THE GREATEST BEER RUN EVER MOVIE REVIEW
There’s this fine center line that one can ride while drinking copious amounts of alcohol. It’s basically like purgatory for your sobriety. On one side, you’re not drunk enough. Which means you are still capable of making smart decisions. Go to the other side of the line, you’re a stumbling idiot singing Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It.” But if one can manage to walk that fine line, you split the realities of being drunk but still acute in critical thinking. This is where Chickie Donahue (Zac Efron) was when he decided to bring a beer to all his friends who were serving in Vietnam. This is 1967 America. Most people believed in crushing communism because it’s what they were told by their government. From Chickie’s point of view, we’re doing what’s right for the world, and our soldiers deserve a beer for everything they have sacrificed. Chickie hops on a civilian work ship and heads to Vietnam. He does find a lot of his friends, but over time, realizes that what we’re fighting for is all mixed up. Today T.C. Drew, and Chad all throw on Hawaiian shirts to make it look like we’re CIA. It’s hot in Vietnam.

YOUR REVIEWERS
Chad Halvorsen (Screener Squad)
Chad Halvorsen currently resides in Milwaukee, WI, where he produces and edits commercials, films, and everything in between. He was always a fan of film/television growing up, spending days in the Summer, making (terrible) home movies with his brothers. Little did he know that passion would carry on into adulthood. Since 2006, Chad has worked for several agencies in various departments. Shooting, producing, editing, production management, directing, and when forced to, writing copy. In 2015, Chad decided to take the big leap and become a freelancer. Since then, he’s produced content for Lyft, AT&T, Target, and Discovery Network. His passion lies in entertaining people, making them feel better, even for a moment. All the pain and suffering of this business is worth it, if even just one person views his work. Chad is a frequent podcaster, most notably posing as a co-host for the podcast “The Film Illogical Society.”
