| Washington PostRita KempleyIf you've got the time, we've got the brew--lite, zany and slightly intoxicating...It's a loosely constructed movie, rough and raw, but good for more than a few laughs. After you blow away the foam and discount the wandering, nonessential storyline, you'll find a playful, punful little film with salutes to Steven Spielberg and other recent favorite filmmakers. Sound good? Then this, bud, is for you. |
| Common Sense MediaBrian CostelloClassic '80s send-up of Canada; lots of beer drinking. |
| CinePassionFernando F. CroceTheir take on the Bard is as imaginative as any other cinematic adaptation, plus a good deal funnier |
| Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)Jeffrey WesthoffI laughed so hard the bullet flew out of my nose. |
| DVDLaserDouglas PrattThe film celebrates stupidity and would likely have caused an international incident if Canadians weren't so nice, but it essentially lives up to its premise, once in a while coming up with a gag that is halfway funny. |
| HitFixDrew McWeenyOverall, 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. |
| Washington PostGary ArnoldA movie that's barely there. The McKenzies are genial enough, and once in a while they're vaguely funny. But their film is so ephemeral that you may hardly be aware of watching it, even while it's going on. |
| Lawrence.comEric Melin"Hamlet" done by Canadian drunks! Absolute genius! |
| User ReviewVittorio CPossibly one the funniest underrated movies. Odds are you won't find it funny unless you grew up watching the skit on SCTV. Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas as Bob and Doug McKenzie were great returning to their roles. So, in the immortal words of Doug, G'day, eh |
| User ReviewSean KA classic when i was a kid, just as good now with many nuances i missed in my youth. |
