Terry Cahill and Dean Murdoch are idiot slackers, head-banging best friends in Calgary. Dean is 5 years cancer free and a deadbeat dad. They get evicted and head out to Fort McMurray to make some money. Their friend Tron is dismayed to take them on his work crew. The boys drink and go to the strip club. Terry starts dating barmaid Trish. Dean works the workers' comp angle. His cancer's back to take his other testicle.Other than being a deadbeat dad, the guys have created a great pair of characters. At least, the ex-wife seems at peace with him. They do need somebody to give the production some structure and better comedy. It does ramble around as the story lacks a driving plot. The boys would probably work better as a half hour comedy TV show. They are fun in smaller doses.

Alright, just having seen "Fubar II", I wasn't aware of it being a sequel, as the DVD I got hold of was titled "Fubar: Balls to the Wall". So I am not sure how badly you needed to have seen the first one in order to fully appreciate the sequel.I must say that this particular movie is somewhat of an acquired taste. I had initially expected more comedy from it, but that wasn't to be. The movie did, however, have lots of irony, sarcasm and witty dialogue. Plus the quirky characters really helped the movie along as well.I actually don't think I laughed a single time throughout this entire movie, which is why I am only giving it a 4/10 rating.The story itself was actually decent enough, though bordering on being a bit too extreme. However, what helped make the movie bearable to watch was the quirky extremes of the characters in the movie. The two main characters Terry (played by David Lawrence) and Dean (played by Paul Spence) were like live-action-rendering of Beavis and Butthead. Most funny was the likeness they had to some of the people that I actually know.The movie was nicely shot, great camera work and some really good places and locations used for filming.However, labeled as comedy, but being unable to even bring a smirk to my lips, this movie was somewhat of a disappointment to me. Or as I said earlier, something of an acquired taste - which wasn't particularly my taste, though. I assume you have to have a particular mentality in order to fully appreciate this movie, and I am sure that there is an audience out there for it somewhere, I just am not part of that particular audience.

Deaner & Terry take you on a trip that feels so innocent life..small quanta of happiness.Down the road you start identifying with them and it feels like you are living the movie... kudos for the director who made the movie like a simple running fountain...i mean who needs to be Bill gates if you can live like this...this sequel has added some background music and songs unlike the first one.Only problem is brevity of the movie...cos when you are start to enjoy it, it starts ending on you...and you wish they had made two sequels together so that you could enjoy it a little bit more... all in all, its a magical small trip of carefreeness,and joy.and i am eagerly waiting for next sequel already...

I'm a big fan of the original, so naturally i was quite sceptical going into this film.In a lot of sequels the characters are being exploited for the sake of gags and to disguise a lack of story. in this case it was the opposite, because the story here feels much more prominent and thought through than in part 1, which is a good thing. it took a while to get into at first, but as soon as the 2 start their new job, i really started to enjoy this film. the characters (especially "Tron"), atmosphere, development and especially the finale really drew me in and made me laugh out loud. it also pulls it off to be really funny and a feel-good movie at the same time, without ever feeling forced or cheesy.the "more than a feeling" scene had me in tears (of laughter).not even sure, which one part i like better now - maybe because i've seen the first one too many times already. good job - i give it 7,5 out of 10.
