Swearnet: The Movie (2014)

Directed by Warren P. Sonoda
Written by Mike Smith, John Paul Tremblay and Robb Wells
Starring Robb Wells, John Paul Tremblay, Mike Smith and Pat Roach

Fed up with being censored in their post-Trailer Park Boys lives, the out of work stars/world-renowned 'swearists', Mike Smith, Robb Wells and John Paul Tremblay decide to start their own uncensored network on the internet.


Designed by the Trailer Park Boys for fans of the Trailer Park Boys, this movie doesn't try to be anything special. In fact, I'm 90% sure it was made specifically to announce the new seasons of "The Trailer Park Boys". It presents exactly what it promises. A lot of swearing and low brow, yet funny humor.

It didn't quite feel like a movie. It felt more like three or four episodes of a show played back to back. Each act ended in a similar manner, much like a sitcom would. Mike Smith would mess things up and then he would make things up by doing something completely selfless, only to go back around and ruin it by doing something selfish. It was quite repetitive.


I am confident that those viewers not familiar with the Canadian show will not enjoy this. To them it will come off as unnecessarily vulgar and depraved. But to those who have watched "The Trailer Park Boys" and are fans of the show, this is more or less the same thing, only the four stars are playing exaggerated versions of themselves. So if you haven't watched the show, stay clear of this movie. If you have, check it out! It's quite entertaining.

My Rating: 6/10
