Reprobates rule in Trailer Park Boys: The Movie, a feature version of the popular comedy series about serious losers Ricky (Robb Wells) and Julian (John Paul Tremblay), trailer park trash who can't survive a day without planning the ultimate heist. As the film begins, Ricky is living out of his car and planning a quick and easy theft of an ATM. Naturally, it goes terribly wrong, as with every other scam and felony set into motion in this winning satire about life on the bottom of the food chain. Wells and Tremblay are superb (sometimes brilliant) as their no-apology and bizarrely prideful characters, who occasionally fall out with one another but remain loyal, even during ball hockey sessions in the slammer. Very funny stuff. --Tom Keogh

 Much Needed Good T.V. Comedy in the U.S. January 5, 2009
Lunat (California)
Reluctant at first to see it then WHAM!! I was laughing the whole film. We've now purchased all seasons of the DVDs and it is truly funny to no end. We are Gen-X professionals and don't smoke pot, but the humor and antics of all the characters is thoroughly entertaining and comedic. If you like South Park (as we do!) you'll GET it with this series. Someone please bring it to the U.S. It would be perfect for HBO or Showtime (Comedy Central would have to bleep out too much of the dialogue).
Bubbles: "Ricky, these kitties aren't supposed to smell like smoke. They're supposed to smell like kitties...they're free range kitties."
 Some of the Best! December 24, 2008

Some of the best humor has come out of Canada (Saturday Night Live Players)...and Trailer Park Boys is more of that goofy fun.
Gorgeously shot with very lovable Canucks December 4, 2008

I'm always the first to flinch whenever the term "white tr*sh" is used, but I accidentally stumbled upon this movie, and it was all I hoped Rhett Ellis's novella "The Greatest White Trash Love Story Ever Told" to be.
There is joy, crime, a lot of booze, smoking, trailers, strip joints, a gang of colorful characters, and some unexpected sweet moments of tenderness.
I was wondering about the quirky comedy timing that struck a note of familiarity, and the moment I saw the prisoners playing hockey (using lunch trays as protective shields and gallon milk jugs as hocky masks) it immediately became apparent this is no American prison.
Ricky and Julian are Halifax trailer park buddies who land in prison after a heist that begins with an ATM machine and ends with...a backseat full of cartons of cigarettes. They get educated in the brick and learn about "the Big Dirty," that one job that will retire their career as criminals. In characteristic downsizing that is a necessity in trailer park living, the duo downsizes their version of the Big Dirty into something even less substantial than ATM machines. Along the way Ricky tries to regain the interest of his girlfriend, who strays to become a stripper while he was in the joint, while Julian falls in love with another stripper. All this while the gang has to deal with an evil trailer park supervisor who is a former cop. As the story goes on, it becomes apparent that Ricky is more obsessed with returning to prison to head his cell mates' hockey team against that of the prison guards'.
Julian, with his ubiquitous glass of rum and coke (I actually have friends like that) and Ricky, with hilarious pompadour make a good and convincing team for a reason: they are childhood friends in real life as well. Throw in the entire gang (many who have been involved in each other's projects in the past) and you get a solid rapport behind the TV series that led to this movie.
The film is also shot in beautiful 16mm color film, interspersed with handhelds, resulting in something that is a cross between Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers and some of William Eggleston's most sublime moments on dye transfer.
Fans of Canadian comedy (who can ever forget Boys in the Hall?) will definitely have a good feel for this film. As for the rest of the folks who insist that art can only be measured using classic literature as a yardstick, they will do well to note that which the canon of Western literature itself has mined for comical and dramatic material over hundreds of years: the color and richness of the human story in the nether regions of society.
Very funny movie September 25, 2008

Trailer Park Boys is the story about some lovable losers. The characters are taken from a popular Canadian sitcom. I have to check out whether any of the TV shows are available on dvd. If you prefer to watch shows like "My Name is Earl" or "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" or even "Seinfield" than shows about wealthy people like "Dallas" or the upwardly mobile like "Friends", try this out. These are basically non-violent petty criminals just trying to take care of their friends and families, their cats, and pay for their bad habits like cigarettes, booze and "weed." And they are so inept at it, that they are constantly in trouble.
