Swearnet

This film is said here to be rated NC-17 and it certainly deserves it. Apart from the fact that there's nudity, it has more uses of the f-word than any other film in history. Well, in the English language at least. It took me a long time to count every one of them. I counted 911, but there were said to be as many as 935. It is rather satisfying to see Carrot Top and Tom Green get beat up.

So besides that, there's not much else to say about this movie. It certainly has its funny moments, but is more or less not very interesting in itself. I couldn't get a feel for these characters or anything. It just seemed to be an excuse to be the most profane movie in history. Obviously, this isn't for people who are easily offended in really any way. The main plot involves a race of some kind, but it's hard to really care. **

Even though this is NOT a Trailer Park Boys movie it IS a Trailer Park Boys movie. The 3 stars of the cult favourite TV series and many of the supporting cast members play "themselves" in this movie about setting up their own TV network so that they won't have to put up with any more censorship. Apparently they REALLY like swearing!

The boys kind of play the same characters that they do in the TPB series but with some differences. For instance "Mike Smith" is a violent, drug and booze fuelled party monster. Pretty much the polar opposite to Bubbles. John Dunsworth shows absolutely nothing of Jim Lahey. Pat Roach is a real hoot as Swearman although "Dickman" might be a more accurate name. He has a pretty good sized role in this and does a good job. Tom Green and Carrot Top are kind of blah in their parts. Tom has an obsession with handing out key-chains and Carrot Top kind of reminds me of the late Joan Rivers in a Ronald McDonald wig. Insert bad plastic surgery joke here.

Over all a darn good movie. It isn't going to win an Oscar but then have you actually watched some of the crap that HAS won an Oscar? If dick jokes, weed, booze and F-bombs turn you off then turn this off. Likewise if you hate the Trailer Park Boys you will hate this. If you like the TPBs then you will like this.

I give it a solid 8 out of 10

Ignoring the fact it was in a way a self promotion for the three( which is understandable considering at first they weren't even paid very well. So they have to make a name for themselves) and it's a self commodity business in a way. Mind you, being a "icon" or "star" is not easy. That being said. I thought the movie was basic, but fun. Made me laugh throughout the whole movie, and maybe that's just me getting their humor, but even with carrot top( no disrespect Tom green) I knew that dude from celebrity death match and so on. I did have some questions though but minor, like how'd the girls come into play? Are they really together like that? Did they really do acid like that? You know just simple questions I'd go on Reddit for. Overall i liked it and if you won't get " offended" I guess about how they do certain things it's a fun watch sober or not. If your a big fan you can appreciate what they do, if you're coming into it cold that's understandable. Take it how you will.

When I first heard of SWEARNET THE MOVIE few years ago I was a bit reticent because despite the score of 6,1 has few reviews with mostly negative scores. But since I am some sort of omniscient half-God that can apparently digest everything, last September I finally had the courage of watching it and, as it progressed, I thought the naysayers must have seen a different movie instead of this one, it was so funny and had a great time.

The movie follows Mike Smith, Robb Wells and John Paul Tremblay that are tired of having their shows cancelled because of censorship. So they have a genius idea of creating their own network free from censorship. They'll end up being shunned from most of their neighbours and long-time friends up until they meet Carrot Top and Tom Green (playing themselves) on a charity event and do lots of crazy stuff such as Carrot going at very high speed, screaming and blowing the horn without reason, Green that insists on giving keychains to everyone up until Smith, Wells and Tremblay get angry and leave, only to make amends and later stage a fight with Carrot and Green and continue their network.

Even at the beginning I knew it was going to be a romp because of the stuff Smith, Wells and Tremblay did on their network, but as Carrot Top and Tom Green (who both have also the honour of putting me likes on Instagram for comments on their posts) it all improved. I don't think to have laughed so hard at a badly reviewed film like I did with this one, but I did thanks mostly to the both of them, they were so funny and great also in referencing their most known movies.

Overall, a great comedy that unfortunately ended up being misunderstood and forgotten but instead is great fun for folks over the age of 20. Not to be missed if you stumble upon it.

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.
