They could've done WAAYY better actually, had a couple of good actors in the movie (Ron Pearlman) but the movie just seemed so B-ish and the lead chubby kid's acting was horrible. Think he's mentally a bit off tbh.
Not a bad movie. Pretty nuts story. 6.5/10 I said do you speak my language, he just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich. I come from the land down under.
Movie was pretty dang good considering there wasn't a ton of money pumped into it. I'd give it a 7.5/10 They made Brendan Butler a little to fucking obnoxious though.
Im goin to watch this in abit looks funny! Edit: It was actually good 7/10. It had its funny moments, few good actors( Ron Perlman, John McGinley) overall a decent movie and it's a true story! One part i thought was funny was when their in Canada and they get pulled over and the cop tells them "Go to BC" and before walkin away the cop says "meow" haahhah just abit of Supertropper's right there for you.
They should have put a lot more into it. They just did sort of a slide show about how things led them up to be at a certain point. Would have made a better movie if they actually played out the story. But I'm glad I watched it. Watched it with my son, matter of fact. An avid trailer park boys fan.
