Return of the Lizards! 
2008-11-20
Beerfest (Jay Chandresakhar, 2006)
First off, so you don't have to read the rest of this review: if you've never been fond of Broken Lizard's movies, then by all means, skip this one. It's everything that makes Broken Lizard great condensed.
Okay, now that the rest of them are gone and I'm preaching to the choir, it's everything that makes Broken Lizard great condensed. There's intensely stupid humor, consumption of mass quantities of alcohol (to the point where a disclaimer is attached to the beginning of the movie), gratuitous nudity, no small amount of toilet humor, and major stars whose appearances will leave you wondering "how on Earth did he get roped into being in this piece of crap?". Ah, Broken Lizard, how we love you.
In this most recent (as I write this) offering from the Lizards, Todd (Erik Stolhanske) and Jan (Pete Soter) Wolfhouse travel to Germany to inter their grandfather's ashes in the family crypt. While there, they discover that their grandfather's family, from whom he fled as a young man (carrying the secret family beer recipe), are the driving force behind Beerfest, an underground Oktoberfest version of Fight Club. The brothers, prodigious drinkers both, enter the contest and are humbled by their German cousins, who laugh them out of the competition hall. Suitably fired up, the two vow to put together an American drinking team and return the next year to claim the title that is rightfully theirs. (Not surprisingly, the team is composed of the rest of the Lizard crew--Jay Chandresakhar, Kevin Heffernan, and Steve Lemme.) Meanwhile, the Germans have waited decades to get the secret family recipe back, and will do so at any cost.
At heart, Beerfest is every dumb, inspirational sports movie you've ever seen, and the Lizards know how to both parody the tropes and use them to great effect. (Given the choice between this and Talladega Nights? Well, there is no choice, really.) And that's what Broken Lizard do best, the same way they did it to the slasher genre in Club Dread. And if you like that sort of parody, this should be right up your alley. *** ½

I loved Super Troopers, so this has all the characters from that movie in a movie about drinking. What's not to like about it. It's stupid comedy, don't expect any great story lines or dramatic scenes. It's just a fun drinking movie.

nonsense 2008-10-08
In no way what-so-ever should anyone take this movie seriously. If you don't- and you just watch it- and can take it for what it is... you will enjoy it. The whole story line is funny but not likely.. This movie is over the top and full of nonsense and classic stereotypes. These guys are drunk and stupid and would literally die if they consumed this much beer! Its not a horrible movie but I didn't and wouldn't pay top dollar for it. Try to catch it on TV if you can
Here a mug,there a mug everybody chug-a-lug!!! A great Blu Ray disc!!! 2008-09-27

Male Bonding at its Best 2008-09-02
My best friend growing up came to visit for a long weekend. After a couple of trips to the Vegas Strip we were all partied out. Figuring it was cheaper to spend a night at home we bought a few movies including Beerfest. Watching Beerfest was like reliving our early 20's all over again. Chugging contest yep we did that, beer pong check that one off the list, yards of beer..but of course. This was a movie that could easily have been written by any of our friends. There are very few movies that were meant to be accompined by copius amounts of beer but this is one of them. I would put this movie in the same cult like status as Old School, Caddyshack, or Stripes...if these movies appeals to you than Beerfest is a movie for you. Men just dont expect your wife to appreciate this movie as much as your buddy.
Proast! 2008-07-19
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.
Who Finds This Garbage Funny? 
2008-06-20
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.
One of my favorite moviews 2008-04-28
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.
