Two slackers, Bob and Doug McKenzie, get a job at the Elsinore Brewery. However, strange things are afoot at the brewery: the previous owner has just died under mysterious circumstances and his brother is trying to take over the company. In addition, the chief brewer is also a doctor at the local insane asylum and is testing the beer on the patients.

An unconventional comedy, complete with writer-director-actors Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas introducing their own movie. Very funny at times, has great momentum and never tries to be serious.

Also, very silly or incoherent at times. Some parts miss the mark completely and some gags get overused to irritation.

Still, it's never dull and overall is good fun. In addition, you can see the influence of this film on subsequent comedies. One of my favourite comedies of the 90s is Wayne's World and this reminds me of Wayne's World in many respects.
