I absolutely love the title, but the movie itself could have been better. Robert Hays stars as an executive of a beer company who is assigned to head a plant they just bought … it happens to be in his hometown and a brewery he once worked for. He comes with many ideas for changes, most of which his old friends and bosses really dislike. Hays is in a tough spot and the audience is allowed to sympathize with him. However, when the company decides to sell the brewery to an incompetent millionaire, it's time for a revolution and everyone's involved! The film lacks enough charm and spirit for a recommendation, but I did enjoy watching it.
