Trailer Park Boys: Countdown to Liquor Day

Wow, I did not have high expectations for the sequel to a movie adaptation of a TV show, but sometimes good writers and hilarious actors come together to make something special. Trailer Park Boys: Countdown to Liquor Day is one of those films that will remain in our DVD collection forever. It's a movie you pull out to watch with friends over and over again because it's so incredibly funny. I've seen it many times and can't get enough of it. I can't for the DVD to be out February 23rd so I can finally own it. Seriously, if you haven't seen this film you're missing out. We all love the Trailer Park Boys (And if you don't start with this movies!) and this is another fine outing for them.

The last time i saw the boys in action, it was November of last year. Ricky, Julian and Bubbles are about to get out of jail, and this time, Julian vows to go straight, even open a legit business. Soon the Boys will all be rich. But when they arrive back at the park, they find it's not the same old Sunnyvale—and it's not the same old Jim Lahey, Trailer Park Supervisor.

Lahey's a new man, hasn't had a drink for two years. And he has plans—BIG PLANS—for Sunnyvale. Too bad for Lahey that Julian stands in his way. Having the Boys back in the park is too much pressure for Lahey to bear. With his big plans for Sunnyvale going down the toilet, and his relationship with Randy broken down, the countdown to liquor day is on for Jim Lahey.

Meanwhile, Julian's having problems of his own. His business fails and the Boys are forced to resort to doing what they know best—breaking the law. Soon Lahey's descent into the liquor coupled with the Boys descent into crime puts them all on a collision course to destruction. Trailer Park Boys: Countdown To Liquor Day 10/10

With instant-classical writers like Mike Clattenburg, JP, Robb, and Mike, it's amazing that just like rock bands, sitcoms, and every other solid-fresh hit that comes up, fame, money, and deadlines, eat away at the beginning of what made them all great. Although, after seeing the 3 live at Jimmy Kimmel's this summer here in L.A., I knew only the audience at the show and some of the fans who tuned in really dug their comedy and it was like seeing the Ramones or U2 in the late '70'S when people would say to each other at a concert, "man these guys are gonna be big". Cyrus, Leahy, Sam, and the others all made them shine and that's what they forgot. The cast makes the stars shine. When they intro'd Phil Collins in the series and he gets hit in Leahy's trailer and burps or when Sam is given mushrooms before he speaks, or even the little one liner's from Ricky like, "This is my pet Crow, Sheryl', delivery and irony is what made them cutting edge. I still can't stop laughing, I mean really laughing, when I even think of JP asking Cory & Trevor, where they got the guys for J-Roc's nightclub, and they say with "straight" faces, "The Empty Closet"...oh man, what timing...But, just Like JP says as he leaves them to go back in the club, "They just don't get it". "Like s**t and strawberry shortcake".

If you liked the television series you will definitely love the movie...the feeling was like this was an extended version of the show but at the same time the show was always entertaining as the movie was ...the charming and the spirit of the series transcends well to the silver screen...the plot like on the show is not the strength of the movie the banter and interaction of the main characters is the strength..Though i was missing the Lucy character and was of the opinion that the movie was a bit weak at the conclusion..I laughed though frequently and was entertained and when one goes to the movies is not that what we want to be and this movie delivers...Long live the Trailer Park Boys...

An 8, but a very solid 8! meaning very good! production values are high, and the story drags just a little in a couple of spots, but overall, it is quite a ride! when was the last time you saw bubbles w/a "love interest"? (never!) lots to enjoy here. lahey (and randy) have never been better. great to see jim in such a non-TPB locale at the beginning and end-the movie is structured very cleverly, bookends and throughout. you'll be entertained from the moment it starts, and doubly when you read "(just) one week earlier..." ; )
