When an evil land baron's limo falls into a sinkhole outside Possum Lodge, lodge leader Red Green (Steve Smith) is ordered to pay the baron $10,000 or lose his beloved lodge forever. Red considers various money-making schemes concocted by his buddies, but it's his nerdy nephew Harold who hits on an idea that just might save their wood-smoked bacon: a duct-tape sculpture contest in Minneapolis that offers a $10,000 third-place prize.
The saddest thing about Duct Tape Forever is the fact that it's a sign of the direction commercial Canadian cinema is going: cheap comedies with name-brand appeal.
The series' good-natured, self-deprecating extended joke about male regression, handyman incompetence and Canadian humility are here in big-screen proportions, and it all works very well.
Smith forgot to include any of the subtle, language-based comedy that marked his career as an author and stand-up comedian, so that all we're left with are obvious sight gags and laborious moments of slapstick carnage.
Charming movie, as only the Canadians can do. Based on the "Red Green" television show. I like Steve Smith's character. It's dorky but got a lot of heart. They should've had a love interest for Red Green in this movie.
as much as I love Red Green, I have to say the show is much better than this movie. though it has its moments of undeniable hilarity, it's just no match for the off-beat segmented brilliance that is the Red Green Show. for a low-budget movie, though , it's still extremely clever and surprisingly well-made.
definitely recommended for the true fans.
