Fubar is a Canadian mockumentary from 2002 .

action

The film is presented like a documentary, but it is a feature film. The focus of the "documentation" are the two friends Dean and Terry. Your daily routine is to listen to heavy metal and get running with beer. When Dean is diagnosed with testicular cancer one day, the two set off for one last wild weekend before the operation. Since the man who accompanies the two protagonists in a documentary dies in the course of the film, the producers felt compelled to point out at the beginning of the film that it was not a real documentary.
