Strange Brew

"Strange Brew makes a worthwhile debut on DVD that is likely to please this film's cult following. Fans used to this cult favorite from its drab-looking original VHS release will be pleasantly surprised by the transfer, which serves up the film with a nice, clean letterboxed image that is surprisingly colorful and sharp. This disc further benefits from a nice Dolby Surround stereo mix: Strange Brew's use of sound does not put this format to the test but it's a nice surprise and delivers a solid, distortion-free soundtrack. Although this disc is not a special edition, Strange Brew throws in a couple of interesting extras in addition to the usual theatrical trailer. First up is a short cartoon entitled The Animated Adventures Of Bob And Doug MacKenzie: it is essentially an extended promo for a forthcoming cartoon series but is amusing enough to please the film's fans. Even better is ""How To Stuff A Mouse In A Beer Bottle,"" a fun sketch from SCTV that was the genesis of a gag later used in Strange Brew. There is also an easily found 'easter egg' that leads to a text dictionary of Canadian slang terms. All in all, Warner Brother's DVD of Strange Brew is well worth the price for the film's fans and good fun for comedy fans."
