With tons of beer, drugs, and women, Fubar 2 turns down the suck and turns up the outrageous off-the-wall humour way beyond what the original delivered.
After a wild and crazy party to celebrate Dean (Paul Spence) being five years healthy from testicular cancer, Terry (David Lawrence) and Dean look toward their old pal Tron (Anderw Sparacino) to hook up them up with jobs in Fort McMurray.
In their new environment, Terry falls in love with the large waitress Trish (Terra Hazleton), who is considered everyone’s girlfriend. With all of the money Terry is making, Terry gets in way over his head by spoiling his newfound love; buying a new truck, T.V. and diamond necklace, just a few of Trish’s desires. Trish’s greed and her lust for sex causes friction between Terry and Dean—with Terry passed out, and Dean watching porn, Trish goes over to Dean with the hungry for sex written all over her face.
Dean stays true to his uncivilized ways, while Terry is blindly content with keeping Trish happy. Dean reiterates by crashing Terry’s pad, gets in a bloody knife fight with Terry, unleashes raw feces from his bowels into Terry’s dryer and has Tron weld ‘WHALE HUNTER’ on Terry’s truck.
With his lack of work ethic, Dean and Tron conspire to get worker’s comp by injuring Dean. Their plan backfires, as Dean discovers his health is much worse than a broken foot.
This film is jammed-packed with ridiculous yet funny scenes; chain sawing down a burning house, stealing a hitchhicker’s weed, getting into a debate about what a ‘cunt’ really is, hunting a turkey with a crossbow, were just a few of their insane adventures.
If you liked Fubar you’re going to love Fubar 2. Easily the best Canadian comedy of the year and one of the best comedies out there today. A few tender moments, but mainly a raunchy, violent and hilarious thrill ride.
