Trailer Park Boys: The Movie — лишь небольшой кусок вселенной трейлерпарка Саннивейл, придуманной тремя школьными друзьями из Новой Шотландии.

Вы наверно видели хоть раз отрывки из популярных на западе реалити-шоу в духе: «один день из жизни патрульного полицейского». Теперь представьте, что в центре внимания не образцовые бобби в отглаженной форме, а два абсолютно антисоциальных типа, зарабатывающих на жизнь толканием травы местной шпане и оказанием населению услуг по умерщвлению надоедливой соседской живности. Имитация документальных съемок настолько правдоподобна, что через пять минут вы всецело погружаетесь в это реалити-шоу о нелегких криминальных буднях парней из трейлер-парка. Съемочная группа трех-четырех человек ловит каждый миг жизни Рикки и Джулиана и всюду следует за ними, откровенно раздражая своими видеокамерами местный электорат.
