Strange Brew
Something funny is brewing at Elsinore Castle...
Directed by Rick Moranis, Dave Thomas
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A gleefully absurd comedy that treats a Shakespearean plot framework and brewery intrigue as pure fodder for irreverent sketch-comedy hijinks.
Something is rotten at the Elsinore Brewery. Bob and Doug McKenzie (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 Brewmeister Smith and two teams of vicious hockey players.
