Swearnet: o Filme

Either you think these guys are funny, or you don't. If you do, this is funny. Is it the most hilarious movie ever? No way. Is it lowbrow humor? Totally. But does the idea of watching the guys behind Trailer Park Boys goof around for 90 minutes sound like it might be potentially entertaining? Ok, if you go into it expecting nothing but that, this is probably at least as good as you expect. The plot is incidental, you don't see a movie like this for the story. I laughed out loud several times. It takes some adjustment seeing Mike Smith play himself instead of Bubbles, but once I got over the novelty he probably had the most funny lines of the three of them. Or at least, the most creative curses.

Outside of their Trailer Park Boys characters, Wells, Termblay and Smith play "themselves" as the founders of a new internet channel to host their sophomoric humor uncensored. Unashamedly filled with C-list celebrity cameos from the likes of Tom Green and Carrot Top - this self-produced, ego piece is really just a 112 minute advert for the real Swearnet channel. Some funny moments here and there, but the team's "real life" personas are not as fun to watch as The Trailer Park Boys.

I ADORE the Trailer Park Boys i'll just pin that up before I go into anything. The characters are lovable, the narrative develops nicely and over offers a very interesting aspect and satire to Canadian life.

So what happened with Swearnet: The Movie? I struggled with this film so much. Its hard to watch a bad movie but it's harder to watch a bad movie with actors/writers that you love and have seen produce some great work in the past.

Swearnet:The Movie is the story of Robb Wells, John Paul Tremblay and Mike Smith creation of their own internet network 'Swearnet' and thats the plot in a nutshell. The movie likes to make things very clear that this ISN'T Trailer Park Boys with constant reminders at the beginning and if that wasn't enough perhaps to poor writing and Mike Smiths character would remind you enough. The whole execution of the movie plays out like a 14 year old boys pubescent fantasy. The jokes fall flat, the characters a largely unlikable and development of said characters doesn't exist instead they just switch like a light 3 quarters the way through which again is subject to poor writing. If it isn't enough that their own characters are marginally irritating then they brought in Tom Green and Carrot Top to make things wholly annoying as well as add absolutely nothing to the film. Their really isn't much that can be said about this film than it exists. It is a prime example of how a swearword can loose it's impact after repeated use and just become annoying and after a record breaking 935 F#@k's this has been proved 10 times over. I wouldn't recommend this film to anybody. Even if you're a fan of the Trailer Park Boys I would find anything but this to watch as the only feeling I got after this film finished was embarrassment and general sadness inside, don't get me wrong though their is way worse than this. 3/10

This movie is horrible. I absolutely loved anything TPB but this completely changed my opinion of the actors/writers. What an embarrassment... Why would they ever think this was a good idea?

What's with the Negative reviews? I be like WTF!!!! Apparently you need to have a seriously immature sense of humor to enjoy this movie. And my funny bone is F'd up. But at the same time I can take things very serious when I need to. People need to open their minds and let the inner child out. Truth be told though, of course I like their TPB personas much more. But Swearnet was just plain funny. The cock jokes, the swearing, the substance abuse and the occasional nudity. I too hate censorship. If I could still post it, this review would be filled with swear words and possibly a picture of my cock.
