Strange Brew (DVD, 2002)

I saw Strange Brew when it came out in the theaters when I was in my senior year of highschool, and later drove around listening to the soundtrack tape in my beat up Pinto with my friends. At the time I missed the whole Shakespaerian angle and just thought it was a mildly funny movie with some memorable quotes ("He once got our dead battery goin by mixin' bird feces and spit, cause there's like acids in it, eh?").

Twenty-five years later I decided to grab a copy from ebay and watch it again. Unlike other old movies and tv shows that I tried this with (Rambo, Space 1999, Battlestar Galactica) and found to be painfully bad after all this time, watching Strange Brew actually still made my wife and I laugh. My kids watched it ("Oh look, Dad's watching an old movie.") and laugh along with us. The chemistry between Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas who played the parts of Bob & Doug Mckenzie is still there. Although it will never be a classic, it has past the test of time as a campy, fun movie with some moments.

Now when I say old lines like "Go ahead, its a jelly!" and "Let me try, I'm a genius!" they actually know what I'm talking about...
