Beerfest (2006)

Male Bonding at its Best

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. September 2, 2008

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. July 19, 2008

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. June 20, 2008

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. April 28, 2008

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."
