The Greatest Beer Run Ever (2022) is mostly disappointing. The film has a slow start and begins to peak halfway through but loses the energy and meanders until the end.
I had not heard of John "Chickie" Donohue's story until this film, but it sounds like such a tall tale that there's no way it could be true. And yet it is. Unfortunately this film seems less adventurous as never ventures to far to be a comedy, drama, or war related film.
The film just can't find any humor or make any noble statement on the Vietnam War. Maybe its because the war itself remained blurry and hard to understand. People just didn't know how to think and this film is kind of like that. But that's probably not what this film was going for.
I think this film could've been a lot better if it just embraced being a comedy film with a few dramatic moments to bring the narrative together. This film just couldn't bring it all together.
Not really worth a watch. Read about Chickie and probably avoid this film.
