Bad Boy Bubby

Australia

Odd, often offensive film. They took the same idea as Being There and changed the tone from funny and satirical to coarse and scatological. 

Bubby is a thirty year old innocent/naif who ventures out into the mean streets of Sidney after having been kept closeted by his trashy mother. His signature schtick is to repeat whatever anyone says to him in another context which leads to violence, misunderstanding, etc. He hooks up with a punk band where his meaningless non sequiturs are taken for profound.

Some funny moments here but a lot of asinine ones too. Said to be a cult film but mainly suitable for twelve year olds.
