Editorial Review:

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

5 out of 5 stars Anything Red Green is Gold!.......2007-05-28

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.

5 out of 5 stars SIDE-SPLITTING FUN!.......2007-05-17

More of the gange at the "Moose Lodges" slap stick humor through various antics. Halarious good fun that will keep you rolling on the floor and your sides sore from laughing so hard. OH MY GOSH!!!

1 out of 5 stars Oh my god . . . .......2007-04-29

Okay, I work nights for a good part of the year (tax accountant), and my local PBS station runs two episodes of Red Green every night at 10PM, and I think I've seen nearly every one of the 300 episodes, I practically lived with Steve Smith's creation. So, like you, being a fan of the show, I thought this was probably marginal and somewhat predictable, but I figured I'd show my appreciation and put a nickel in his pocket.

So, having done so, I'd like to talk to all the middle aged guys out there who are fans of the show. Do not watch this DVD. Not ever. You want to give Steve a few bucks? Fine. Buy a coffee mug off his website or something. My copy went straight from the DVD player to the trash bin, I don't even want to own it, much less ever disgrace my memory of Possum Lodge with this . . . goose by watching it again. It's that bad, it really is. Take your stick off the ice and bash this DVD with it.

3 out of 5 stars Red Green's Duct Tape Forever.......2007-04-22

As funny as the TV series. Warning - the DVD is promoted as providing 1.85:1 aspect ratio, ideal for widescreen HD TVs, but the image size is inexplicably reduced in size and does not fill the screen, leaving an annoying letterbox frame on all sides. The DVD does not provide any setup options to correct this.

Purchased this for my friend's little brothers, who have discovered this show just recently. It was an instant hit & we all enjoyed watching the shows.
