Trailer Park Boys: The Movie! (2006) (Netflix) If you have never heard of the Trailer Park Boys series, don't feel too bad. (It's Canadian...) The series has a documentary feel to it, and follows a pair of Canadian small-time criminals. The series follows the pair as they live their lives looking for cons in their trailer park with a variety of comical trailer park friends and enemies. One of the running jokes is that you never see Julian (one of the main characters) without a mixed drink in his hand, regardless of the situation. (see pic below, left)
In honor of Julian and the 7 season and 2 feature film run of the Trailer Park Boys, any viewing of any installment from the Trailer Park Boys universe should be seen with a rum & coke (aka the Cuba Libre) in hand.
The rum and coke is commonly made with 1 part rum (usually a light rum) and 2 parts coke mixed over ice. Many people enjoy the addition of lime (lime wedges or lime juice)
Now that the drink is out of the way, let's get to the movie.
Although the movie comes late in the Trailer Park Boys anthology, it was made for theaters and has a separate storyline. The movie jumps right into the action, and if you don't know all the characters' back-stories, it may take awhile for everything to come together. This movie covers a huge range of life; from the lows like prison life, crime, and alcoholism, to the highs like love, friendship, and alcoholism. However, because of the characters' background; a Canadian trailer park; the scenes and situations may not be that relate-able, but still very laughable. Just like the last film, I wouldn't recommend watching this movie with your mother. There is language, sexual content and drugs. But really, what did you expect from a movie whose main characters are felons?
I hope you made your drink, because you're going to want to watch the rest of the series after watching this movie, and you need sustenance. Here's a taste of the series without giving away any serious spoilers:

I still wonder where you find these movies. Keep it up, and do the one you told me about soon! I'll be adding this movie to my watch list, looks hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of this movie but rum and coke does sound good. I have to go find me a copy of this movie and then maybe I'll have to check out the series afterward.
