    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Based on the book of the same name. A memoir written by John "Chick" Donohue and J.T. Molloy about Donohue's eight weeks in Vietnam delivering beer to his friends and other soldiers in combat.
    • Goofs
      The official poster for the film show three Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawks flying in the background, but these helicopters were not in service in 1968 when the film was set. The correct helicopters to be represented should have been the Bell UH-1 Iroquois "Huey".
    • Quotes

      Chickie Donohue: Don't be dumb, Arthur. This ain't a war no more. It's mass murder.

      Coates: That's what war is, Chick. It's one giant crime scene.

    • Crazy credits
      SPOILER: at the end of the movie, we find out what happened to Tommy Minogue. The info reads as follows: "Tommy Minogue willingly sacrificed his life to save the lives of his commanding officer and the soldiers in his company. There is a grass roots effort to award him the medal of honor."

    A fun but eye-opening look at the Vietnam war
    The Greatest Beer Run Ever is one of the best war films I have ever watched! Not just because this happened in a real life story, but how Chickie, (Zach Efron) got the wildest, craziest idea to go to Vietnam, just to bring some beers from America to his friends, who were in the middle of the war!

    It's funny at first because of Chickie's character, but after he realized what's really going on in Vietnam, it gets heart-breaking.

    The story will give you good lessons in life, so this is definitely a must watch movie!

    Zach Efron definitely nailed it!

    The music was indeed good too, by the way!

    A very rewatchable movie.
