5.0 out of 5 stars More Cheers, More Beers - That's it, that's all, January 13, 2003

This review is from: Fubar (DVD)

FUBAR is by far the funniest movie I have seen in a long, long time. The film chronicals the seemingly mundane expoits of Terry Cahill and Dean Murdoch, two idiotic headbangers whose existance apparently is based on shot-gunning Pilsner, swearing, and just given'er. Documentary film director Farrel Mitchner follows our heros into the depths of a world most of us could never dream of.

I especially loved the scene where they party in High River, where you can't tell who's an actor and who isn't. The locals certainly fit right in with Terry and Dean.

What is surprising to me is that it has taken this long for an authoritative film on Headbangers to be made. Chances are you went to high school with guys like this and this movie shows you what they're probably up to post-graduation, if they made it that far.

This movie won't make you stop and think, nor will it make you question your place in the world. It will however give you one of the best laughs you've had in a long time. The DVD has some great extra features and I especially enjoyed the director's commentary and deleted scenes. It's well worth owning as you will want to watch it over and over.

Best line: "As it stands right now, plan B is just to keep on given'er."

5.0 out of 5 stars Terry & Deaner: Canada's Answer to Spinal Tap, April 21, 2005

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Fubar (DVD)

I feel as though every Canadian University student should go through atleast one serious FUBAR stage, wherein they must:

1. duct tape all injuries
2. "shotgun"
3. collect imported beers (such as Heineken and Corona)
4. nickname a friend "TRON", and
5. regularly yell: "turn down the suck" and/or "______ funkin' blows"

It's a rite of passage. My phase lasted 3 months.

Seriously though, this movie is hilarious. If you haven't seen it, you should - especially if you're Canadian. I haven't seen a more quotable movie since the Big Lebowski!

4.0 out of 5 stars This doesn't funkin' blow, February 28, 2005

By 

Trebla "funkin_blow" (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fubar (DVD)

While the production value of the film is limited, the story (for anyone who's spent their childhood in Canada or the Midwest for that matter) is compelling. This is, in fact, a mockumentary but it keeps a fairly good tongue-in-cheek tone throughout.

The performances by the main leads (Spence and Lawrence) are solid, and the filmmaker does a great job of being unlikeable until his (spoiler) demise.

The most cherished scenes are certainly the description of the van (and its female "protector") and the late night partying around the campfire.

However, the best performance is by the doctor, who, as it turns out, really is the director's doctor.

Sounds and clips can be found at the director's website: www.michaeldowse.com. He's coming out with a new film that should follow gracefully in FUBAR'S footsteps: IT'S ALL GONE PETE TONG and stars the main FUBAR guys (and the Doctor!).

All in all, a good romp.
