Very funny. Full Review |

 |
Unfortunately even the most loveable rogues can outstay their welcome; this is a television idea that doesn't go the distance. Full Review |
||
|
|
The film retains the TV program's balance between its natural warmth and a wonderfully crass sense of fun. Full Review |
||
|
3.5/5 |
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. Full Review |

|
|
The 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 Full Review |

If the film's release brings more attention to this potential cult classic, then it's done its job. Full Review |

|
|
If 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. Full Review |

The 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. Full Review |

|
Unlikely to reap success on these shores. Full Review |
||
|
3/4 |
Co-writer/director Mike Clattenburg is right on target with his trio of inept trailer-park criminals. Full Review |
||
|
|
The entire cast is wonderfully committed and seems to be having a helluva time. Full Review |
||
|
|
Boys functions swimmingly as both a bigscreen inflation of smallscreen icons and a fairly hilarious stand-alone. Full Review |
||
|
1/4 |
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. Full Review |
||
|
1.5/4 |
Willfully dumb, tasteless and a little depressing. Full Review |
||
|
1.5/5 |
Trailer Park Boys: The Movie is like a feature-length version of the television sitcom My Name Is Earl, only Canadian -- and not funny. Full Review |
||
|
|
I'm sure the pot-laced antics of these trashy dudes are, like, totally hilarious on Canadian TV, but they don't translate well to America or the big screen. Full Review |
||
|
2/4 |
I 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. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
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. Full Review |
||
|
|
Mostly, the movie's offbeat charm comes from its appropriation of the outrageous antics of US comedies with lowkey Canadiana. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
The movie falls apart at the centre. Where it works, brilliantly on occasion, is at the edges. Full Review |
