What to Know

Critics 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.

Jim Schembri The Age (Australia) Very funny. Rated: 3/5 Oct 17, 2008 Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Unlikely to reap success on these shores. Feb 1, 2008 Full Review John Anderson Newsday Co-writer/director Mike Clattenburg is right on target with his trio of inept trailer-park criminals. Rated: 3/4 Jan 31, 2008 Full Review Jason Di Rosso MovieTime, ABC Radio National Unfortunately even the most loveable rogues can outstay their welcome; this is a television idea that doesn't go the distance. Oct 17, 2008 Full Review FILMINK (Australia) The film retains the TV program's balance between its natural warmth and a wonderfully crass sense of fun. Oct 17, 2008 Full Review Margaret Pomeranz At the Movies (Australia) 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.

Nol P Well overall I did enjoy this one and I finally watched yesterday! Some very funny moments and I look forward to seeing the sequels now too. Was perfect for down time at our rental cabin after we could go back into the cabin as wow it was way too hot in there during day time hrs! This became a nice fun choice and 3 of 5 stars. Worthy watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/09/24 Full Review Audience Member So underrated, Good humor, hilarious and a bit fast paced at the same time, and a good plot twists and story throughout. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is funny straight off the bat. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member If the critics don't like a movie then SEE IT IMMEDIATELY because it's bound to be a great film - just like this one. I'm a fan of the show and everything else these guys do and the movie took it to a whole new level. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Great movie starring the same people as the TV show. Disclaimer if you loved the tv show you will love this tv show and forget about all it's flaws. Me personally I love the show and I was hyped for this movie. It feels like a longer episode with a better budget. Thank goodness for Netflix having all the trailer park boys stuff and man this movie is great. Tons of people asked me what order I should watch this whole series in. And I would not start with the movie because it could potentially have a bad taste in your mouth but after watching the show and all the specials I would recommend to watch it after but only if you loved the show like me. To be frank this is not a fantastic movie but it's great to me because I want more Julian, Ricky, and bubbles. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Now "Trailer Park Boys" Is 1 Of The Shows I've Recently Got Into. And Even Though Their Jokes Are Repetitive & Crude, Etc., I Seem To Really Enjoy The Show's Formula & Enjoy The Characters, Who Seem Fuckin' Memorable To Me. But Were People Really THAT Confident In A Show That Has The Same Formula Every Time? I Mean, Did "Trailer Park Boys" REALLY Warrant A Full-Length Movie? I Mean, The Story's Bland: Ricky Tries To Get His Love Lucy. Meanwhile, On The Plus-Side, We Get The Good Stuff From The Show As We See Our Trio Planning What They Call 'The Big Dirty', A Final Crime That Would Enable Them To Retire From Their Criminal Lives. Now Again, I Love The Show. But Was The Show THAT Big To Spawn A Movie? I Suppose Not. It All Just Feels Like 1 Giant TV Pilot. But From My Standpoint, I'm Still Glad I Saw It. Again, The Story Is Nothing Original, But The Formula Of The Show Is Still There. Unless You're A Fan Of The Show, Chances Are You Might Not Like It; Things Tend To Get Boring By The Last Half. But Otherwise I Think We Know What To Expect. So, Yeah. "Trailer Park Boys: The Movie" Gives Me Not Much To Say, For I Got What I Expected. It Gives What It Promises. I Don't Think There Was Enough 'Hoopla' To Make A Movie Out Of Our Boys From The Trailer Park Though. The Jokes Are An Acquired Taste, The Dialogue Is Pretty Blunt, But It Overall Makes A Decent Type Of Popcorn Movie. I Enjoyed It Fine, & I Don't Mind Watching It Again.
