Plot
When a hopeless stag party goes on a mock zombie survival weekend, an unfortunate turn of events leave them fighting for their lives.
Cast
Outside of British comedy mainstay Mark Heap I didn't know anybody.
Verdict
Me and British comedies don't have the best history, okay fine let me rephrase me and British movies don't have the best history (And I'm British) we focus too much on council estates, football hooliganism, chavvy behaviour and faux "Gangsters" none of which interest me. There have absolutely been exceptions over the years, masterpieces even! But I'm still hesitant and was going into Fubar (Especially as it goes by two names, I hate that).
Early on I realized they were your bog standard over the hard to like loud characters which made me even further concerned but once the film got going I found myself able to put that to one side and just enjoy the film, and enjoy it I did.
Sure Fubar is no comedy masterpiece but it's funny, it's well made, it has an interesting concept and a few memorable moments. For what it is it's a lot of fun and well worth 90 minutes of your time.
Rants
I'll tell you a bugbear I have with IMDB, 1 star reviews! Each to his/her own but to me 1 star review suggests a film has absolutely no redeeming features, not one thing going for it and is an offense to the eyes, ears and mind. Few films should ever be labelled as such and though taste is most certainly subjective I don't see how anyone could say this has no redeeming features yet there are a LOT of 1 star reviews for Fubar. Hate campaign? No shortage of them on here? Now don't get me wrong as you'll see from my profile I have at time of writing 927 1 star ratings, however that makes up 6% of almost 16k! I think a 1 or a 10 in many instances just can't be taken seriously and people have an agenda behind that decision. This is far from a 1 star movie.
The Good
Mark Heap is great
Some really quite funny moments
Surprisingly well made
The Bad
Characters can be a smidge annoying
I'd have rather they wrote a certain fight scene differently.
