Trailer Park Boys: Don't Legalize 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!

I am just waiting for season 10 to be released. Yes I am from the USA> And the small town I grew up in, in the 1970's, this show reminds me of some of the people I grew up with. I watch the show over and over because it brings back so many funny memories. Yes, there are actually people exactly like Ricky, Juliene and Bubbles.

I liked all their movies. And every season. I am amazed that after all the seasons watching the actors, age, grow-up. etc.. they still can pull it off. I am curious who will still be on set with the next season. Swearnet. Yes. enjoyed that as well. I guess at my age, 53... I am a die hard fan. It is like watching my hometown people from the 70's. Love it. They are coming to Boston. I am curious as to what they do on stage. I will go and take a peek.

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!

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.

When the first anyone ever saw of the trailer park boys debuted as an indie film in 1998, it was a cult comedy hit because it had a formula that worked and was funny - it was a show that constantly broke the 4th wall as a Mockumentary with characters that never changed over it's first few years....then the 2006 movie and season 7 happened. Gone were the cheap cameras. People don't even realize that a camera crew is following them. Trinity isn't a little 9-year old anymore. The show's swearing and blatant sexual innuendos got more & more frequent.

The 2008 special "Say goodnight to the bad guys" came out. it was OK. then the 2009 movie came out. it was OK. Now we have this movie. it was OK.

There's one problem. it wasn't laugh out loud funny enough. it had some moments involving Lahey & Randy in a gas station bathroom, Ricky's Rickyisms that never get old, but the show isn't what it used to be. and sometimes I kind of wish they'd just end the show entirely and look back on what was one of the funniest Canadian comedies ever made rather than trying to make something else up.

So in this one, Life for the boys is all but mixed. Ricky's got a great dope operation in the basement of a house, Julian's working on a plan to deliver urine (that's right, Urine) to Montreal, and Bubbles is struggling to make ends meet by delivering chicken and liquor to trailer park residents. When the word goes out that the Canadian government is about to legalize marijuana, one might think that would make the boys happy, as they can never go to jail again for possession or distribution of illegal narcotics...but if it does become legal, ricky can't sell his dope at the prices he does. So, with his beaten 1975 New Yorker with a blown transmission, He begins a trip down to Ottawa to protest against the government's plans.

Now while I might have criticised this movie, I'm not going to lie. I'm always going to be excited to hang out with the boys again. I'm looking forward to conflicts between lahey and ricky, Julian's odd schemes to make money, and the undeniable charm of bubbles.

Fans of the series, I encourage you to go see the film, You'll have a good time.
