Why watch this film?
After telling the controversial and award-winning story of 'Green Book', filmmaker Peter Farrelly continues with his provocative and provocative verve with 'The Greatest Beer Run Ever', an exclusive feature film from Apple TV+. Here, the story is in the hands of Chickie (Zac Efron), a man looking for ways to support his friends and countrymen who are fighting in the Vietnam War. How? By bringing American beer to them. However, as in 'Green Book', Chickie's journey gradually changes his life and reveals new aspects of this war - all with a different and unusual performance by Efron. Based on a true story, the feature film brings an off-the-shelf plot and shows how Farrelly, who has built his career in comedy, knows how to tell dramatic stories with a sharp eye for human idiosyncrasies and social behaviors that repeat themselves.

Ricky Stanicky
With Ricky Stanicky, director Peter Farrelly (more recently known for the Oscar-winning Green Book) returns to the type of comedies for which he is best known, in the vein of films like There's Something About Mary or Dumb and Dumber. This movie follows a group of childhood friends who, after using a fake friend named Ricky as an alibi, have continued using him as an excuse throughout their adult lives to avoid responsibilities. When the truth is at risk of coming to light, the friends decide to hire a dubious actor (John Cena) to play the supposed Ricky Stanicky, a lie that soon reaches uncontrollable and chaotic proportions. It's a somewhat old-fashioned comedy for contemporary sensibilities. However, if you enjoy Cena's comedic talents (which are considerable), or if you liked the mentioned 90s comedies, this movie might be for you.
Adventure
Ernest & Celestine: A Trip to Gibberitia
'Ernest & Celestine: A Trip to Gibberitia' - In the follow-up to their first Academy Award®-nominated adventure, the duo returns to Ernest's home in Gibberitia, a land known for its musicians. But Ernest and Celestine soon discover that music has been banned and it is up to them to restore it.
Samson
After losing the love of his life to a cruel Philistine prince, a young Hebrew with Supernatural strength defends his people, sacrificing everything to avenge his love, his people, and his God.
The Book of Clarence
Biblical epics in the style of Ben-Hur are so recognizable in classic cinema that they have been the subject of witty parodies (most notably, the also classic Monty Python's Life of Brian). Here, director Jeymes Samuel (The Harder They Fall) filters the conventions of these films through a black lens, with a cast led by names like Lakeith Stanfield, Alfre Woodard, David Oyelowo, Omar Sy, and Anna Diop, among others. The Book of Clarence follows a man who, aspiring to be someone in life, decides to capitalize on the popularity of Jesus of Nazareth for his own benefit. Through the biblical cliché, the film examines issues such as black identity, the distortion of faith by organized religions, and the very sense of goodness and compassion. It's somewhat uneven but nonetheless entertaining.
