Lots of reviewers have called this a mockumentary, but that isn't quite the right word. For that category, I think of Spinal Tap, A Mighty Wind, Best in Show, etc. In those movies, the characters are comedic caricatures, gently mocked, hence the mockumentary moniker.
This movie was subtly different. Kenny, the primary character, was consistently portrayed as a decent, hard-working man handling an unpleasant job with grace and a well-deserved sense of humor. Well worth a watch. As others have said, I'm not sure I'll ever look the same again at a portable toilet.
Parts of the movie reminded me of my own late father. He worked hard and had a very prestigious career. But no matter where we traveled, he treated everybody with the same respect, no matter their occupation or status. That's a good lesson to model and quietly pass down to an impressionable young man.
