This
highly
endearing
comedy
concentrated
around
a group
of inhabitants
of a
trailer
park
may
seem
like
it will
deliver
exactly
what
you'd
expect
from
an American
setting
like
this
- however,
while
located
in America,
it is
much
further
North
of the
United
States...
With
all
the
Canadian
clichés
built
into
this
story
of petty
criminals
trying
to make
the
big
score,
what
you
get
is an
hilarious
tale
of totally
amiable
cons
that
are
about
as harmless
as one
of the
characters'
many
kittens.
Based
on the
early-2000s
documentary-style
TV series,
Ricky
is the
leader
of this
less-than-dangerous
pack,
a guy
who
would
actually
stay
in jail
just
to beat
the
annoying
guards
at hockey(!).
But
back
home
(living
in his
car
as his
girlfriend
kicked
him
out),
the
everyday
grind
is one
made
of schemes
and
dreams.
With
his
gang,
they
come
up with
the
most
ridiculous
robbery
plots,
which
includes
stealing
change
(due
to it
being
untraceable
- the
weight
notwithstanding!)
- yet
the
bunch
of numb-skulls
can
hardly
get
that
right.
But,
Ricky
also
wants
to do
things
right,
marry
his
woman
and
get
their
young
daughter
to stop
stealing
barbecues
and
selling
it at
flea
markets
- but
that's
if the
alcoholic
trailer
park
administrator
and
strip
club
owner
(where
Ricky's
girlfriend
works)
don't
make
things
harder.
This
is a
very
different
comedy
with
a range
of very
distinct
characters
finding
themselves
in ridiculous
situations.
A pilot
episode
of the
TV series,
or a
history
of the
characters
from
the
small
to the
big
screen
would've
been
a nice
addition
- in
stead
you
get
squat
in the
extras
department.
