SlyGuy21 I don't know what it is about "Beerfest" that makes me love it so. Could it be that it takes me back to when I saw it for the first time in my teens? I don't think so, I thought "Super Troopers" was hilarious and I didn't like it as much when I re-watched it a couple of days ago. Could it be the story? Not that either, the story is pretty typical, run-of-the-mill good guys vs bad guys. I think what makes me love "Beerfest" so much is that the characters are great, the writing is hysterical, and it appeals to that inner party animal inside of me. While I've never drunk beer like these guys in my life, the movie's all about having fun and partying. There's no drama, suspense, terror, or explosions, it's just a feel-good comedy. This is only the second movie by Broken Lizard I've seen, and so far it's my favorite. So many jokes, so many memorable scenes, so many laughs, and so much fun. I highly recommend this, it might be dumb, but it's still a great ride. Also, note to self: Watch "Das Boot" as soon as you can.

NateWatchesCoolMovies Ahh, Broken Lizard. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. Super Troopers, The Slamming Salmon, Club Dread, and of course their underrated comedic riot Beerfest. The diverse, imaginative troupe of lovable idiots really understand comedy, and have an almost Monty Python style vibe to their work, with a subversive, wonderfully anti PC aesthetic that always generates laughs. The endless string of Apatow/Rogen stuff is a dime a dozen,but a Broken lizard flick is always a unique, memorable experience. The leader of the pack, Barry Badrinath (Jay Chandrasekhar also is the director) is rallied by his old college drinking buddies (Steve Lemme, Eric Stolhanske, Paul Soter) into training for an intense underground, Munich based posse called literally Beerfest. "Oktoberfest is for tosses and shapeshaggers yells a sloshed member of the rowdy UK team. The American troop is spurred by revenge after being humiliated by their distant cousins who head up the demented German team, (Macgruber himself, and Eric Christian Olsen belting out the worst German accents I've heard since the entire cast of Valkyrie). The movie throws laugh after laugh at us, with a really solid hit to miss ratio. The best thing: the broken lizard team just knows how everyday banter works, that in mundane, regular dude hangout sessions there is as world of comedic banter to be unlocked, as opposed to seriously trying to write timed jokes. The movie is filled to the brim with a chaotic, colorful, delightfully raunchy R rated goofball carnival sensibility that is impossible not to love. These films have a tendency to cast serious, often theatrically trained lofty thespians and throw them into the most lewd, self parodying sideshow versions of themselves ( Bill Paxton in Club Dread, Brian Cox in Super Troopers). Here they have Jurgen Prochnow hamming it up as Baron Wolfgang Von Wolfhause, slyly making fun of his iconic Das Boot role, Cloris Leachman in a slutty old grandma turn, and Donald Sutherland in a priceless cameo. This is the flick you see if you have a sense of humour, and aren't offended easily. It's slightly overlooked which is why I'm posting this. So check it out, ya fvkcin Dëutsch- bags.

tower3492 I have nothing to say about this Movie, except that it is just a junk of unending senseless and totally insane plot to be ever brought on the screen. Comedy (if there was some)was Just for the laughs of Actors (if we can call them)casted in the Movie.The amount of beer the actors consume can very well kill an elephant. Revolving around the same irreversible plot, you don't know when this endless insanity will stop. I watched the whole movie because i rented the DVD, and also hoping some dramatic changes or some comedy till the End.If there is a thing to see in this movie, is "i don't remember anything" even not a beautiful face......Watch this movie if u really don't love your time and life.

csrothwec The breakdown of age range in the voting profile of those who have seen the film says it all.Although I am surprised at the gender breakdown. Amazed that the highest proportion of positive votes comes from 'females under 18', as I cannot imagine a film with a higher 'bimbo count' and one in which (apart from 'gradnmother') the females in the movie are primarily just called upon to reveal their 'Devil's dumplings' and act like cheerleaders as the background to the drinking bouts in the 'beerfest' of the title. A mindless. booze-focused romp, aspiring to the levels of a 'National Lampoon' but coming across more like an alcohol-filled 'Carry On'. If you want lots of beer drinking, smutty jokes, totally over the top national stereotypical portrayals (and 'Devil's dumplings' on show), grab a six- or twelve-pack and watch this (looking away from the screen quickly in acute embarrassment when actors of the calibre of Donald Sutherland appear!). If, however, you are over 16 or 18......
