billcr12 For Howard Stern to be repulsed by a movie, you know that you're in for something special. Vulgar is the proper title for this work, which features a clown being gang raped. Kevin Smith produced this stomach churning work. Will makes a living as a birthday clown at kids parties, when he comes up with the idea to expand into the world of bachelor parties. He dresses in lingerie and strips to garters to fool the client into believing that he is gay. One day, while walking in his strange outfit, he is brutally assaulted by a guy and his two sons. They videotape the attack and warn him not to go to the police or they will embarrass him with the tape. He later rescues a kid and becomes the hero clown on the news. As a result, he gets a TV show, and his rapists extort him for money, while holding the tape over his head. He sets up a meeting in order to resolve the issue, and it leads to a silly ending. Bad acting and camera work make Vulgar a waste of time.

mpanderson81 This movie is a piece of crap on a crap cracker sprinkled in turd dust. Total garbage...that's all. If you like gay clown rape porn this is for you....really people this is not art in my humble opinion, it is just trash. I watched this film about 6 years ago and still to this day every now and then it crosses my mind like a bad memory, because that is what it is....in fact I got up tonight because I was laying in bed and the thought of this movie ran through my mind. I could not remember the name of it and for some reason I wanted to and at the same time I was hating the fact that it bothered me that I couldn't remember it (OCD). Well, I get up and get on here and I am shocked at all the people that actually enjoyed the film...whats to enjoy about clown incest rape soft core porn and especially to label it as a respectable movie? I have seen much worse and wont list the films out of fear somebody will go watch them, but really I just don't get the attraction to the film especially after one has viewed it. It just leaves a sickening feeling....watch next somebody will say "thats art" - well, keep it if this it was passes for art.

Fido Max Kevin Smith made "Clerks" on low budget with a little help from his friends. That movie became a hit, and smith earn a cult reputation with it. Smith has to be a nice guy, because then he helped few Jersey friends with their projects. One of that friends was Brian Johnson, and his project was named "Vulgar".People are using words like original, shocking, vulgar, violent for this movie. And they are pretty right, but I add just one more – very bad.Brian O'Halloran who's not a great actor to begin with, plays Will – blunderer, who works as clown at children parties. He doesn't earn a lot of money, he drives old ramshackle car, and live in a hovel, when everyday he can be beaten by his neighbors. This movie starts like avenger comedy and goes from there in direction not many movies have a courage to go. It ends like pulp fiction drama.The problem is – this movie isn't comedy, this movie isn't drama, this movie doesn't know what it is, and most important the director doesn't know what moves makes a good movie, he doesn't even got the clue. At the end it taste like "bad acid-trip" that tries to be rip-off of "one of the pulp fiction rape story". Its not the idea is total rubbish, it had potential, but execution is so bad its almost depressing.The one shining thing in this mess is of course Kevin Smith, playing gay TV-producer, he is really funny, and maybe Lewkowitz playing pretty scary villain. But thats about it. All of the stuff here, cinematography, editing, story are BAD, a not M.Jackson kind of Bad.Just one conclusion at the end – responsible for this mess is no one else but Kevin Smith, because sometimes helping your friends can lead to creating a really smelly monster. So shame on you Smith, shame on you.

jnh3 Of course this picture isn't for everybody, neither is Robert Flaherty's "Louisana Story" or Bunuel's "An Andalusian Dog" but that doesn't circumvent the importance of this little movie in what I call "the Kevin Smith" Film Movement." O'Halloran's Flappy is twice as haunting when we remember his continuing presence in all the other Kevin Smith pictures. O'Halloran ceases to be "that guy" and becomes a guy with a horror story with true Jersey universality. Though "Vulgar" was released after "Dogma," Jason Mewes looks much younger. I posit that this movie is Bryan Johnson's (another Kevin Smith troupe member, obviously with a story to tell) labor of love-- shot at a time earlier and laboriously assembled over years. Expect familiar faces from the Kevin Smith universe taking center stage and gripping you with their nightmare. Did I mention the villains? No? To know this father and two-son team is to... really be loved by them but I don't want to be a spoiler.A grade of A + for gunshot wounds, I have to say it. All in all, "Vulgar" is a must-own for any serious Kevin Smith collector. This is a picture for romantics, poets and classic Christians. Classic Christians know a grace note when it bites them in the ass, the rest of the herd doesn't know what I'm talking about. "Vulgar," after all, is all about grace.John Huff, Director, "Cyxork 7"
