Starring Ricky, Julian and Bubbles but sadly NOT Cory and Trevor
I had to get that out of the way first off. Apparent squabbles and money matters lead to the omission of two of my favourite characters in the legendary Canadian cast that is Trailer Park Boys. That big bummer aside, we have the second silver screen story concerning everyones pals in the park and this one isn't really breaking any new ground.
The story is irrelevant but for sticklers it concerns some kittens, some weed, some jail and some beat up cars. The production is sloppy and although you could say that the half assed look of it all is simply part of the lore, it sadly does not translate well onto the big screen this time around. The acting was sloppy and the jokes were stale.
That being said, I really enjoyed myself with this one. I mean, really, who cares about production value and performances with these guys. This one note story can be played out several more times and still draw laughs from hardcore fans. Leahy and his spot on drunk guy routine is on the same level as Dudley Moore in the Arthur movies and the gut on Randy is a spectacle to behold. So many other classic staples are in place as well and will surely tickle the funny bone of the fans and even casual first time viewers.
Sometimes you need to take a step back from the gloss and pomp of a Hollywood comedy and just let funny be funny. This movie is a classic case of "if it ain't broke" and to be honest its a welcome change from the Jennifer Aniston and Sandra Bullock schlock that passes for comedies lately. Those are good movie types for all ages and junk but for some good old fashioned outrageous laughs, look no further than your own backyard for the newest in funny Canadian comedy exports. You're welcome world.
Rating 2 3/4 man whores out of 5
