Join The Deuce this month as we proudly present the esteemed landmark documentary: The Sorrow And The Pity… Ahhh, take off, ya hosers… it’s April Fool’s, eh! Like we’re really gonna show a 4-hour French documentary about Nazis?? No way, eh – Nazis are KNOBS!! No – but really – we’re really excited to be showing The Sorrow And The Pity... except – it’s NOT a pity, we’re NOT!! We switched it, eh – like for something that’ll really get you thinking… about BEER! Yeh, ya hosers – The Deuce is pouring you some STRANGE BREW! Beauty, eh? Or aka, eh: THE ADVENTURES OF BOB & DOUG MCKENZIE: STRANGE BREW… Beauty, eh… like it’s got the names of who’s in it, right in the title… and brew.. the best part, eh?
Beer-loving brothers embark on a lark to bamboozle a life-load of said beloved beer and bumble into a bevy of bedevilment rife with ridiculousness… A brainwashing Brewmeister and the Galactic Border Patrol! A Fido that flies! Back-bacon and beer! Chicanery in the brewery! Or let’s just tell it like it is: it’s Hamlet meets the Hoseheads!! Oh! Canada
Brewed (beauty, eh?) from a snarky SCTV skit writ’ to satisfy a “Canadian Content Quota”… Re-writ and wrought by the triple-dipping duo – directors! writers (with some early-draft help from Cherry 2000‘s Steve De Jarnatt)!! stars!!!… Thomas and Moranis (how do you pronounce that?) – for the big screen and small IQs – (purportedly) for the sole purpose of pleasing 12-year-olds! And boy did those lucky-duckies at 42nd Street’s Harris leave the theatre feeling 12 years old again… Success!!
Beauty, eh?? So don’t be bummed we’re not showing The Sorrow And The Pity hosers – stop being a knob – kick back with The Deuce and slug down some bonafide STRANGE BREW that somehow manages to sneak in enough strange (and smart and sweet) to make your hoser head spin!!
