A very funny movie. If you like the show then you will like the movie. Just seems like a long episode. Look for cameo's by Hugh Dillon(ex Headstones singer, now has his own band and actor in TV/movies) and Gord Downie(from the Tragically Hip).

MCT:July 6, 2008I'm not quite sure why there are two listings for this movie on here, but I digress. Though the film does not do as well standing on its own, I am a long time fan of the series and enjoy the initial short film on which all these shenanigans are based. Anyone who's seen (and has enjoyed) the series, this is a fun diversion. It's certainly not much more than a lengthy episode, but it's worth a look.

Has nothing on the series or the black and white movie but still a very enjoyable watch. Bubbles, Rick and Julian try to get rich by stealing change, hilarity ensues.

Wasn't sure how this could translate to the big screen, but it did and really well. Awesome flick and more sets than the TV show and just a bigger feel to it.

although i am not fun of trailer park boys, i laughed hard; however, i wouldnt watch it again.
no offense, but its kinda typical north american comedy, and second time wouldnt be funny as first time -
MCT:July 6, 2008I WOULD GIVE THIS MORE STARS IF I COULD BECAUSE I LAUGHED MY ASS OFF THROUGH THE HOLE MOVIE I FIND THEY ARE SO STUPID BUT THAT IS WHAT MAKES THE MOVIE.

Hands down, one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Even if you are unfamiliar with the tv series, odds are you will love this movie. Laughable situations and character throughout the entire movie. Ricky and the boys are hysterical!

It's nice to see a Canadian film that is actually entertaining. If you like to laugh, check out this future Canadian classic.

You have to be a fan of the tv show in order to appreciate this movie. I was though disappointed that J-Roc was hardly in it. You know what I am saying!TPBs rule!

A funny movie which lived up to the classic style of Trailer Park Boys. However, there were some factors that just didn't add up and contradicted the series. Still a must see for all devout Trailer Park Boys fans. Those who smoke dope must definetly watch it whilst under the influence for true laughs :)

Best movie ever. But I am probably biased, since I got to be an extra in the flick. Seen it a bunch of times now and laughed just as hard each time.
-
MCT:July 6, 2008A guilty pleasure that isn't really that guilty if you think about it for a few minutes, "Trailer Park Boys" has risen to the level of a cultural institution in Canada over the past decade or so. Despite its reliance on sitcom tropes, the show has genuine artistic chops, from its mockumentary cinematography to its sneaky linguistic jokes to its largely unnoticed cultural specificity (we all may laugh, but Nova Scotians laugh even HARDER)...
I suppose the movie does what it ought to do to spread the gospel of Ricky, Julian and Bubbles to the unaware masses (mainly to those south of the 49th), but for someone who had his fill of the formula back in third season, there wasn't really enough here that was new to fully justify the proceedings. Still, there are plenty of moments of hilarity, particularly from Robb Wells' brilliant motormouth word-mangler Ricky. A few more Lahey shit-metaphors and a little more J-Roc would have been appreciated, mind you... -

This is Canadian content at it's best!!! Excellent television show, and the movie is certainly a huge success for director clattenburg!!!

For those who follow the popular Canadian TV series (like myself), Trailer Park Boys, definately get this movie! Basically it's a story of Ricky, Julian, and Bubbles along with Cory and Trevor decide to pull off one last heist before Ricky gets married to Lucy while outrunning Mr. Lahey, who happens to be an alcoholic and former cop along with his partner Randy, a shirtless, cheeseburger- loving former male prostitute. The results are pure hilarity! Definately check this one out for sure. For those people in the USA who don't get the show or have never seen it- you seriously don't know what you're missing (and it goes to show that we Canadians do know how to make great TV programs- after many years of importing American TV into our homes!)

Classic TPB. Nutty antics ensue. Any movie with a cameo of Gord Downie from the Tragically Hip gets my vote as a great film. I liked the fact that itrs exactly like the show, and didnt get away from that concept in any way.

Ricky: "Suck it Donny!"
Donny: "You suck it Ricky, MORE!"
Ricky: "What the fuck kind of comeback was that? You said the same thing thing that I said, but you just added 'more' to it."
Donny: "No! More! You suck it more!"
It saddens me a little bit that less than 300 Flixsterites have seen this, and far fewer even show interest. Perhaps I shouldn't expect much more from a movie that's probably hard to come by outside of the Great White North, but I consider this to be the best comedy of 2006, so it's a little disheartening to see it fly so low under the radar. Let me set the stage a bit first though, for any new-comers:
In 1999, high school friends Mike Clattenburg, Robb Wells and J.P. Tremblay brought their shtick to the big screen in a very cheap, very indie black and white feature called Trailer Park Boys, that was produced in part by the Showcase television network. It's about two down-and-out petty criminals named Ricky (Wells) and Julian (Tremblay) and follows their hijinx in the Sunnyvale Trailer Park with a pseudo-documentary style -- I've seen that first movie (it ran on IFC one time and I watched it) and it is funny, but a far cry from what the concept would eventually become. Enter Mike Smith, a sound mixer working on the movie who would entertain the crew with improvised bits of a Trailer Park-style character who would eventually be known as Bubbles. Showcase liked what they saw in the movie, and Clattenburg got cracking on turning it into a TV show. His first change? Throwing Smith into the mix, livening up the somewhat heavy (but still funny) Ricky/Julian dynamic by adding a precocious man-child with coke bottle glasses, a squeaky voice and a fondness for kitty-cats. The show debuted in 2001, and recently began its seventh season on Showcase. It's a big hit in Canada (I believe it plays on BBC America in the States, but I'm not sure), and I've seen it a couple times and liked it, but never really became obsessive about it like many who see it do. Thus, while I had heard that I absolutely must see this movie, it was something I planned on getting around to eventually. "What's the rush?" I thought. What a fool I was.
As the movie begins, Ricky, Julian and Bubbles are off to 'work', opening up an ATM. Things are running smoothly (or at least, smoothly by their standards) before the getaway car rolls backwards into a convenience store. One high speed pursuit later (the police giving chase in a "heli-cocksucker", as Bubbles puts it) and Ricky and Julian are back in the clink. 17 months later, they're kicked out of jail a month early to give the guards an advantage in the upcoming prison ball-hockey tournament, each emerging with different ideas on their criminal futures. Ricky is intent on pulling "The Big Dirty" -- that one big job before retirement.
Ricky: "You just have to make sure there's no witnesses, no one to give the cops your prescription. Once they get your prescription, you're fucked!"
Julian, meanwhile, is feeling the winds of change -- just, not that kind of change: untraceable coins, the unjailable crime. But things have changed since they've been away. Ricky's girlfriend Lucy has a new job, a new "look" and potentially, a new man.
Lucy: "I don't love Sonny, Ricky."
Ricky: "I don't love him either. I think he's a fucking dick."
Back at Sunnyvale, ex-cop turned alcoholic park manager Jim Lahey is off the sauce and leading a pretty stress-free life without the boys around, and is hoping to keep it that way. When he cooks the books to show the boys haven't paid up their lot-fees, they have no choice but to pull the Big Dirty and stave off eviction. And that's the plot. It might not sound like much, but the magic is in the details. The dialog is endlessly quotable and every performance is just spot-on excellent. Wells is the clear cut star of the picture, and Smith's sweetness carries the tone, but Tremblay's Julian is the best of the three. He doesn't say much, but both of the movie's villains (prison warden Donny and park manager Lahey) have an unspoken homo-attraction to him which, in a more mainstream movie would be overplayed and groan-wrothy. Clattenburg, thankfully, plays things low-key all the way through, to hilarious effect. And speaking of Lahey, John Dunsworth steals every scene he's in. Watching him devolve back into a full-blown booze-hound after the boys take back the park is an absolute riot.
Lahey: "The shit-hawks are comin', Bubbles! They're flyin' in reeeaaaaaal low."
The documentary style lends itself perfectly to newcomers, allowing for great character exposition that still feels natural. Everyone on cast knows their characters well having played them for years, and the perfectly nuanced performances reflect this well. Fans of the show will revel in the movie's grand scope, and newcomers will find much to fall in love with. It may not be for everyone, but I can't recommend it enough. My favourite comedy of 2006, and what is surely among the greatest slices of entertainment Canada has ever produced.
Lahey: "30 days, boys. Hear that Julian? 30 sexy days..." -
