Trailer Park Boys: Don't Legalize It

For relativelylate in the TPB game, this is pretty durn good.... all the movies are either good or very good, the specials run from very good to great (not the live stuff, which is tough after the first 30 mins. usually; but the filmed "bookends" w/the live stuff are always very good)

but i digress.... nice to see the boys in a different environment; the production values/film quality are high, and the story moves along at a nice clip. it has a slight "toned down" feel compared w/other more manic TPB stuff, but that doesn't really hurt it. some of the things towards the end don't make perfect sense - is ricky lobbying to legalize pot cuz it's "good," or not to, cuz it'll hurt his business? - and they wrap things up quickly w/randy oddly back in their good graces, but these are minor quibbles

if you're a fan, you'll love it, of course. if you're new to TPB, you could do worse than to start w/one of their movies, including this one

I was the biggest Trailer Park Boys fan ever.I forced everyone I know to watch the show and created many new fans.Now that I have said that, this is not a good movie.It's just not funny.The best joke is that Bubble's parents lived in a school bus, even though it doesn't make any sense.They tried to end this series with season six and they were so right.Everything since then has gotten progressively worse.I just saw their live show on Monday and didn't laugh once.But I can't blame the guys, the fans have caused this.The fans refuse to accept these guys doing anything else so they are forced to keep this up.I would suggest only hardcore fans see this but who else would even know about it?

..just got back from seeing the latest effort from Clattenberg and company..

If you are already a fan of the Trailer Park Boys, then you'll enjoy this flick. It is always fun spending time with these characters..

This movie actually plays out with the feel of a mini-season of the series... You have an overall arc similar to how each season of the show played out.. At the start the boys and the gang are all in one place, and then they have an adventure where, at the end of it all, some folks are in jail while others prosper. I don't want to give too much away, but if the word is true that there will be a new season of the show on NETFLIX, then i think this film does a good job of laying the groundwork for it..

As usual Robb Wells and Mike Smith steal the show.. Wells has some classic Ricky moments and soliloquies, while Smith's Bubbles brings the heart and soul to the show.

Good effort, boys!

First off, I want to say that THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT A MOVIE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE SHOW AND THE CHARACTERS. The movie is clearly geared towards fans of the show and it really makes no effort to introduce the characters and existing side-plots. I can definitely see how sam-victoria did not find the movie to be funny or entertaining at all and I can agree that if you haven't seen the show before (or any of the previous movies), you may as well not waste your time jumping right into this movie - you simply will not understand much of what's going on.

Now that I have vented, I can tell you that for the fans of the show and the people who have gotten to know and love the characters - GO SEE IT RIGHT NOW IF YOU HAVEN'T YET!

I watched it last night in Toronto. I won't spoil any plot points because the film is surprisingly unpredictable in how it progresses. The movie had the cinema howling from the first frame until the final credits. I had originally feared that the actors would look too old to play these characters. But with these guys, the worse you look the more convincing you are. They were all phenomenal. What I liked most about the movie is that they focused on making it more like the show again. There way more "interview" segments in this film than in the first film "The Movie". And they did away with the gritty cynicism of the 2nd one ("Countdown to Liquor Day"). All in all, I thought this movie was perfect for this lifelong Trailer Park Boys fan. I actually can't wait to see it again.
