So committed to playing its absurd premise completely straight that it actually works on its own terms, never once feeling like a so bad its good guilty pleasure.

| Original Score: 7/10 | May 13, 2022

This is a police-procedural deadpan horror-comedy that aims to scratch every itch that it can. This is an imaginative and surreal dive into the subconscious, and you can handle it.

In leaning heavily into the idea of playing the premise straight, Butt Boy finds itself as even more of a one-joke movie than it already was.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 20, 2020

I think I like "Butt Boy," though I'm not entirely sure. It's definitely a curious sight to behold.

| Original Score: B- | Jun 25, 2020

Butt Boy strikes a rare and masterful balance of humor and tension, making it a unique and effective film-going experience.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 25, 2020

It touches on addiction, compulsion, career emptiness and, at its heart, loneliness...

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 16, 2020

Butt Boy is not bizarre enough to embrace the weird and truly become the genuinely oddball film that I can recommend wholeheartedly.

No one should be that desperate, so if your evening comes down to choosing between another film and this one, you should probably avoid this number two option.

Writer-director Tyler Cornack and co-writer Ryan Koch have created a tale of fetishes and obsession, but draped it within a gumshoe driven mystery which is keenly aware of its campy roots.

The colonic tonic we've been waiting for.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 26, 2020

You may not be able to believe what the one-of-a-kind detective-thriller/horror-satire Butt Boy is actually about - but [it might be] one of the best films of 2020. Seriously.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Apr 25, 2020

If you're like me, and you adore absurd cinema, then BUTT BOY is a must watch.

| Apr 23, 2020

Instead of a gross-out gag fest, Butt Boy is a surprisingly tender bizarro comedy that works because it plays the strangeness straight.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 23, 2020

It may seem like a completely absurd, "bad on purpose" exploitation flick, but Butt Boy has some genuine pathos at its core.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Apr 21, 2020

I've never been happier for a filmmaker to just finally be so firmly up his own ass. Butt Boy can't really live up to the wildness of its premise, but it makes for entertaining viewing in its own right.

| Apr 20, 2020

Believe it or not, Butt Boy isn't just a silly, ridiculous thriller about a man and his love of shoving things into his rear, it is, for lack of a better term, much deeper than that.

| Original Score: B | Apr 20, 2020

Butt Boy isn't the worst film of 2020 - but it won't be far from the bottom.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Apr 20, 2020

If your sense of humor favors stupid ideas done smartly... "Butt Boy" offers pleasures that aren't even all that guilt-inducing.

| Apr 17, 2020

The execution of Butt Boy is a little like holding court with a one-of-a-kind dirty joke but pausing constantly to insist it's not a joke.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 16, 2020

With that much ambition on display, the movie leaves an impression reminiscent of the high-minded "Key & Peele" sketches that paved the way for Jordan Peele to become a master filmmaker.
