best movie i've ever seen.
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
This movie is horrible. I absolutely loved anything TPB but this completely changed my opinion of the actors/writers. What an embarrassment... Why would they ever think this was a good idea?
Outside of their Trailer Park Boys characters, Wells, Termblay and Smith play "themselves" as the founders of a new internet channel to host their sophomoric humor uncensored. Unashamedly filled with C-list celebrity cameos from the likes of Tom Green and Carrot Top, this self-produced, ego piece is really just a 112 minute advert for the real Swearnet channel. Some funny moments here and there, but the team's "real life" personas are not as fun to watch as The Trailer Park Boys.
I ADORE the Trailer Park Boys i'll just pin that up before I go into anything. The characters are lovable, the narrative develops nicely and over offers a very interesting aspect and satire to Canadian life. So what happened with Swearnet: The Movie? I struggled with this film so much. Its hard to watch a bad movie but it's harder to watch a bad movie with actors/writers that you love and have seen produce some great work in the past. Swearnet:The Movie is the story of Robb Wells, John Paul Tremblay and Mike Smith creation of their own internet network 'Swearnet' and thats the plot in a nutshell. The movie likes to make things very clear that this ISN'T Trailer Park Boys with constant reminders at the beginning and if that wasn't enough perhaps to poor writing and Mike Smiths character would remind you enough. The whole execution of the movie plays out like a 14 year old boys pubescent fantasy. The jokes fall flat, the characters a largely unlikable and development of said characters doesn't exist instead they just switch like a light 3 quarters the way through which again is subject to poor writing. If it isn't enough that their own characters are marginally irritating then they brought in Tom Green and Carrot Top to make things wholly annoying as well as add absolutely nothing to the film. Their really isn't much that can be said about this film than it exists. It is a prime example of how a swearword can loose it's impact after repeated use and just become annoying and after a record breaking 935 F#@k's this has been proved 10 times over. I wouldn't recommend this film to anybody. Even if you're a fan of the Trailer Park Boys I would find anything but this to watch as the only feeling I got after this film finished was embarrassment and general sadness inside, don't get me wrong though their is way worse than this. 3/10
I haven't seen a single episode of the Trailer Park Boys and went into Swearnet knowing only little about the 3 Canadian goofballs - Robb Wells, John Paul Tremblay and Mike Smith. Coming out of Swearnet, I can confidently say I am a fan! Although in this flick, the boys play "themselves" and not their fictional characters from the TV show, the push-the-envelope humour and brisk pacing of the film showed a lot of heart amongst the consistent comedy. The movie was well-cast overall and although the Tom Green - Carrot Top bit got slightly too much at times, everyone played their parts wonderfully. Well shot and directed, you're sure in for a good time. A nice way to spend 100 minutes in the cinema. I'm looking forward to hitting up the Trailer Park Boys TV show next!
