Terry and Dean are lifelong friends who have grown-up together: shotgunning their first beers, forming their first garage band, and growing the great Canadian mullet known as "hockey hair". Now the lives of these Alberta everymen are brought to the big screen by documentarian Ferral Mitchener in an exploration of the depths of friendship, the fragility of life, growing up gracefully and the art and science of drinking beer like a man.

Reviews
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
doctorvalis Special, heartfelt, wonderful. Couple a boneheads with moments of beautiful human depth and relate-ability. It's what I love about Kevin Smith's films when he really gets it right. Enjoyable.What I love about the Canadianness is that even in conflicts there is an underlying politeness and even niceness that I hope to emulate. It's like when kids fight, they have the humanity to forgive and forget in like a minute.Filmed really well as well. Considering the budget they must have had, it is seamlessly wonderful in that you never really feel like 'oh this is a documentary and I'm supposed to forget the camera is a weird thing to be there', you're just there with them in an effortless looking but very difficult way to achieve.
jeffoneonone Well, not MINE, but I knew so many guys like this in my teens and twenties. Thing is, you gotta love these kind of guys 'cause what they lack in brains and ambition they make up for in lust for life and overall heart. The "headbanger" mentality hasn't been well-represented in most Hollywood movies (Bill and Ted's, Wayne's World et al). As silly as it may seem, headbangers take their lifestyle choice very seriously and -- even if they are not always eloquent enough to put it in such poignant terms -- they are consciously rebelling against conformity and the pressures of modern life to do everything but enjoy life and have a good time.Even better, it was all filmed within two hours of my place. Just give'r!!!
paulkayefan Honestly the first 30 minutes of this film is fairly painful as we watch the main characters played by Dave Lawrence and Paul Spence go through their childhood, as twenty-somethings with meaningless jobs and non existent friends and six pack after six pack. Farrel, the documentary filmmaker, decides to follow these Canadian fellows and make a film on their "so-called" life. As one character discovers a health issue that turns his life upside down, the two characters (and the filmmaker) start a journey into the woods and mother nature to excise their fear. It's only at this point that the film really gets going and the director is finally able to take the saran wrap off the characters and let them emote something more than pure silliness. The production value is low but the story while simple is executed well. Look forward for the Director's next film about a deaf deejay: All Gone Pete Tong.
Snydro I'm gonna keep this short and sweet just like the movie. I give this movie a 10 rating for the pure entertainment factor. Now if you're one of those people that think singing in the rain is one of the best movies ever made or you sip tea and read a book on a Saturday night then this flick's not for you. If you're a "normal type" person and like to give'er like most of us fun-lovin Canadians then you won't be disappointed. Fire up & check it out. "More cheers more beers, that's it that's all"
