You know, for the first movie that Rick Moranis, or Dave Thomas for that matter, have ever done, it's really good. Anybody who appreciates art would recognize this as the SCTV version of Shakespeare's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, which is basically another version of Hamlet. The plot has a lot of meat to it for a comedy, and the comedy itself is so funny that I laugh like a hyena at almo... read more

Something is rotten at the Elsinore Brewery. Bob and Doug Mackenzie (as seen on SCTV) help the orphan Pam regain the brewery founded by her recently-deceased father. But to do so, they must confront the suspicious brewmaster and two teams of vicious hockey players.

“You know, for the first movie that Rick Moranis, or Dave Thomas for that matter, have ever done, it's really good. Anybody who appreciates art would recognize this as the SCTV version of Shakespeare's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, which is basically another version of Hamlet. The plot has a lot of meat to it for a comedy, and the comedy itself is so funny that I laugh like a hyena at almost every scene ("Two bowls of split plea soup to go."). I highly recommend this to Rick's fans, SCTV fans, and comedy buffs in general.

My rating: 9/10” read more

"Summary: Hoping to snag some free beer by helping a brewery owner reclaim her business, half-wit brothers Bob and Doug McKenzie end up entangled in Brewmeister Smith's plot to take over the world by releasing a hypnosis-laced brew to the public. My opinion: For the first movie that Rick Moranis has ever done, it's actually quite good. I laugh at almost every scene in this movie."
