Strange Brew

Strange Brew

1983

Hoping to snag some free beer by helping a brewery owner reclaim her business, two goofy Canadian brothers ( Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas) end up battling criminal Brewmeister Smith (Max von Sydow), who plans to take over the world by releasing his hypnotic suds to the public. Can the beer-guzzling masses count on Canada's biggest "hosers" to save the day? Paul Dooley and Lynne Griffin also star in this gut-busting vintage comedy.

Something funny is brewing at Elsinore Castle...
