Fubar

Some of the reviews I've seen on here are pretty sad. This I a very low budget film made by a young British writer/director who got off his backside and made a movie. How about some of you 'armchair critics' try doing something with your lives instead of pouring scorn over a group of young film makers learning their trade. Mark Heap Tim Faraday been in high end films but they seemed equally at home and happy in this! Well done Ben Kent!!

"Fubar" (aka "Killer Weekend") was a movie that came into existence without my knowledge, and I happened to stumble upon it by random luck in 2019. And now that I've seen the movie, I can honestly say that the movie will equally silently and unnoticeably return into obscurity.

This movie was bland. Writers Ben Kent and Joel Wilenius attempted to come up with something that would mix horror and comedy, I suppose. But the finished result was one that was mediocre. I can't claim that I was particularly amused with what transpired on the screen and I definitely wasn't laughing. Nor was it enough in the horror lane to actually be interesting enough to watch.

However, I managed to endure "Fubar" to the end, hoping that the movie would pick up along the way and become better. But it just never did, so no thumbs up for director Ben Kent here.

The characters in the movie were bland and you didn't really care much about what happened to them, and that was a terrible blow to the movie, because there definitely was some potential to it.

The storyline of the movie wasn't particularly innovative or overwhelmingly interesting to me, so it only made for a mediocre watching. I sat through it to the end, but I will never watch the movie a second time.

Really enjoyed this movie, laughed out loud a lot. Well acted, liked the relationships between characters especially "Cheese and the Col". Type of movie to stick on with your mates. Doesn't take itself seriously but still well made so easy watching on a chilled afternoon. Will look out for what these guys do next

First things first: this is more fun than it has any right to be. The story is pretty simple. A last fun trip before marriage with the bros ... and the father in law of course as a major part. The dynamic and chemistry is set pretty early on. And while that may sound like cliche (relationships to each other), they all play out nicely.

Actually better than nicely. This is so much fun, I was kind of surprised. It is very well acted, you get many fun moments (especially if you are not easily offended, this is comedy after all and it does not take prisoners - quite literally at times). This was one of the best comedies I saw last year and I can only recommend it - the fun is shining through to the viewer in a big way

This was much better than I expected it to be. While there's not much to get excited about from the dialogue and more jokes hit than miss, the interplay between characters makes up for this as you believe they are a real friend group in over their heads, even if they do settle into the reality of their situation a bit too quickly (but that's true of many, many movies). Keith from The Office and Brian from Spaced carry most of their scenes and hold everything together, and this is balanced out by two strong performances in the antagonist camp in a crowd of otherwise unforgettable baddies.

There's a few strong moments that are genuinely laugh out loud, and that's more than I expected. Best of all is the sub 90 minutes running length, this film does not outstay its welcome. Had they tried to pad the material out to 2 hours, the film would have suffered.
