A hilarious headbanger finally makes it after struggling for decades, revealing it was all because of a childhood incident when the dark forces of heavy metal reached out from the grave.A hilarious headbanger finally makes it after struggling for decades, revealing it was all because of a childhood incident when the dark forces of heavy metal reached out from the grave.A hilarious headbanger finally makes it after struggling for decades, revealing it was all because of a childhood incident when the dark forces of heavy metal reached out from the grave.

    Wicked killer flick

    10/10;) deadly movie that's all about givner. Writing this review cuz deaner deserves a 10/10 not no 5.5 like come on this is the deadliest movie of the decade. I saw d'89 with my buddies while drinking a couple brews and that's what dean nation is about man and if you ain't about that then what are you even doin? Although I think that this flick should have gone to dvd and not to streaming services to stick with the classic style we love fubar for (acknowledging that the two movies have no legal ties so to speak) still a wicked movie to pass down to the ever evolving headbangers. I've always wanted to see the backstory of the governor of giviner. Now go watch this deadly flick.

    Masterpiece!

    Well, that was the best movie I've seen in a long time. I laughed my ass off. The characters were well developed. The humour was intelligent and relatable. I loved the sister and brother relationship. I had never seen the previous fubar movie before but i had an open mind when watching this film. It was so funny and laughed out loud a bunch of times. The music is soooo good. I think this is my new favorite movie and im going to say this is a Canadian Masterpiece. I really hope they make a sequel to this where Deaner lives in Calgary and starts a band or something. If you have time go do yourself a favour and watch this flick.

    Exceeds expectations

    Anyone who gives this movie less than an 8/10 wasn't paying attention. As a Canadian who grew up in dead end towns I'm admittedly biased but I can authentically speak to the expertly curated set design and wardrobe choices in this film and they nailed it. Anyone else who has spent time in small town Canada will know Dean Murdochs' (Paul Spence) neighbourhood intimately (including the front yard junk piles and local sidewalk six-pack guy).

    Going into Deaner '89 I was expecting to laugh at some dumb slapstick jokes and the beloved characters' riotous charm but I was surprised to be genuinely moved by the story. Without spoilers, this is a journey of self discovery and an example of what it takes to chase the dream when no one else wants you to. If you've ever felt trapped inside a box that the world demands you to be happy in, you'll resonate with Deans' experience. This Canadian indie film confronts some important, heavy themes with grace and tact.

    The family dynamic of father figure Glen (Will Sasso), anxiously religious mother Mirna (Lauren Cochrane) and headstrong little sister Jen (Star Slade) is sweet and entertaining. Kitty (Mady Foley) is the perfect high school heartthrob and her Aunt May (Mary Walsh) is the metal mentor of my dreams. This movie truly has a lot to offer and the grade A (Eh) comedic performances and heavy metal spirit make up the juicy cherry on top of Deaner '89.

    A Unique Experience On and Off Screen

    I had the incredible opportunity to be a background actor in Deaner '89, and the entire experience was unforgettable. From being on set to seeing the final product on release day, it was surreal to watch the movie come to life, especially after seeing so much of what went on behind the scenes.

    I even got to meet Paul Spence, who couldn't have been nicer. In one scene, he had to push past me, and he took the time to check in and make sure I knew what was happening. As a freshly 18-year-old working on my very first project, it meant the world to me. It was such a small moment, but it showed how professional and kind he was.

    Maybe I'm a little biased from being part of the filming process, but I genuinely enjoyed the movie. It has that raw, nostalgic energy with just the right mix of humor and heart. Whether you're a fan of FUBAR or just looking for something different, Deaner '89 is a ride worth taking.

    Loved it, but can't go in with expectations.

    I loved this movie but you can't go into it with an expectation that it will be like the Fubar movies. You also have to get over the fact that Deaner is an old guy trying to play a teenager. PS I have no idea how the hell he pulled off being so spry at his age... I am 40 and can barely get off the couch without hurting myself.

    Anyway, my review has to be a certain length and I don't have much else to say about the movie other than...

    Woman is a Danger Cat

    The streets are silent, My wheels are the night, Black leather boots calling out to you, A cute blonde boogie machine spreads her wings, And comes along for the ride.

    Your father thinks you're out at Suzie's place, Bonin' up on the classics, But everyone in high school knows, You're heavy into gymnastics.

    One way street, never mind the signs, Full charged gasoline in the tank, Your foot is on the gas and the tires say YEAH!

    Woman is a danger cat

    Your teachers say you never try, You should be top of the class, But if I was your only educator, You know that you would pass.

    You sneak out at night, Deep into the night, This ain't no halfway house, You came from good blood RIGHT!

    On and on

    Woman is a danger cat

    -Deaner.
