Trailer Park Boys: Countdown to Liquor Day


Trailer Park Boys: Countdown to Liquor Day brings to an end one of the longest fake documentary shoots ever. After the 6 year run of the well received maritime comedy came to an end in 2008 this big screen extrapolation is probably the last time up for Ricky (Robb Wells), Julian (John Paul Tremblay) and Bubbles (Mike Smith). As usual this one starts with the trio making parole but with different agendas. While Bubbles aspires no further than reuniting with his kitties, Ricky dreams of getting his grade 12 which will open the door for him to do “pretty much anything” and Julian plans to expand his inherited trailer in Sunnyvale into an auto shop thanks to his prison training. Unfortunately Mr Lahey (John Dunsworth) and his assistant and life partner Randy (Patrick Roach) have boarded up their former homes and opened up a shiny new trailer park close by that is perfect in every way except one - no sewer system. To install one he has to make a deal with Julian who will have none of it and stubbornly goes ahead with his expansion plan. When that fails the boys have to pursue other options, all of which are followed by the non stop film crew who also document the clean and sober Lahey as he drifts back into alcoholism and Bulbbles’ trials in reuniting with his cats. Peripheral characters in this movie have dropped off save for J-Roc (Jonathan Torrens) whose wigger persona gets even sharper. Like the previous movie it does stand alone from the cable series but it doesn’t really stand out. It is more of the same however for those jonesing for one more hit off of the TPB’s.
