probably not your kids or grandma- and a change of underwear. It will not disappoint.

I thought this movie was awesome. It should screen at every college in America. It makes me see the Midwest in a whole new way. I think Larry's mother says it all when she says, "We all think this stuff,Larry just says it." This film just puts it all out there, and it is ultimately a very inspirational film about sticking with your dreams, and finding out what the world brings your way. A great slice of Americana!Come to think of it, everyone should have at least 1 Larry CD for those late night after parties - kids in bed, and the neighborhood in your garage.I can now say I like some Country Music!!

If you like to laugh and either enjoy country music or enjoy making fun of country music, you will be moved by this film. And by saying "moved" I mean you will probably laugh your ass off. I saw this film at a film festival and really didn't know what to expect and it ended up being a great film going experience... One where you have know expectations and no idea what you're going to see and then you get totally sucked in and have a great time. It's tastefully vulgar and delightfully crass, in the best possible way. Apparently this guy has had a big Trucker fan base and I think he actually is talented, very funny and a perfect subject for a documentary film. My advice, see it, you will have fun. And, oh yeah, put the kids to bed first.
