DVD Review: "Trailer Park Boys: The Movie" (2007)

In the epitome of the word "rental", if you've seen about three episodes of the Canadian show on which this flick is based, you'll have seen this entire thing already. To wit: the fellas get out of jail, Ricky tries to set things right with Lucy, Julian tries to come up with a foolproof get-rich quick scheme, Cory and Trevor screw things up, Bubbles starts wheezing a lot, and Lahey gets drunk as the local cops come to the park for what ends up being no good reason. Of course, other characters are in the background like Ray, Randy, Barb, Sarah and J-Roc, just like you'd expect, but altogether, this flick, just like the show it is based on, is a pretty stale affair that deserved a much better script. Big ups for the soundtrack, though, which includes Canadian rock luminaries like Helix, Rough Trade, Platinum Blonde and the Northern Pikes.

Overall rating: 5/10
