Shannon Matthews the Musical the Movie

Fan of the dark, smutty and controversial here. If you are, you'll love this. Being a fan of Kunt & The Gang as well as The Kunts I've always been keen to see what they do next and unfortunately couldn't get a ticket to the stage show musical of this album so when the film was announced I was happy and patient and it finally came (no pun intended, or was there?). And whilst there's protestors moaning about this without better things to do, the musical doesn't criticise poor Shannon in any way and I truly hope she's safe and well these days (name change and fostering with support has hopefully protected her) but it really does with her disgusting mother and family and doesn't hold back. If it wasn't true it would actually be shocking but it's all true and is there to be poked fun of hugely! Better to laugh at these things than be shocked I feel. Just like Brass Eye's peadophile episode of course before this. And controversial comedians like Jerry Sadowitz (recently cancelled from Edinburgh bizarrely) and Doug Stanhope and Bill Hicks and Frankie Boyle. It's important to laugh.

And the fact this was low budget, crowd funded too with some slightly bad acting and effects in some places too doesn't deter. If you're a fan you'll love it anyway. If you're new, welcome. If you're just here as you're intrigued I hope you enjoy as much as the wrong uns here all have, we are certain types of people after all. ;)
