Product Description
Sex Lives of the Potato Men is a hilarious comedy that takes the concept of gross-out to new heights. The Potato Men, Dave (Johnny Vegas), Ferris (Mackenzie Crook), Tolly (Dominic Coleman) and Jeremy (Mark Gatiss) work for a potato distribution warehouse in Birmingham.
Dave longs for the soft porn lifestyle but he’s married with a kid. But when his wife throws him out, threesomes and group sex become a reality rather than a fantasy. Since his wife left, Ferris has taken full advantage of being young, free and single. But he’s also skint and forced to live with his mother-in-law who asks that her rent be paid in kind! Tolly, on the other hand, has never really recovered from his wife walking out on him. The whole ordeal has left him traumatized and the only way he can find satisfaction is by recreating his most memorable experiences with jam and fish paste sandwiches … Jeremy is the manager of the Potato Men and as such, thinks he’s a bit of a cut above the rest. He claims to enjoy wine, books and chess but in reality spends the majority of his spare time stalking his ex-girlfriend, sending her hate mail and kidnapping her dog. As their antics become ever more outrageous, you can’t help feeling that despite everything, there’s something of the Potato Men in every bloke.

This film was canned by Mark Komode on Radio Five Live when it was released as possibly the worst film of the year. He says that about Pirates of the Carribean and low and behold a common theme is that Mackenzie Crook is in both!!!. I generally heed what Professor Komode says and I had no desire to see this film, until I came across it whilst channel hopping Sky Movies. What a delight and great late night entertainment however!!
I never really liked the Carry on type of films and found the innuendo pointless. This film has no innuendo it leaves nothing to the imagination and it is really a lads film. Saying that my wife laughed as much as I did.
The film follows the pranks and day to day activities of a number of guys who sell potatos. The two main chartacters, Jonny Vegas, who makes me laugh just looking at him, and Mckenzie Crook are a pair of guys who have very different luck in regards to their sexula encounters, one who can't get any and the other who has no morals or standards.
Maybe I like the film because in my youth I knew guys like this, but regardless the film leaves nothing to the imagination.
There are a number of real classic scenes including early on the woman with chronic dandruff serving chips with a coating of the same and`numerous sex`scenes which can't be described here.
Ok its not a great cllassic, but I do defy you to either not laugh or not recognise some of the characters as some guys you know (or ladies to that matter).
Take it for what it is good boardy British Sex Humour and you won't be disappointed.

VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD
This had an atmosphere around it that it was maybe an idea for a TV Show that ended up being a film based as it is on little episodic moments in a linear 'plot'. Seems like an updated take on 'The Confessions of a...' films that were popular in the 60/70's (?) where women greeted the milkman in a flimsy nightie and had some nookie while the husband was at work. Taken in this context it is an amusing reappraisal of sexual mores post-millenium. Also, there is something terribly sad about sleeping on a stock room shelf that touched my funny bone rather more than all the odd sex stuff which some of the older generation could find 'shocking' but I found quite lame. But then I suppose that is the point of the film - the difference between the promise of kinky sex and the grubby reality (reminded me of an episode of The League of Gentlemen in some ways).

This is not a film for the easily offended/politically correct mob, so see it before you dismiss it. There are plenty of jokes about kinky sex, but they are carried off with great artistry by Vegas et al. Also I think this film deserves credit for its commentary on contemporary gender roles: the women are completely liberated and in control; the men are left out in the cold - delivering spuds. In the end though it is a wonderful little film and a fantastic laff.

this was my second choice, and it remains that way.
this DVD was not up to the standard of Rit Sue & Ted too. the prescription was not as clever and the humour was nowhere near the standard. Read more

Excellent film
I watched this years ago and remebered how good it was so I bought it for my collection. This is a very funny film - but only if you have a decent sense of humour.
