  Art, Until you can see it, you can read about it. See the Wikipedia entry:
  
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FUBAR_2
  
  It was released in Canada in Oct. 1, 2010. The plot description contains this line: "Terry starts dating Trish (Terra Hazelton), a waitress at the local strip bar who has slept with every member of the pipeline crew at one time or another."
  
  Sounds like fun!

  Thanks for the links, guys.
  
  shadow, your link led to others that followed the band associated with the star/writer of this movie. At one time or another in my life I have been in every single one of those bars. This band tours the real down and dirty spots in western Canada! I am kind of surprised that I have never heard of Deaner and The Heatseekers; a generational thing, I am sure.
  
  I won't be seeking out this movie any time soon.
  
  Apparently FUBAR is an acronym for: Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition ??

  Either "Recognition" or, more often in my experience, "Repair".
  
  Common in military circles.

  I turned the movie on tonight. I could only stand 2 minutes of it. It is FUBAR. :)

  FUBAR (Fucked Up Beyond All Repair) and SNAFU (Situation Normal--All Fucked Up) were coined by US soldiers in World War II, making fun of military acronyms.

  There's also a mixed-company version of FUBAR: "Fouled up beyond all recognition." I have heard of Jacklash's explanation before. It's intesting that today "SNAFU" is quite a socially acceptable term. I've heard it used on TV and radio. I don't hear FUBAR used very much.

  I thought FUBAR was fucked up beyond all reality... think I first heard it from the movie Apocolypse now. I enjoyed the FUBAR movies, reminds me of growing up in AB.

  I was snowed in last weekend on the farm and attempted to watch this movie. I watched more than you did, shadowcat; but you are exactly right. This movie is definitely FUBAR!!
  
  To anybody else: don't waste your time on this piece of shit. Just goes to show - we Canadians can make just as crappy movies as you Americans do.
