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

5.0 out of 5 stars Trailer Park Boys Movie got everything right, April 8, 2007

By	Phil Collins "Phil 'Dirty Burger' Collins" - See all my reviews

This review is from: TRAILER PARK BOYS THE MOVIE (DVD)

First off, that sounds like a good plan to make some money Hockey Town Dude. The Boys would be proud, you could make like 10-12 bucks a day from those Ebay Dicks. Not quite enough to keep you in hash, rum and chicken fingers but hey, what's stealin' for? Anyways, one of the charms of this TV show that made it such a popular cult favorite is the low-budget, handheld camera technique. Despite the big budget, hollywood production of the movie it still holds all of that Trailer Park Boys charm.

The Boys get oot of jail (kicked oot early, so Ricky can't play goal in the guards vs. inmates ball hockey tournament) and hatch a plan for The Big Dirty, one last heist that will allow them to retire. They're all set to steal vast quantities of change .. why change? Duh .. it's completely untraceable! As can be expected, things don't go 'exactly' as planned and our boys run into trouble with the law.

Another difference between this movie and the show is in the ending. At the center of every TPB plot is a similarly bizarre money-making scheme that goes awry. Of course, the movie is no different but the ending might be a little happier than hardcore TPB fans are accustomed to.

The movie is not canon with the show, you can see a list of a few differences between the movie and the show on wikipedia.

Filmed in beautiful Nova Scotia the cinematography is absolutely amazing. Sets include a trailer park and a prison, I know .. not so beautiful. But a nice, peaceful blue sky sat over many scenes that perfectly fit our Boys' usually frenetic action (I mean 'perfectly fit' in the way that their nice, serene theme music fits them perfectly). ;)

Overall, I thought the movie struck a good balance. TPB fans should enjoy it and first time viewers won't have to know the show to enjoy the movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very funny movie, September 25, 2008

By	Helen Sullivan "video queen" (SF Bay Area) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
