If you release “The Greatest Beer Run Ever” and nobody notices, does it even make a sound? The film opened yesterday in New York City, Los Angeles, and Dallas. I doubt anybody noticed. There was no all-media screening backing its release (a true rarity). Instead, Apple is screening it for press this coming Thursday — just one day before it begins streaming on Apple TV. I caught the world premiere of Farrelly’s “The Greatest Beer Run Ever” two weeks ago at TIFF and was somewhat disappointed by it. However, it sure as hell doesn’t deserve the nasty reviews it’s been getting from critics. As it stands, Farrelly’s movie has a pitiful 35 on Metacritic. This basically sets it up for Razzies, which it doesn’t deserve. No doubt some critics are still bitter about Farrelly’s “Green Book” winning Best Picture, but come on! I wrote: “The film has its moments, Efron isn’t bad in the lead role, but it falls flat in too many scenes. The comedic timing of “Green Book” has completely evaporated here. There’s also no Mahershala or Viggo, which makes a huge difference.” Contribute Hire me
