THE ARISTOCRATS (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0436078/)
http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/movie/gallery/10004943/photo_01.jpg
Comedy veterans and co-creators Penn Jillette and Paul Provenza capitalize on their insider status and invite over 100 of their closest friends, (who happen to be some of the biggest names in entertainment, from George Carlin, Whoopi Goldberg, Drew Carey to Gilbert Gottfried, Bob Saget, 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". One of the smash hits of the 2005 Sundance film festival, this star-studded comedy extravaganza, which celebrates the art of improvisation and the finest (and most foul-mouthed) traditions of stand-up, is sure to stretch the limits of its audience, particularly for how loud and long they can laugh.
Release date: July 29, 2005 (NYC/LA)
Early reviews: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/aristocrats/
Trailer: http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/the_aristocrats.html
Being a big big fan of stand-up comedy, I'm really looking forward to this one. It's going to be great to see scores of comic legends put their own spin on one joke. Looking at the full cast and crew page on IMDB, I'm most looking forward to -- Lewis Black, George Carlin, Billy Connolly, Susie Essman, Eric Idle, Eddie Izzard, Richard Lewis, Bill Maher, Michael McKean, Kevin Nealon, Andy Richter, Chris Rock, Bob Saget, Harry Shearer, Jon Stewart and Steven Wright.
