    A well-thought out, ironic and self-referential comedy classic... that's loosely based on Hamlet!?! This was a wholly enjoyable film with the just the right balance of plot and humour, and really shows how many of today's comedies are in fact incredibly bad. Also, it makes me see...( read more) Wayne's World in a whole new context - God bless the Second City.

    I'm a huge SCTV fan, but always skipped through the Bob and Doug "Great White North" skits, as I found them always the same. Strange Brew had a story which got those two Hozers out of their studio set and onto a series a misadventures with a Beer Bottle plot to get rich, and a ma...( read more)d scientist. The scene where Bob gets filled up with beer was funny but unrealistic. It feels cheapo, but Strange Brew is a strange curiosity of the 80's. I can't say I enjoyed it too much.

    Really not as funny as I remember it being when I was 12.

    Classic Canadian comedy. Sure it is kind of stupid but still a classic. Stars Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas as characters Bob and Doug McKenzie from the classic sketch show SCTV. These characters helped inspire Mike Myers and Dana Carvey's Wayne's World. The film has tons of laug...( read more)hs and odd characters. Sure a lot of this is a groaner to watch but I always liked it. So Take off Eh! You Hoser!

    This is a funny flick but I think it's a little over rated. I'm glad there weren't any more. I think it just would have gotten worse.
