Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Stars, directors and co-writers Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis originated Bob and Doug McKenzie, their beer-making, beer-swilling sibling act in a series of TV sketches. Here Von Sydow's a rival beer manufacturer hoping to take over the world by drugging his brew, but the plotline (derived from Hamlet) soon goes flat.
