Review of Trailer Park Boys: Countdown to Liquor Day (2009) by Marc G — 01 Jun 2011

Great sequel to Trailer Park Boys: The Movie. Countdown To Liquor Day is a fine comedy that also signals the end of the popular TV show. The boys return in fine form, and their up to the usual easy money scams.

Countdown To Liquor Day is an improved sequel to the original film, and in many ways a better one. The writers are more confident with the material this time around, and they were able to write a film that is much more entertaining, and funny than the first.

I really enjoyed the first film, but I preferred this sequel because it was a lot funnier than the first, and like I said, it was a better written sequel. The usual things we expect from a TPB film are here and all the zany characters we love are also here.

Ricky, Julian and Bubbles are all as funny as as ever. Countdown To Liquor is a much more accomplished and confident film, and it ends the series on a high note. I expected the film to be good, but not this good.

This is a terrific comedy with plenty of laughs. Filmed in the mockumentary style of the show, Countdown explores new ideas that we never saw on the show.Which I think is one of the movies biggest strengths.

Countdown To Liquor Day is a fine Swan Song to one of the best Canadian shows ever created. Those who love the Trailer Park Boys will definitely enjoy this hilarious sequel.
