The sequel heads up to Fort Mac as Terry and Dean get high-paying oil jobs. This time, the mockumentary aspect is gone, it's just a regular movie.
On equal footing with the original, maybe even better. There's much more happening with the characters this time, a few unexpected twists, but still maintaining that headbanger attitude. Just give'r a chance, if you liked the first, you'll like this too!

Being a big fan of the original FUBAR (2002), I was surprised to find out that there was a sequel released all the way back in 2010 that I hadn't heard of.
After watching this, I'm conflicted: I'm glad I watched it, and I', glad they were able to get it made and released, but it's a hell of a lot darker than I expected. Now, if you go and re-watch 2002's FUBAR (if you need to), you'll realize it may be darker at times, than you remembered, but this went a bit farther. Did that ruin it for me? No, not really, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I had expected to - but that's probably on me. I was glad to see Terry and Deaner back on the screen, for sure, and there were a few points that made me laugh out loud, as a well as a surprise or two.

I'm a big fan of the original, so naturally i was quite sceptical going into this film.In a lot of sequels the characters are being exploited for the sake of gags and to disguise a lack of story. in this case it was the opposite, because the story here feels much more prominent and thought through than in part 1, which is a good thing. it took a while to get into at first, but as soon as the 2 start their new job, i really started to enjoy this film. the characters (especially "Tron"), atmosphere, development and especially the finale really drew me in and made me laugh out loud. it also pulls it off to be really funny and a feel-good movie at the same time, without ever feeling forced or cheesy.the "more than a feeling" scene had me in tears (of laughter).
not even sure, which one part i like better now - maybe because i've seen the first one too many times already. good job - i give it 7,5 out of 10.

I admit, I was very much looking forward to this sequel as I was a fan of the first. I will admit that although I did enjoy this film, it did feel a bit lacking. Perhaps I was hoping for more of a documentary approach as its predecessor had. That aside however, the movie did deliver some laughs and enjoyment and it was nice to see the duo of Terry and Deaner back together again. It's also note worthy that a lot of the dialogue was improvised which adds to the genuine feel of the characters which in turn gives the film a more natural and fluid feel.
Another thing I found quite interesting was the footage of the Oil Sands where the two secured employment. Now, I am far from being an environmentalist but, even in the few shot, you could see how disgusting that area is. I realize that this place keeps a lot of Canadians employed but the environmental impact (just by seeing all the emissions from the area) has to be severely negative.
Bottom Line: This film is recommended to those of you with a silly sense of humour, viewers who are simply looking for some light hearted laughter.
