Beer Does the Body Good – PG. Mature Theme (Alberta-3:00 Comedy, Vern Wutzke – Director) At the local waterin’ hole, a fella decides to drink healthy with catastrophic results.

Beer Does the Body Good was semi entertaining, but I think would have been better enjoyed by men. It was definitely a man’s movie, but I give it credit for making me laugh a few times.

At a watering hole, surrounded by beer drinking men, a man decides to drink milk rather than beer. Everyone stares at him, in shock. When he drinks milk, claiming that he’s in a “healthy mood” he begins to rot as if being incredibly unhealthy. Everyone mocks him claiming they told him so; definitely a man’s film.

Although I laughed every once in a while, I found that the men in the audience found it FAR funnier than I did. I don’t feel how I can judge this film, as I’m aware that it was not intended for me, but for men. To me, I thought it was so-so.
