You can understand why this television series struck such a chord with Canadian audiences and why the film shot to number one in that country.

Consensus: Trailer Park Boys suffers from its small-screen origins, and its tasteless humor is not for everyone, but it will satisfy fans of the genre.

Reviews for Trailer Park Boys - The Movie
Top CriticVery funny.
10/17/08
Top CriticThe three central characters are an acquired taste, probably by the same fanclub that digs loser/doper comedies like Dumb and Dumber or the terrible Aussie equivalent, You and Your Stupid Mate
10/10/08
Top CriticThe film retains the TV program's balance between its natural warmth and a wonderfully crass sense of fun.
10/17/08
Top CriticThe film aims low but it keeps hitting its mark with hilarious accuracy. The bottom line for a comedy is, does it make you laugh? This one does.
02/03/08
Co-writer/director Mike Clattenburg is right on target with his trio of inept trailer-park criminals.
01/31/08
Trailer Park Boys: The Movie is like a feature-length version of the television sitcom My Name Is Earl, only Canadian -- and not funny.
01/25/08
Top CriticUnfortunately even the most loveable rogues can outstay their welcome; this is a television idea that doesn't go the distance.
10/17/08
Top CriticI envy Canada's health care system, but if Trailer Park Boys: The Movie is any indication, I don't want to be exposed to their network television.
01/11/08
The movie falls apart at the centre. Where it works, brilliantly on occasion, is at the edges.
10/07/06
You don't have to be Canadian or a fan of the TV show to get a kick out of this movie. However, you do have to enjoy drug, alcohol and strip-club humor.
04/04/07
Canada may have a better health care system than ours, but the popularity of the TV show Trailer Park Boys proves that when it comes to low-brow entertainment, they can go lower than Jerry Springer.
01/25/08
Willfully dumb, tasteless and a little depressing.
01/25/08
If the film's release brings more attention to this potential cult classic, then it's done its job.
02/08/08
The entire cast is wonderfully committed and seems to be having a helluva time.
01/31/08
Mostly, the movie's offbeat charm comes from its appropriation of the outrageous antics of US comedies with lowkey Canadiana.
03/15/07
A faithful and funny, entirely scripted, feature-length film version of the videotaped and improvised mockumentary series.
10/06/06
Unlikely to reap success on these shores.
02/01/08
Boys functions swimmingly as both a bigscreen inflation of smallscreen icons and a fairly hilarious stand-alone.
01/25/08
Top CriticIf your idea of humor is spending time with creepy-looking lowlifes who don’t have a brain among them, by all means check out Trailer Park Boys. The rest of you can save your money for better, smarter movies.
