REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Thu., May 11, 2000
You remember the McKenzie Brothers from SCTV, Bob and Doug, those beer-guzzling Canadian slackers who broke out of their TV-sketch format to star in this feature-length movie written and directed by their alter egos Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis. Well, break open another six-pack as the Alamo brings back this funny movie about a couple of Canadians who sit around and drink a lot.
