Thanks Amazon for the late X-Mas gift. I ordered this on 11/20. Got my email today 12/6/06 from Amazon letting me know that it will be shipped 1/7/07. Gee Thanks! At first it was 3 to 4 weeks. Now it says 3 to 5 weeks.
In any case, I have seen this DVD and for any Trailer Park Boys fans its worth it. Very funny! I just wish they were back on in the States again. Damn you BBC!

Love these guys! I can’t get enough of their antics! But this is a must see – I watched it after I had seen all the seasons which made it all the more hysterical!

I highly recommend this DVD. I do not recommend ordering it from Amazon.com., if you want the limited edition with the CONKY FINGER PUPPET. I was sent the regular Dope and Liquor edition, and when I returned it, they sent the same thing back. I again returned it and have not recieved the correct item or a refund in over a month. So it looks like I’m out $14.99 plus S&H. What do you think? Should I continue doing business with Amazon.com. I’m thinking NO.

First off, that sounds like a good plan to make some money Hockey Town Dude. The Boys would be proud, you could make like 10-12 bucks a day from those Ebay Dicks. Not quite enough to keep you in hash, rum and chicken fingers but hey, what’s stealin’ for? Anyways, one of the charms of this TV show that made it such a popular cult favorite is the low-budget, handheld camera technique. Despite the big budget, hollywood production of the movie it still holds all of that Trailer Park Boys charm.
The Boys get oot of jail (kicked oot early, so Ricky can’t play goal in the guards vs. inmates ball hockey tournament) and hatch a plan for The Big Dirty, one last heist that will allow them to retire. They’re all set to steal vast quantities of change .. why change? Duh .. it’s completely untraceable! As can be expected, things don’t go ‘exactly’ as planned and our boys run into trouble with the law.
Another difference between this movie and the show is in the ending. At the center of every TPB plot is a similarly bizarre money-making scheme that goes awry. Of course, the movie is no different but the ending might be a little happier than hardcore TPB fans are accustomed to.
The movie is not canon with the show, you can see a list of a few differences between the movie and the show on wikipedia.
Filmed in beautiful Nova Scotia the cinematography is absolutely amazing. Sets include a trailer park and a prison, I know .. not so beautiful. But a nice, peaceful blue sky sat over many scenes that perfectly fit our Boys’ usually frenetic action (I mean ‘perfectly fit’ in the way that their nice, serene theme music fits them perfectly).
