Trailer Park Boys: Don't Legalize It

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!

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 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?

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.

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.
