I love Trailer Park Boys. Maybe it's because I'm Canadian, but I would be a huge fan if I were American too. Each season got better and both movies were sick too. The only Trailer Park Boys thing I did not like was the TV special entitled, "Say Goodnight to the Bad Guys." I Thought it would be awesome because I love the show, the other specials were great, and the DVD cover has just Bubbles on it in a Scarface illustration.
The third instalment in a series of movies is usually said to be the worst. This is one of the rare ones that is the best. Me saying this was the best was an easy decision to make. Other movie series like the Hangover and The Karate Kid had me contemplating which was the best. Luckily, I am not alone in saying this is the best TPB movie. This has a higher rating that the previous two movies on other sites. Do I think this was better than the specials? Yes. Better than the first two movies? Yes. Better than the show? Some yes, some no, some equal. But for the most part, no.
What makes this special is how much it differs from the others by being the most serious and being, somewhat, a monomyth archetype. Ricky lives in a regular house and makes a fortune selling dope. He hears about weed possibly being legalized and decides to head to Ottawa to stop it because he knows it would hurt his business. Julian works with archenemy, Cyrus selling clean urine for people to pass urine tests. They need to go to Moncton, New Brunswick for their latest shipment. Bubbles lives under J-Roc's porch and is unhappy. He receives a will from his deceased parents leaving him their home in Kingston. The boys reunite and hit the road, where betrayals occur and danger follows them. They ultimately learn the true meaning of loyalty and friendship as they must watch each other's backs and do ultimate sacrifices for the greater good.
Friendship and loyalty is a content theme in the show. But since this is 95 minutes, the theme is conveyed in a stronger way and that comes from the heart. The concept of legalizing pot is something every stoner very well supports and would love to see. I am no stoner, but I thought it was done well.
4/4
