Apparently Zac Efron finally got his act together and is willing to take small risks in roles that are different from what he's always been known for, and I support that.

Shedding the good boy image takes work, but this isn't the movie that will get him that.

Between the forced feel of its good intentions and the manipulation of its plot, Efron really can't navigate this story properly. It lacked a lot of punch.
He's on the right track, he just needs to be offered better scripts.… Expand

There are definitely funny moments although there are also, of course, very serious and thought provoking/insightful moments too. Its a good film at making you think about the consequences of war - it doesn't shy away from that but the basic story is so random, as I say, its pretty memorable and it features a good cast, including Russell Crowe, who plays a TV reporter/journalist and a short appearance from Bill Murray. I like that it features some information provided by text at the end of the film, shortly before the credits appear and also one or two real life photos. I'm surprised this hadn't been made into a film previously, if anything. Yes, I'd certainly recommend this film.… Expand

In short, more brilliant, tangible and thought-provoking than it had any business creating out of the premise (though it is technically a true story, so they had some help)

The title of this movie is misleading, it's not a fun story about a guy and his friends on an adventure with wild antics. It may start out like that, but as it goes on it becomes so much more profound than that. The growth of Zack Effron's character (Chickie) is the most well earned and entirely sympathetic. The stance on the Vietnam War feels transparent and widely representing of various viewpoints but the movie itself does take it's own stance which might offput some audience members with strong unyielding patriotism. I feel that it doesn't attack this support of the controversial Vietnam War as other more heavy fisted movies might, with characters in that line of thinking (Namely Bill Murray's Colonel) being shown in a positive light. Hopefully this will be a great talking point to allow people from both sides to be able to understand the opinion of one other regarding war in general. However, if nothing else it is a truly beautiful and endearing movie that blends comedy and poignant heart wrenching moments without feeling jolting. Everything is transitions smoothly one moment into the next even while fitting a massive amount of story into just over 2 hours. One of the most well told stories I've ever seen put to pixels.… Expand

Was a mystery movie at my theater. I didn't know what it was until I googled Zac Efron movies once I saw him. It was a good movie I didn't know I wanted to watch, I would have missed out as I had never heard of it and no plans to watch it. ItWas a mystery movie at my theater.

It was a good movie I didn't know I wanted to watch, I would have missed out as I had never heard of it and no plans to watch it. It wasn't the best movie, but it had emotion and laughs. I was entertained, It was worth my time and money, and I'd recommend others to watch it, so that's why 10/10.… Expand

Not every real event in the history of humanity needs to be adapted to the big screen. 'The Greatest Beer Run Ever' ignores that and tells this dumb story about a guy risking everyone for a whim. Feels like a lesser "Forrest Gump."

I liked it. Was predictable what the message of the movie is quite early, but anyway was ok movie. Nothing very special, but I thought it was good.
