"Something possessed me to watch this tonight. It's been a while since I have seen this. I'm already saying eh and calling stuff Hosers. Rick Moranis and Doug MacKenzie kill me. I love Canadian movies and such. This one is awkwardly funny and I love it. Recommended. 👍🏻🌟"

"You just have to love seeing a couple of the SCTV series crew together in a film. It is so ridiculous...so funny. I love the scene with the two men drinking their way out of a large beer container....priceless!"

"Watchable? Yes, funny as it's listed as a comedy? No. I grew up watching a Canadian TV show called The Red Green Show which actually came across way more funny than this as I didn't laugh at all while watching this film, and to be honest don't see how there's people that call this the greatest Canadian movie ever. I would personally say to watch it if you like the movie as it might come across differently for you than it did for me. "

""Well, I thought there were a couple of, uh, minor, uh, story flaws, but all in all, it was a good $5's worth for me and my whole family""

"A legendary film. Grab some brews and prepare for an epic adventure. Gag comedy with a surprisingly substantial plot. "

"This movie is so ridiculous and silly. If you loved these characters on SCTV, you must watch this. If you’ve never seen SCTV, it’s the Canadian version of SNL and you should look that up too. "

"A low bar, perhaps, but Strange Brew is the greatest Canadian movie of all time. "

"My dad constantly quotes Brewmeister Smith's iconic "I could crush your head... like a nut... but I won't. Because I need you." to me, and I was always confused until he showed me this movie. I assumed it'd be your average overly raunchy comedy movie, but was pleasantly surprised to realize it was actually quite funny! Pam Elsinore is quite a knockout! I love Lynne Griffin, she was (and still is) so beautiful and looks like such a sweet lady. Also, I love Brew. Smith's previously mentioned line."
