Synopsis

Terry and Dean are lifelong friends who have grown-up together: shotgunning their first beers, forming their first garage band, and growing the great Canadian mullet known as "hockey hair". Now the lives of these Alberta everymen are brought to the big screen by documentarian Ferral Mitchener in an exploration of the depths of friendship, the fragility of life, growing up gracefully and the art and science of drinking beer like a man.

Console best movie i've ever seen.
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
doctorvalis Special, heartfelt, wonderful. Couple a boneheads with moments of beautiful human depth and relate-ability. It's what I love about Kevin Smith's films when he really gets it right. Enjoyable.What I love about the Canadianness is that even in conflicts there is an underlying politeness and even niceness that I hope to emulate. It's like when kids fight, they have the humanity to forgive and forget in like a minute.Filmed really well as well. Considering the budget they must have had, it is seamlessly wonderful in that you never really feel like 'oh this is a documentary and I'm supposed to forget the camera is a weird thing to be there', you're just there with them in an effortless looking but very difficult way to achieve.
ispry There were a couple of drunken character moments early in this film that gave me some good strong belly laughs but the longer the film went on the less I laughed and the more I just winced, sighed and eventually bailed 30 minutes before the end. I very rarely stop watching a film mid-way, it has to be an especially cringeworthy - almost embarrassing experience for me to turn off early - strangely the last film I watched to provoke an early exit was MacGruber - perhaps it's the mullets. In my opinion, the Fubar producers' choice to inform the audience in the opening credits that the film was a fictional documentary was a bad error on their part and ruined any opportunity they had to successfully dupe the viewer into believing this could possibly be a 'real' documentary. Perhaps there was legal reasons for this admission but even if it had been omitted, the woeful performance of Gordon Skilling as the straight man Farrel would most likely have raised most viewers suspicions as to the truthfulness of what they were watching.The longer I watched this film, the stupider I began to feel, whether it be through some strange osmotic character/viewer transmission or just for the fact that I was continuing to watch a film that proclaimed itself to be a fictional documentary still painfully attempting to pretend to be a documentary. Overall, the whole experience felt like being back in late primary school with a bunch of filmmakers who only had three fingers and yet were still trying to give me a decent Chinese burn. All a bit lame.
pjmaloney the story of two skidbags and their sad lives filled with lots of parties but little popularity. the best part of the film is it isn't about being a skid -- it's about going through a very troubling experience, as seen through the eyes of a skid. imagine joe dirt but funnier and more endearing. how this movie isn't popular across north america is beyond me. terry and dean just give 'er and it's almost impossible for you to not take 'er...
ajrmacle This movie was perfect. Bangers on 10speeds carrying a case of Pilsner in one hand, talking about the murals they'd paint on a black van ("there'd be a lady, with a big f**kin' laser just, y'know, protectin'"), shotgunning beer, and looking like dirtbags. Banger culture at its best. If Christopher Guest and Eugene Levy had a propensity for RATT and incest, this is the mockumentary they would make.
