If you haven’t seen Michael Dowse’s “2002” mock-doc “Fubar,” you should rectify that situation immediately. The film, and now certifiable cult classic, followed Terry (David Lawrence) and Dean (Paul Spence), two life-long friends and hosers as they guided audiences through their everyday lives.
Well, we’re set to get more of their misadventures when the film premieres as part of the Midnight Madness schedule at the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival. As usual, expect the plot to be thin, the hijinks to plenty and the laughs to be hard. While the rest of the world may have to wait a bit for the film, Canadians will get to see it when it hits theaters on Oct. 1. In the first clip to hit the web, you’ll witness the danger of letting people know that you’re having an eviction party.

It is time to once again “Turn up the good, turn down the suck,” as headbanger relics and lifelong friends Dean (Paul Spence) and Terry (Dave Lawrence) are re-united for more mullet mayhem in Fubar II. Director Michael Dowse has returned to the world of his 2002 instant cult hit to check in on the lives of this motley pair of metalheads in Alberta, only to find that Old Lady Responsibility is tugging on their ears and dragging them into the world of respectable employment and domesticity.
Following a celebration of Dean’s five years of being nut-cancer free, which turns into a fiery eviction party, the boys realize they’re weary of constantly trying to give’r while barely scraping by. When their old buddy and party leader, Tron (Andrew Sparacino), promises to hook them up with jobs on the pipelines in Fort McMurray, they jump into their ’86 Cutlass Supreme – the trunk precariously overloaded with a flat of Pilsner – and head to the Mac in search of sweet cash.
After donning hard hats and coveralls, the lads are soon rolling in dough and good times, but life in the Mac takes very different turns for the two pals. Flush with money and confidence, Terry meets Trish (Terra Hazelton), a local waitress, and things get serious in a hurry. Meanwhile, holding down a job, shotgunning beers and playing with his band “Night Seeker” begins to catch up with Dean.
