The price of a ticket could buy enough beer for an experience at least as memorable as this one.
Their take on the Bard is as imaginative as any other cinematic adaptation, plus a good deal funnier
No, there's nothing intelligent here -- just a couple of likable fellows trying to stop mad Brewmeister Smith (Max von Sydow) from gaining control of the world.
The 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.
Clunky booze comedy based on popular Canadian air heads.
The plotline (derived from Hamlet) soon goes flat.
There's tons of weird stuff here.
"Hamlet" done by Canadian drunks! Absolute genius!
Just odd enough to skate by; you remember the singular tone of the film long after the gags have faded.
Brilliant. Stupid...but brilliant.
[A] funny movie about a couple of Canadians who sit around and drink a lot.
Strange Brew, incidental and faintly funny as it may be, was the start of a legacy much longer and significant than itself.
I laughed so hard the bullet flew out of my nose.
One of the greatest beer movies of all time!
