YMMV / The Greatest Beer Run Ever

• Audience-Alienating Premise: While the actual film is a lot more nuanced and deep than the trailers would suggest, the surface-level premise of a heroic biopic about a guy who puts himself and his friends in danger by jumping into a war zone just to deliver beers turned off a lot of viewers.
• Critical Dissonance: Critic reviews for the film were mostly negative, with most citing the film's uneven tone and the Captain Obvious Aesop as reasons. Audience reception on the other hand was overwhelmingly positive, with viewers citing Zac Efron's surprisingly good performance and great comedic scenes as highlights. The Rotten Tomatoes scores for the film currently sit at 42% for critics and 91% for audiences.
• He Really Can Act: Zac Efron is a former teen heartthrob known mostly for light hearted comedies. Here he has some major Character Development in a Dramedy with a strong emphasis on the drama.
