Great movie, a true classic. Hockey, beer, sausages, and a flying dog. What's not to love.

When it comes to guilty pleasures this film is on my top ten list for sure. Now I can thank Netflix for bringing it into my home. It brings to mind a better time when Rick Moranis was popular (couldn't they find something else for him to shrink or blow up?). It may not be big budget but it stands up as a great comedy even today. The film stars Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas. Also featured is Oscar nominee Max von Sydow.The film follows Doug and Bob McKenzie, two Canadian brothers, as they attempt to quench their insatiable thirst for beer. After some poorly designed attempts to get free beer they end up as employees of the Elsinore Brewery. There they find that something strange is brewing and unwittingly become part of the solution.I'm not going to rave about this film. I would suggest this one for anyone who liked Spies Like Us, Airplane, or any films similar to those. It's goofy and silly and fun, something I think the whole family can enjoy.I give this 2.5 out of 5 stars, but I love this film so much!

Once in a while, a comedy comes along that is so funny and so ridiculous at the same time that it's automatically destined for cult status. In 1983, "Strange Brew" was that comedy.Spinning off from Canada's comedy variety show "SCTV," "Strange Brew" follows the escapades of Bob and Doug McKenzie (Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas) following a failed venture at making a hysterically intentionally cheesy movie. In their unending quest for beer that follows, they eventually get a job at a brewery, where they drink beer, woo the young new owner, drink more beer, discover a plot for world domination orchestrated by Max von Sydow (yes, THAT Max von Sydow), and drink more beer. What follows is a cornucopia of hilarity that can only be explained if you watch it.Decades after its release, "Strange Brew" continues to induce guffaws in young and old people alike. It's the perfect screwball comedy to watch with a bunch of friends. So's all you hosers grab yourselves a beer and doughnut and enjoy the movie, eh!

The comedic pairing of Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas really deliver in this comedy based on a sketch from SCTV. The humor may seem a little strange, but the movie really picks up as soon as they get their jobs at the brewery. The Canadian humor may not be fit for some people, but honestly you don't even notice it because you are consistently laughing at this movie. The plot may not seem like it's very high brow, but the laughs keep coming that you really don't care about the key plot points. So check out Strange Brew, because it was truly a fitting comedy for it's time. Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas are truly a comedic duo to see perform.
