VHS Movie Reviews of Strange Brew
Movie Review: 4 is for old times sake
Summary: 4 Stars
This is no 5-star movie. Don't be deceived. I'd have given it 3 if not for the nostalgia value and some of the cool extras. Back when we were in 6th grade and listening to Rush, Geddy Lee himself would sing "Take off, to the great white north!" as some kind of background track to their show. We loved it. And as we were pretty much in the process of discoving beer ourselves at the time, we knew these guys were cool.
25 years later, it took some effort not to fall asleep watching this nonsense. It's pretty silly stuff. The more outrageous it got, the more I liked it I have to say, but it didn't really get mildly surreal until the end of the movie, when Bob performs a superhuman beer-drinking feat, and their dog/skunk flies into the sky in order to disrupt Oktoberfest. The plot was slow and weak in a nutshell. You get to see Bob and Doug being themselves, which as I said, carries a certain nostalgic weight, especially since in all the radio shows I heard them on, I never did see an actual broadcast or movie. For this reason I bought Strange Brew. I can't say I really regret it especially since it's so cheap, but I wouldn't recommend it to someone who hadn't really lived through that era, or didn't already know Bob and Doug. It was a pretty boring movie, though it had it's moments. 3.5 stars. 4 is for the memories.
Movie Review: True Humor
Summary: 5 Stars
I was so happy to be able to introduce my daughters to humor without tons of sex and swearing. One of the all time great movies. It made a 17 and 19 year old laugh out loud many times.
Get it.

Summary of Strange Brew
Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis created their popular toque-wearing, beer-swigging "Great White North" hosers Bob and Doug McKenzie on the great TV comedy show SCTV to fulfill a Canadian broadcasting regulation that required Canadian shows to have a certain amount of "Canadian content." Bob and Doug became so popular that they made a hit record (Take Off, with Geddy Lee, nasalist with the Canadian rock band Rush) and this Major Motion Picture--filmed in "Hoserama." Bob and Doug are the Cheech and Chong of beer, so the plot involves the boys's attempt to scam a free case of Elsinore beer from the brewery, which is run by a mad scientist Brewmeister Smith (Max von Sydow), who wants to rule the world, like all mad scientists do. Strange Brew's intoxicating blend of hops and malt--er ... cleverness and silliness--earned it a loyal and well-deserved cult following. --Jim EmersonCanada Video
