Trailer Park Boys: The Movie, also known as Trailer Park Boys: The Big Dirty and simply Trailer Park Boys, is a 2006 Canadian crime dark comedy film based on the television series Trailer Park Boys. The film follows characters Ricky, Julian and Bubbles creating a plan for The Big Dirty, one last crime that will enable them to retire from their criminal lives. The film, like the series, was directed and produced by Mike Clattenburg, with Ivan Reitman as an executive producer. It was released in Canada on October 6, 2006, and a limited release in the United States began on January 25, 2008. It has developed into a cult film since then.
Julian (John Paul Tremblay) plans to steal money from an automated teller machine (ATM). He gets his two best friends, Ricky (Robb Wells) and Bubbles (Mike Smith) to help him succeed in the operation and get rich. However, the plan does not go accordingly and they are chased by the police. Bubbles runs off and is spared by the cops while Ricky and Julian are arrested and get sent to jail for an 18-month term.
Donny, (Gerry Dee), the jail instructor, kicks Ricky and Julian out of jail 26 days early in order to prevent Ricky from playing goalie for a rival team, giving Donny and his team a chance to win an upcoming jail street hockey tournament. Ricky and Julian are picked up by Bubbles and Ricky's father, Ray (Barrie Dunn) and brought back to Sunnyvale Trailer Park, only to be greeted by the trailer park supervisor Jim Lahey (John Dunsworth) and his shirtless, cheeseburger-loving assistant, Randy (Patrick Roach).
