Storyline

Big-shot executive Robert Stiles' car is damaged when parked at the lodge. Stiles takes Red Green and the other lodge members to court, forcing them to come up with $10,000 in damages in ten days - or else lose their beloved Possum Lodge. 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. Unfortunately, Stiles has bought off a crooked sheriff who intends to make the trip very difficult for Red...

User Reviews

Lovably stupid ...........

It's hard not to like the lovably stupid characters in this lovably stupid movie. Do not expect to increase your knowledge about duct tape. in fact do not expect to increase your knowledge about anything. Instead, put your brain on auto pilot, and simply go with the flow. "Duct Tape Forever" is the type of movie that makes you feel good because your existence is less pathetic than the Possum Lodge losers. The idea to raise $10,000 to save the lodge comes down to either entering a duct tape contest or perhaps selling road kill on the internet. You get the idea immediately that you will not be witnessing great cinema, but the giant duct tape goose is intriguing, and several of the scenes quite funny. - MERK
