The Trailer Park Boys are more than just a hit in Canada—their eponymous TV series about life in a Nova Scotia trailer park is a phenomenon of South Park–ian proportions. The FAQ on the their website gives an idea of the Boys' target audience: "Are the actors smoking real marijuana on the show?" "What's the best way to courier someone weed?" When TPB: TM starts, the boys are heading home after a stint in jail. Julian (John Paul Tremblay), the brains of the operation, makes an easy transition. Ricky (Robb Wells), with his big heart and even bigger gut, has a harder time: His longtime girlfriend Lucy (LOL, Ricky and Lucy—get it?) has acquired new breasts, courtesy of a new boyfriend. The film follows Ricky's attempt to win her back, and the gang's attempt to pull off the Big Dirty, a legendary and somewhat retarded heist.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.

Here's one 60 year old college educated chick who LOVES TPB. By the way, my 85 year old mother in law loves it too. It's fun, clever, and hilarious. I like theoretical physics but I LOVE my TPB!!!
