Strange Brew (1983)
6/10
Like it was a funny movie, aye!

I didn't think much of Strange Brew when I saw the opening sequence. Bob and Doug McKenzie were just stinking up the place with that movie-in-a-movie bit. But like any hoser, I was wrong, aye! (Note: after watching this movie, it takes a while to stop saying like...hoser...and aye in your sentences).

Every few years, a film puts together a classic comedy duo. Cheech and Chong, Bill and Ted, Beavis and Butthead, Wayne and Garth (to which Bob and Doug McKenzie most resemble, aye), and the McKenzie brothers are one of them.

The story resembles the movie Surf II (which I recommend if you like this one--it is a movie about a bunch of dumb surfers who haphazardly are the target of a nerd's evil plot to make evil, but popular cola drinks for unsuspecting consumers). Bob and Doug McKenzie, confront a similar misadventure as they are on the quest to get a case of free beer from their local brewery based on fabricated reports of a mouse being found in their beer. Soon, however, they are hired by the brewery, and are unwittingly the vehicles for the brewery's plan to create a beer who's drinkers obey the creator's every command. And like every bumbling, but good hearted duo, it is their unwitting mishaps that put an end to the fiendish plans of their unknown nemesis. It is non-stop humor as the two childish beer lover McKenzie brothers navigate their way through the story. No wonder it has turned into a classic and one that has borrowed on by many other teams of comedic imbeciles (like Half Baked).

Like give into the dark side, you nop!
