Classic '80s send-up of Canada; lots of beer drinking.

...A landmark film in the realm of truly inspired stupidity. It's a beauty way to go, eh'...
Entertainment Weekly
...[The characters] have a certain mangy appeal...
Variety
Their take on the Bard is as imaginative as any other cinematic adaptation, plus a good deal funnier

"Hamlet" done by Canadian drunks! Absolute genius!

Clunky booze comedy based on popular Canadian air heads.

Overall, I'm not sure anyone picking up Strange Brew cold right now without any prior exposure to the characters would even be able to tell what they're looking at. I still find it entertaining, and I love Rick Moranis in the film in particular.

Product Description:
SCTV's Bob and Doug Mackenzie (Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas) star as two wacky beer guzzling "hosers" who set out on a zany plot to score a free case of brew. They meet the beautiful Pam (Lynne Griffin) and decide to help save her recently acquired brewery from the diabolical Brewmeister Smith (Max von Sydow--THE EXORCIST) The comedy kicks into full gear as the pair try and overpower Brewmeister Smith in a story that is actually a nutty re-working of Shakespeare's HAMLET.
