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 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.

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!

Review: I find this to be a rather interesting and very funny concept especially now because we are not that far removed from the scenario offered in this movie due to the legalization of weed in Ontario. This movie is especially relevant now with our legalization coming up and with people trying to stop the legalization of weed. The direction and screenplay are both really good. Both the casting and acting are really good also. All in all I would give this five out of a possible five stars.

I have watched everything Trailer Park Boys, but this movie until last night. I have been searching for it and finally found it on Roku.

If you don't know the back story on them, I could see how you dislike it. You would watch at least all the seaons or at least half to get the idea of the show/boys.

I 100% recommdn this movie and believe its very underrated. The story line just fits in sooo well with everything else they have done.

Either way, a true fan of the Sunnyvale Trailer Park. Just remember, don't let the dope go to your head, and always keep those greasy cheeseburger funds topped up!
