"🍻7.5/10🍻 THE GREATEST BEER RUN EVER is definitely worth watching 👍🏾👍🏾
“You got a good heart, Chickie, it’s your brains I’m worried about.” 💜👍🏾…🧠🤔
This line, delivered near the end of the movie by one of the protagonist’s (Zac Efron’s) friends, PERFECTLY sums up how you’ll likely feel about Efron’s incredibly naive character in this equally astonishing story. Overall, it was a thoroughly entertaining #dramedy, and I was pleasantly surprised by how engaging it was. I enjoyed it from start to finish. 🍻🇺🇸"
"After watching the trailer, you might say to yourself, there's no way that happened IRL. But even if they took liberties with the story, it's still an amazing premise that a guy would be crazy enough to bring his neighborhood buddies beer in the middle of the Vietnam warzone. This movie surprised me at how well done it was. Great production value, soundtrack, cinematography, acting, everything across the board was well done. It's funny and heartfelt at the same time. We get to witness Zac Efron's character, Chickie Donohue, have personal growth and change his perspective a bit after observing, first hand, the lies and propaganda surrounding the atrocities of the Vietnam war. I recommend this movie, based on a true story, directed by Peter Farrelly. 8.5/10"
"4.25/5*s
This is a movie based on a true story of a man from Jersey named Chickie, who goes to Vietnam during the war to deliver beer to the friends of his who are still alive. He has a particular viewpoint in regards to the war, but after being in a hot war zone, we watch as his perspective shifts. We all know that the war in Vietnam was not our war, and we should not have even been there. We did more damage than good, and the only reason was the pure greed of the United States government. It was a senseless sh1tshow that resulted in the deaths of thousands of our boys. This shows the lies and propaganda that was being fed to us Americans versus the truth of what was really happening. Excellent cast of Zac Efron, Russell Crowe, Bill Murray, and many other wonderful actors that I do not know the names of but were really great in their roles. I highly recommend this movie."
"Enjoyable Entertaining Enlightenment, my 3 fave E's! This TRUE story has a big, BIG Heart! Zac Efron gives a stunning & vulnerable performance like we've never B4 seen from him! ●[Supplies:2 bags micro.popcorn, 2-3 tissues, & a Buddy to HIGH FIVE & LAUGH with😆]● I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this film & encourage u to share it w/your teens. Don't be fooled by its 'Drama' genre, bc it has Everything! Loveable Director Peter Farrelly kept it rated 15+ so we can share with the teens in our lives who may only have textbook knowledge of Vietnam. In the words of Efron, (Chicky Donahue) AppleTV+ interview: "This really is a powerful, powerful story; and in some ways it's never been more relevant...carefully crafted and well written. There's moments you'll be crying, there's moments you'll be LAUGHING YOUR A$$ OFF, ... just transported to another time and place.""
