The simply-titled 1985 film, Beer, doesn’t so much have a plot as it does a basic commentary about the advertising world and the fantasies it harbors towards its own work. It goes from there to make a narrative that compounds upon that idea with a few nuggets of comedy and some clever commercials. Beyond that, it’s only sporadically funny and can’t really be considered dramatic. Beer definitely qualifies as oddball with its cast of characters and the little bit of nonsense the film puts them through, but there’s very little else to be said about it. When the credits roll, Beer is just another forgettable comedy lying in the shadows of better films of the genre in a decade known for legendary comedies. If anything helps Beer register it’s the well-chosen cast of Rip Torn, David Alan Grier, Peter Michael Goetz, William Russ, and Loretta Swit.
