DVD Reviews of Trailer Park Boys: Countdown to Liquor Day
DVD Review: Nowhere near as funny as the tv shows---needs more Rick---but still good
Summary: 4 Stars
3.5 stars
Like so many tv shows, this one was at its best in the early stages. I loved the first few seasons but then it started getting a little stale, and the first movie was the weakest link. This one is somewhat better than that, but still a long way from the almost non-stop hilarity of the series' start.
Some of the better characters aren't here, Barb among them, the jokes are fewer and thinner, and above all the plot is just not that hot. The boys are up to hijinks as always, only now those are more serious and less funny. The bank robbery is okay but goes on far too long and just didn't make us laugh much. The same could be said of much of this. There's also too much Juilan and not enough Ricky for my taste. Julian can't compare to Ricky for humor value; no idea why he gets so much time here and the real TPB star gets so little.
In fact, I laughed more at the 34 minutes of deleted scenes than at the whole movie, solely due to the preponderance of Ricky. There's a bunch of great bits featuring him that were deleted but shouldn't have been; they would have been the highlights, especially Ricky's talking his way out of the liquor store robbery. I've no idea why those were excised, as they were classic. But your editor needs changing when the best part of the dvd is the deleted scenes...
All in all, I'd love to jump on the bandwagon and say that every thing these guys do is magic, but it no longer is. The freshness of the early shows is missing here, and it just feels like an overlong tv movie with an ok script. You can almost see them thinking of gags to pull here, but the inspiration is gone. Lahey has his moments, but there's too much of him here. Even Bubbles wears after a while; the cats subplot is almost bereft of humor, and the Bubbles "love interest" side story is just tired.
But, this probably-not-the-last-TPB-episode does have some funny bits, and these guys are so good-natured it's hard to not like anything they do. Yet that's what's really missing for me here: the good-natured fun of the shows. It's all a little bit too serious and heavy, even when it's trying to be funny. Enough with the armed robberies. Give the boys an inheritance! Let them catch a break! Going back to jail just ain't that funny.
If the TPB make another flick, I sure hope they regain some of the spontaneity and goofiness of the first season.
