At the local mutliplex last friday I caught a glimpse of the poster for Trailer Park Boys 2 in the lobby. Not the magnificence of the one-sheet to the left, but rather simply a kitty wearing coke-bottle glasses, the iconic pair worn by known cat lover, Bubbles, in the cult Canadian TV show The Trailer Park Boys. The mockumentary comedy managed to air for seven seasons up here in the Great White North and because a pop culture hit, spawning a couple of TV specials and a feature film produced by Ivan Reitman. The first film was a disaster because they pretty much threw continuity out the window in an attempt to cultivate a wider audience. Apparently lessons have been learned and Trailer Park Boys 2: Countdown to Liqourday has gone more the Serenity route. Wrap up the TV show with a coup de grace feature!
I am not clear how familiar US audiences are with this show, I believe in a strange round-about way it aired in the US on BBC America. Maybe bleeped maybe not. The trailer (tucked under the seat) is borderline NSFW though as a key seen involves some high-speed urination. You have been warned.
Trailer Park Boys 2 opens wide in Canada on on September 25, but if you happen to be in Halifax on September 17th, it is premiering the Atlantic Film Festival.
