Welcome to the Great White North, eh?
In 1983,
Bob and Doug McKenzie (Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas -- but not the Dave Thomas from
Wendy’s) introduced the world to the mysterious land of Canada -- a place overflowing
with beer and donuts. A place where everyone wears flannel and toques while they’re
playing hockey. A place where they use words like hoser and
eh.
When Bob and Doug try to scam the Elsinore brewery out of a
free case of beer, they end up with jobs instead. There, they get stumble upon
Brewmeister Smith (Max von Sydow), who’s planning to take over the beer-drinking world
with his mind-altering chemicals.
At the beginning of Strange Brew,
the brothers announce that their movie was filmed in 3-B -- “Three beers and it looks
good.” I’d say that’s pretty accurate. Strange Brew is a fabulously brainless
movie -- full of bad jokes, bad acting, and bad effects. It’s a must-see for any college
student -- preferably after a long night of drinking. But if you’re sober, be warned
that it takes a special sense of humor to enjoy this one. Those with that
special sense of humor, however (you know who you are), will love this
one.
