I was really surprised at how great the movie was compared to the classic TV show. It's probably the best comedy of 2006, and the best Canadian movie of the year too.
The movie is like an extra long episode of the show with all the usual characters plus a few new ones. Jim Lahey is his drunken old self with his assistant/lover trying to get Ricky Julian and Bubbles in trouble.
When Julian gets out of jail, he wants to pull off what he calls 'the big dirty' and commit one last big crime so he can retire. At the same time, Ricky is frustrated with his ex-girlfriend working at a strip club, while Bubbles is concerned for his shed and kitties.
