The film retains the TV program's balance between its natural warmth and a wonderfully crass sense of fun.

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.

The entire cast is wonderfully committed and seems to be having a helluva time.

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.

A meandering, extra-long episode of the gem-like trash TV series, with all the heart, profanity and stupidity we expect.

Co-writer/director Mike Clattenburg is right on target with his trio of inept trailer-park criminals.

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

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.

Mostly, the movie's offbeat charm comes from its appropriation of the outrageous antics of US comedies with lowkey Canadiana.

A faithful and funny, entirely scripted, feature-length film version of the videotaped and improvised mockumentary series.

Boys functions swimmingly as both a bigscreen inflation of smallscreen icons and a fairly hilarious stand-alone.

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

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.

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.

Unfortunately even the most loveable rogues can outstay their welcome; this is a television idea that doesn't go the distance.

Trailer Park Boys: The Movie is like a feature-length version of the television sitcom My Name Is Earl, only Canadian -- and not funny.

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.

Willfully dumb, tasteless and a little depressing.
