Review by Bob Ignizio
I’ve seen a lot of weird movies in my time. Weird is kind of
my thing. And I can honestly say I haven’t seen anything quite like BUTT BOY.
Maybe the closest comparison would be DAVE MADE A MAZE, but even that’s
a stretch. It’s perhaps a kindred spirit to Adam Rifkin’s insane cult classic THE
DARK BACKWARD, but while it may be almost as bizarre, BUTT BOY is
decidedly its own movie.
So now that we’ve established what it isn’t, what, exactly,
is BUTT BOY?
Structurally, this film fits in the neo noir/police procedural
genre, with a bit of addiction and recovery drama thrown in. Office worker and
family man Chip Gutchell (Tyler Cornack) discovers during his first ever
prostate exam that he really likes having things inserted in his butt. And as
time goes on, the bigger the better, up to and including small pets and even
babies. He tries to kill himself and fails, but eventually seems to get his
strange compulsion under control through AA meetings.
