Title: A Great Send-Up, but Beware
Product review: This movie is not about beer, in the way "Strange Brew" was. It is an extremely good send-up of the advertising industry.Norbecker sales are plummeting, and A.J. Norbecker is about to fire his ad agency. After running around like headless chickens and firing their creative director, the agency settles on a completely ridiculous and yet extremely effective ad campaign. Meantime A.J. Norbecker contemplates invading and dominating the European beer market. ("Ve vill SMASH Heineken!")A very funny movie.A word about this on-demand DVD-R: It will probably play on a regular DVD player, but there is a fine-print disclaimer on the box that says it may not play on a computer drive or on a DVR. That turned out to be the case for me: It would not play on my Samsung DVR/DVD player. I had to return it to Amazon. This is the only DVD I ever got that my player could not read.
