Deaner89 is not just a backstory for the governor of givin'r, it is a love letter to so many of the best things the late 80s gave us; all wrapped in a heartfelt story with deeply developed characters. Deaner89 stands on it's own as a story of growing up, finding your roots and grappling with who you thought you were and who you want to be. The cast is an unbelievable group of Canadian comedy Royalty (Sasso! Mary Walsh! Kevin MacDonald!) and newer stars (Star Slade!) who were each rich contributors to the story, not just recognizable names with cameos. Deaner89 delivered on the laughs I expected from the lovable metalhead we've come to know, but the movie is a 10/10 for me because it surprised and delighted at every turn from the deeply relatable teen angst moments for kids of anyy generation, to the incredible way the movie touched on some often much brushed over darker moments of Canada's past that continue to leave its legacy on countless families. Congratulations to Paul Spence, Sam McGlynn and the entire production team for giving us something nostalgic, meaningful and just plain fun. Go check it out while you can!
