Deaner '89 is a very stupid movie, with a lot of really stupid 80s tropes done to perfection. And these lead to laugh out loud moments, but --- BUT ! - there is also some really sophisticated turns of phrase, scenes and shots that make the movie more than the sum of its parts.
I think if you have a family that's really cool about swearing this may be a perfect family film.
The heart of the film is Deaner exploring his hereto unknown his metis ancestry. It doesn't hit you over the head, but instead focused on the joy in finding community and how unfunny and stupid racism is. It makes it a perfect intro into some issues Canadian's don't really love talking about (coughsixtiesscoopcough), and could be a cool way to get someone thinking a little bit deeper, especially if they are the type that don't "get" land acknowledgements.
Oh also, it is very funny.
