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.

nonsense
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!!!
This is a great blu Ray Disc of the Broken Lizard hit "Beerfest", this is the unrated version!!! Has a great transfer of the film,as well a keg of some great extras!!! As well as the Broken Lizard comedy team,some great all time actinbg talent also appears such as Donald Sutherland,and Cloris Leachman in a role that has to be seen to be beleived!!! A great party film!!! If you liked "Super Troopers" than you will probably like this one as well!!! A very fun movie for the adults,NOT for the kiddies!!! A+

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.
