I have never (!) seen an episode of TPB. Although I knew what it was, I thought it would be "stupid" humour, so I never bothered. Went to the movie on opening night ... it is an absolute blast! Hilarious! I hope it's as good for die-hard fans of the TV show as it was for me as a newbie.
If people the world over thinks that the TPB are what Canadians are like, that's just fine by me. These guys are truly good people. They appeal to both the typical "chick flick" crowd and the typical "guy flick" crowd (whatever those are). People who think they're too smart to watch "movies like this" will be swept up in the warmth and humour in spite of themselves - and probably learn some new ways to use the word f**k. Half-way through the movie I was already planning when I could go see it again. It's just great. Go see it immediately!
