It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

The plot.A group of four men working at a moving company all suffer downfalls, adding to their rough pasts that continue to haunt them. It seems as if none of them will ever accomplish anything in life, and when the moving company starts falling apart, it has a ripple effect and their relationships are the next to go. In order to save the moving company, their relationships and their futures, they must learn how to move forward in life and face their challenges.Made by the guy who originated the brilliant Trailer park Boys.This film is nothing like TPBs. Firstly it's rather slow and very strange.I don't know what to make of it. It threw me for a loop.The movie is more like a deep character study/buddy movie. It was a surprise.I liked it. You might too, but don't expect the TPBs.

When this film was recommended to me, I thought it was going to be a slapstick-laden comedy and I was reluctant to start watching it. The first few minutes seem to confirm my worries, but the film shifted under me and became a heartwarming story about Clyde's reassessment of his life and his attempt to make something better of himself.There's a, well, not so much anti-establishment, but more a tone of not having to accept lousy jobs at lousy wages and lousy working conditions and that sometimes we have to be strong enough and brave enough to branch out into the unknown, cast ourselves free from our safety net of stagnation and try something new.At a point when Clyde's only friendship seems to be coming to an end, there's a definite slant towards showing us that every ending can also be considered a new beginning, and sometimes it's only when life is dark that we can see the light leading us to new things and new experiences.I was worried that the ending might throw me for a loop, but the ending was really good and I enjoyed the film greatly.I would watch this again.

I have NO idea why this is getting a 5.1??? Wtf People?? I watch a ton of movies, and I rarely feel moved to write a review, but I just gotta say, I loved this movie! Will Sasso and Charlie Murphy stole the show, but the rest of the cast did a wonderful job as well. They portrayed a great, loving friendship, it really made the movie. It's one of those movies that,with just a bit of wrong direction,casting and writing, and bad acting, could've easily been a total bomb. Instead, what a treat! NOT a brainless comedy by ANY means (as you may think by the title, cast and basic description), but rather a very warm, well acted, intelligent, and at times, funny little movie. Whilst you may not agree with my 7, you very well may agree it's a good movie, and well worth a watch. Please, give this movie a try.

I thoroughly enjoyed this great little movie. Was not expecting a blockbuster (thank god, especially after the train wreck better known as The Dark Knight Rises), and got exactly what I was hoping for. Witty, endearing and quite enjoyable. WILL SASSO SHOULD WIN AN Oscar FOR THIS!! (kidding). But I can find fewer more pleasant things to do in downtown Toronto on a soggy, muggy summer afternoon. The cast was great and the script, although a bit light, is nonetheless lighthearted. Cheers to cast and director and the great city of Halifax (which I visited once). Look out for a great performance by the doyenne of east coast comedy, Cathy Jones.
