    Strange Brew

    Strange Brew is a feature-length adaptation by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas of their Canadian stereotype characters from SCTV, the McKenzie brothers. It’s also based loosely on Hamlet, making it the oddest update of Shakespeare still to this day (sorry, She’s the Man) and giving it way more plot than you’d expect from a dumb comedy about knuckleheads trying to get a free case of beer.

    The plotline (derived from Hamlet) soon goes flat.

    The price of a ticket could buy enough beer for an experience at least as memorable as this one.

    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.

    Frankly, I was sold the moment the MGM lion gave out an inebriated belch.

    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.

    "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.
