While it didn't quite spark a trend in chug-a-lug brew comedies, Beerfest is the kind of zany time-killer that's a lot funnier if you're within reach of a six-pack and Doritos. In other words, this is yet another low-brow laff-a-thon from the Broken Lizard gang (Super Troopers) that's likely to draw a bigger audience on DVD than it did in theaters, especially since there's a lot of duds (and flat suds) to sit through while waiting for the next big beer-belly-laugh. It's the kind of movie that thinks masturbating frogs are funny (OK, you decide), while serving up a gang of guzzling Americans (the aforementioned Broken Lizard troupe, who also write this stuff with director Jay Chandrasekhar) who compete in an epic beer-drinking contest against the nefarious German challenger Baron Wolfgang Von Wolfhausen (played by German actor Jurgen Prochnow, whose starring role in Das Boot inspires one of this movie's better jokes). When it's not trying to top itself in terms of sheer stupidity and juvenile humor, Beerfest satisfies its target audience (basically, frat-rats and party animals) with some gratuitously bare-breasted babes, rampant consumption of alcohol, and the welcomed appearance of Cloris Leachman, who sort-of reprises her 'Frau Blucher' persona from Young Frankenstein. So basically what you've got here is a dim-witted but energetic comedy called Beerfest that delivers exactly what you'd expect from a movie with that title.

Rating:  - Proast!
Yes that's right everybody "5 stars". Ya it's pure trash. So? Sometimes it feels great to lower your standards, and really underachieve. Some of the nicest and classiest peoples I know have those qualities. O.K. I have to admit the heros in this drama drink a lot of beer, copious amounts one might say: chugging, drinking, shotgunning, gulping and shooting lot's of Beer. Beer drinking for sport; in celebration, in remorse and out of respect. Drinking beer under social conditions, and with personally destructive results. Beer drinking training. And Yes, a beer drowning (no surprise). The plethora of hangovers are uncountable, some more creative in their debauchery than others. But I admire how these plucky individuals fight against all odds, to better themselves. One brave soul sacrifices a lucritive carrier as a male prostitute. There are gratuitous shots of [...], profanity, male nudity and more profanity. But Cloris Leachman's throttling of a kielbasa is one of the finest moments ever put to celloloid. After all, aren't we all beer drinking losers, subject to even the slightest whim from our loins. God knows I am.
Rating:  - Who Finds This Garbage Funny?
A friend of mine loaned me this DVD and I didn't look at the box too closely...so I found out way too late that I had suffered through another Broken Lizard movie.
(Actually, I just checked the DVD box and they very wisely left off any reference to the Broken Lizard "comedy" troupe).
SUPER TROOPERS was horrible. CLUB DREAD was lame. Now this. Are these guys ever going to get any better? Have they ever done anything remotely good? Was there something before movies or did they start as a mediocre hacks who just keep making movies?
I see four-star reviews here, which means two things:
One, you're a brain-dead alcoholic/substance abuser who can amused by anything indulging in your chosen addiction. Get help. The morons behind this film are pandering to your vice and addiction and they're only adding to the sad downward spiral of your life. This is your intervention. Go to rehab. Do something.
Or second, you have no taste in comedy. Either through youth or just avoiding good comedies, you're settling for human waste like this. There are great comedies. Watch them. Expose yourself to older films (older than the past five years, I mean).
I've given these losers three chances to entertain me and they haven't done it yet.
Take their cameras and crews away from them and hand them over to some high school class clowns from anywhere.
They can't do any worse.
Rating: - One of my favorite moviews
I love this movie. It's baudy, bold and beautiful. They are having "barrels" of fun, and so do we when we watch it. Pure enjoyment.
Rating: - Thank you Broken Lizard
If you enjoy friendship and beer, you will love this movie! The Broken Lizard team has created a masterpiece with Beerfest. I can relate with the team from Colgate, having just turned 40 myself, with the past memories of friends and beer drinking games. Especilally our competitions. But, friends are now few and far away. I have purchased my Das Boot for drinking as I religiously watch Beerfest late Friday and Saturday night. (I have purchased both the full screen and the wide screen unrated editions to mix it up every week.) This movie has the perfect story, directing, cgi, and above all cast.
Recently, my wife has been diagnosed with cancer. Needless to say we have gone through and continue to go through a great deal. This movie is important to me as it allows me to escape and remember good ole fashion fun. So thank you Jay, Kevin, Steve, Paul, and Erik. As Barry says in the movie, "You guys are my family."
Rating: - Pathetic attempt at pointless humor
What was I thinking when I picked this up? I like stuff like Caddyshack, The History of the World, Harold and Kumar and really crass stuff in general but this movie is just a pointless attempt at humor. Somehow the characters just aren't funny.
