[.ca] Trailer Park Boys: The Movie

Excellent Movie With Good Dvd Extras:
If you're a fan of the Trailer Park Boys TV show, you should like this movie just as well. All the characters from the show are here, although the emphasis is on Ricky, Julian & Bubbles, and their plan of pulling off "the Big Dirty," stealing coin change. The format of the movie follows the TV show pretty closely, as the boys & the others are "interviewed" at various parts of the movie giving their angle of the events taking place, but the movie expands on the TV show by going a little further into the back-story of the characters, particularly Ricky & girlfriend Lucy's relationship. But the movie doesn't follow the show exactly; if you watch the show you'll know certain events in the movie don't quite match up with its TV counterpart (they sort of explain that in the amusing featurette by saying the boys are playing themselves in a movie, but that really just creates more questions than it answers). There isn't really anything too different in the movie that they haven't already done in the show, although it's a bit racier and a little slower-paced, but the humour is pretty consistent and downright hilarious at times; while the Canadian references (loonies & toonies, Horton's, etc.) & all-Canadian soundtrack make the movie all the more likeable. What's good too is that the movie is self-contained, it isn't necessary to have seen the show to understand what's going on or to understand the characters, and the ending should leave everyone with a smile on their face. Surprisingly the deleted scenes (over 20 minutes worth) are just as funny if not funnier than what is in the movie; a running gag with Bubbles worrying about a warning Mr. Lahey makes about a certain type of bird is one of the best things on the DVD. There's also a great music video on the DVD featuring "The Big Dirty Band," a Canadian "super-group" featuring members from Rush, Thornley, Three Days Grace, Die Mannequin & the Tea Party. All in all it's an excellent DVD to add to the collection.

I'm a big fan of the show, and this movie definitely wasn't a dissappointment. It was pure gold. If you like the show, it's basically just a long episode. Very good stuff.

Smalltime crime makes the Big Screen! Excellent!:
Anyone who has seen the TV Series will feel the movie does justice to the series, minus Trinity being played by a different actress. There is plenty of boobs, booze, partying and swearing! If you've never watched or only have seen a few episodes of this TV Series, you can still fully enjoy this film as they have made the film such that you don't need to have followed the series to understand most of the show. If your a fan, the movie will be that much better as you'll get the inside jokes. I bought this the day it came out and it was worth every penny! Vive La Canada!
