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.
The film was condemned by most film critics for being crude and tasteless. The Times review called it "one of the two most nauseous films ever made"[1] It was also controversial in that nearly £1 million of public money from the National Lottery via the UK Film Council was used to fund the project.
