Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Red and the boys embark on a road trip across the country en route to a duct tape festival in the usa where they intend to win first prize by creating a sculpture made of at least 50% duct tape. Studio: Acorn Media Release Date: 04/29/2003 Starring: Steve Smith Bob Bainborough Run time: 90 minutes Director: Eric Till

Amazon.com:
The cult PBS comedy The Red Green Show stretches into a feature film with Duct Tape Forever, still very much about a batch of underachieving Canadian men and their high church of low expectations, the Possum Lodge. The longtime TV series, starring Steve Smith as flannel-shirted handyman Red Green, makes a comic virtue of Canuck self-parody and universal male ineptness.

"Whenever a man does a dumb thing," says Red, "it's better if he doesn't have an audience." Well, a lot of eyes are on Red, his geeky nephew Harold (Patrick McKenna), and the other boys after a rich man (Richard Fitzpatrick) drives his car into a Possum Lodge sinkhole and sues for damages. The solution: Build a giant, duct tape goose and enter it in a Minnesota contest for cash prizes. Of course. Co-creator Smith re-tools the show's self-deprecating essence and run-on joke about male incompetence into a winning movie. --Tom Keogh

- Not the Same as the TV Show
I have always enjoyed the "Red Green" TV show, which one of the local PBS stations broadcasts once a week. Frankly, I was disappointed in the movie. The concept just didn't translate well to a longer format. Despite an imaginative ending, the movie had little of the zany inventiveness (ie, inventions) of TV.

- Great movie! If...
If you like Canadian humor and you know the hurtles that us men have to deal with in life and can relate to them, then you will love this movie. I suggest watching the TV show on your local public television channel to get to know the character before watching the movie. It's not required, but you might understand more.
Either way, you will enjoy this movie. It is fun, it's clean, and it's easy to relate to.

- Loved the show, not so impressed by the film
Now, I know that you have to have different expectations for a movie than for a TV show, especially one like the Red Green Show. However, I found myself just not that impressed by the film. I think I figured out why... in the movie the writers came up with some external "enemy" (the sheriff and the rich guy) that the men of Possum Lodge must defeat. However, what made the show hilarious was that the men of Possum Lodge were inevitably their OWN worst enemy, with predictable consequences. The film ... Read More

- Kicks a**!
I was never one to sit on the couch and watch hours of television without end, but there was one show that a friend of mine convinced me to watch and soon enough I was hooked! The jokes about marriage, being a man, and duct-tape sweeten my day nomatter how damn bad it is! I thought to myself. These guys are just terrific. They MUST have a movie out! And sure enough, there is! I ordered it from Amazon.com to see what's up, and there is no disappointment!

Overall, the movie is a nice break ... Read More

- Anything Red Green is Gold!
If you like the Red Green crew and you also like classics like Animal House, this is the two joined. Red and Harold are in a race aginst time to save...

It doesn't have all the odd handyman projects and the tidbits of wisdom you fine in the show, which made it seem somehow refreshing.
