It isn't really necessary to watch the series before this movie but it helps. If you already know the characters from the series it's just funnier and easier to appreciate this movie. The humor (sometimes subtle) is repetitive but that's what made that show great. Watching John Paul Tremblay holding his everlasting glass of liquor, witnessing how the dumb mind of Robb Wells works, looking at the strangeness of Mike Smith, or the akward relationship between John Dunsworth and Patrick Roach, it's all something we were used to in the series so nothing new in this movie, but it is still damn entertaining. You have to have a special sense of humor but if you do Trailer Park Boys is always a blast to watch.

The trailer park boys began as just Ricky and Julian. originally, Julian was supposed to die in 5 days after talking to a phone psychic. he wanted to get those last 5 days on videotape. 10 years later, that camera crew still followed him around, all the way up to liquor day.

After spending 2 years in jail, Ricky, Julian and bubbles all come back to Sunnyvale and discover it is in ruins, and that Mr. lahey has opened up a new trailer park. the boys' plans; Julian wants to go legit by opening a car garage, Ricky wants to get his grade 12 and be the leader, and bubbles just wants his kitties back after lahey barricaded the kitty door on his shed. but soon all these plans are compromised, and like always, the boys plans always fall through.

I laughed at the few parts in the movie theatre, and it was certainly better than the big dirty (which was a major disappointment.) because it had what the trailer park boys are known for; pure comic genius. more of the boys, less of Lucy's boobs.

Also, i'd like to point out this is the last trailer park boys show we're gonna see. so after this, no more Ricky, Julian, and bubbles.

i recommend you wait to rent this one. wasting 10 bucks on a big screen and 10 more for drinks and popcorn doesn't feel worth it, but unless you're a hardcore fan like i am, then go see it while the theatres still have it.

8/10

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..." ; )
