Peter Howell Toronto Star A very funny movie. Rated: 3/5 May 29, 2002 Full Review Paul Dale The List The gloriously stupid levels of debauchery reached in this film will have a strange resonance for anyone who lived through the Thatcherite bedsit stinkfest that was pre-Acid House Britain. Rated: 3/5 Apr 18, 2019 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 2/5 Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Matthew Turner ViewLondon Rated: 2/5 May 22, 2004 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall The comedy is so bone-dry that it hardly feels funny at all. But it is. Kind of. Rated: 2.5/5 May 20, 2004 Full Review Barry Robison Film Threat I couldn't help but feel the wasted potential of this slapstick comedy.

dave s Fubar falls into that grey zone of something that you want to love but just can't quite get over the hump. It's a mockumentary that follows the drunken exploits of a pair of headbangers from Calgary, one of whom is dealing with testicular cancer. Despite the subject matter, there are some laughs along the way but after you've seen an impaired man-child fall into a bush for the tenth time things start to feel a bit stale. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Made me laugh a lot, though it probably would have worked better as a short film; sometimes the gag gets a little tiresome. I kind of hated the director character (in a bad way, he was annoying and the actor was very unconvincing, especially in a mockumentary) but his presence did lead to one hilarious smash cut. It's all dumb as hell, but pretty entertaining. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Mock documentary on two metalheads lacking direction. Certainly has its moments, such as the dynamic with old friend 'Tron', and these are characters that you can probably relate to. Seemed to go a bit off track with the cancer subplot and the untimely death of the producer/director. Memorable for its unofficial endorsement of Old Style Pilsner beer. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member A Lot Of Heart & Some Spectacularly Tragic Moments. But Not Enough To Keep Me Glue-Eyed On What Will Possibly Happen Next!? Credit For Low-Budget Thrills..Nothing Much Else. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Just fuckin' give'r man. FUBAR is kind of brilliant. It's a stupid, lowbrow, white trash comedy with a surprisingly deep and unsettling undertone. The performances are natural, the laughs are hard and the emotions are real. Love it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member There's debatably little point to the film and I can see how this could be very irritating to some but it's a very funny and surprisingly heartfelt mockumentary about to twenty something burnouts who drink beer all day. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
