"Knowledge of non-knowledge is power.",
By
This review is from: Fubar 2 [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
This blu-ray is an absolute must for all fans of the original film. You will not be disappointed. Plus, it comes with a bonus disc. Fubar, the original complete film. This was a total surprise to me. I had no idea it was going to be in there. I'm a little bummed that I bought the original film recently, but I'm sure I can gift it away on somebody.5 years after surgery, Deaner is celebrating 5 years of good health. He and Terry are being evicted from their house and during a drunken party, Tron tells them they have jobs waiting in Fort McMurray. Terry and Dean pack up their meager belongings and head to work in the tarsands. The footage of the tarsands is really something else. It looks like a whole other planet. One thing about this movie, you can tell it had a budget this time. There are some really nice looking shots, and the movie itself looks great. The graininess has been replaced by slick production. The documentary style has been mostly dropped in favour of more traditional storytelling, although a few interview segments are scattered within. As with the first Fubar, tragedy must eventually strike. Terry and Dean come to blows over a girl, Trish, who Terry has moved in with. Dean gets some bad news, and Terry gets more unexpected news from Trish. For a while, Fubar II becomes much darker than the first film. Unbelievably, a stroke of scripting genius turns Dean's tragedy into triumph. This ending was as satisfactory as it gets. I ended Fubar II with a huge smile on my face. This sequel does something very unusual. It is funnier than the original, it has more emotion than the original, yet it doesn't copy it. I have to say this is one of the best sequels I've seen. As mentioned the blu-ray comes with a hell of a bonus. The entire original movie is here, so if you haven't seen it, don't be afraid to buy. Other bonuses include a ton of deleted scenes. While some were overly long and you can seen why they were edited, others add to the story and comedy. There were several regarding Dean's illness that might have worked well in the movie. One, "Mixing Meats," was a shorty that just had me howling. Also, like the original film, this one comes with a commentary from Michael Dowse and others. Better though will be the in-character commentary by Terry and Dean. This was a real treat on the original film, and I'm sure this one will be too. I'll check that out next viewing. Pick this up. Just give'r. 5 stars.

Fubar - Pure Genius,
This review is from: Fubar 2 (DVD)
Though different in style and production quality than the first Fubar, it still delivers great laughs and some truly memorable moments. The Christmas in Fort Mac is priceless. An absolute must if you liked the first film.

Just Giv'r a try.,

This review is from: Fubar 2 (DVD)
I thought this movie was better than the first, the budget was bigger and it had a good story with a few different layers. The comedy is great because everyone knows someone like these two. The familiar locale is a plus too, especially for Albertans. I recommend this to anyone with a good sense of humor or anyone who likes to drink beer.
