Sex Lives of the Potato Men is a British comedy film released in 2004. The film is about the sexual antics of a group of potato delivery men in Birmingham and stars Johnny Vegas and Mackenzie Crook.
Sex Lives of the Potato Men has been called one of the worst films of all time.
The film received extremely negative reviews from film critics. The Times review called it "one of the two most nauseous films ever made" and Christopher Tookey in The Daily Mail called it "the most shamefully inept, witless and repulsive British comedy that I have ever had the misfortune to see". Writer Will Self, writing for The Evening Standard, called it "mirthless, worthless, toothless, useless", while Johnny Vaughan in The Sun stated in his review: "The mind boggles as to how this movie actually got made." Kevin O'Sullivan in The Daily Mirror called it "one of the worst films ever made".Peter Bradshaw in The Guardian wrote, "it's a film which isn't in the slightest bit funny or sexy, and is deeply depressing. It also diminishes the reputation of many excellent TV comics, who are made to look tawdry and naff up there on the big screen in an echoing cinema". Catherine Shoard, in a review of the film in The Sunday Telegraph, stated "It's hard to know what to say to this - it's like finding the right words at a nasty accident... Sex Lives of the Potato Men is probably the lewdest Brit-com since Confessions of a Window Cleaner, and certainly the worst". Shoard also described the film as "Less a film than an appetite suppressant". Ben Davis in the Morning Star later included Sex Lives of the Potato Men on his list of "some of the year's worst films".
