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.

Beerfest (2006): Dir: Jay Chandrasekhar / Cast: Paul Soter, Erik Stolhanske, Kevin Hefferman, Steve Lemme, Jay Chandrasekhar: Satire of attitudes regarding one's love for alcohol or total freedom of responsibility. Paul Soter and Erik Stolhanske play brothers visiting Germany to spread their father's remains only to be humiliated in a beer drinking contest. Shamed they return to America to unite with three friends to form a beer drinking team to challenge the Germans in a year. Setup works due to background information but perhaps the funniest section is the middle act where they go through various training techniques. As expected the jokes are filthy and the climax seems to celebrates drunkenness but director Jay Chandrasekhar brings out the attitude in the subject. He assembles the Broken Lizard comic troop once again. They were in the underrated Club Dread, the overrated Super Troopers, and the downright pathetic car wreck that is The Dukes of Hazzard. Viewers may identify with Soter and Stolhanske as they anticipate redemption after the fall of humiliation. They are back by hilarious performances backed by Kevin Heffernan who we are treated to two sides of, as well as the impressionable Steve Lemme. Jay Chandrasekhar not only directs, but also takes on a role himself. Beer drinking theme used to evoke friendship and is played more as satire. Score: 8 / 10

Unfortunately me and my other half couldn't decide what to see when we got to the cinema. And we ended up seeing this load of tripe! Right from the start I knew I was in for 2 hours of boredom. The "German" spoken in this movie is barely passable. In fact did they even consult anyone who spoke the language when they made the film? Because half of it is made up.The "Das Boot" joke was shocking. Though by that point I had come to expect that type of inane predictability.My boyfriend at least thought it was passable, but only because of all the scantily clad women featured.The best thing about this movie was the outtakes, and they weren't even that good.

this movie was made for guys, mainly teen boys.i enjoy goofy movies, and although beerfest was goofy, i found it rather boring.the accents were awful and the acting left much to be desired.cloris leachman as the grandmother 'whore' did good job. the funniest scenes in movie were with leachman and monique slamming a guys nuts, lol from the parkers TV show.the trick quarters games were funny with the guys. the 2 brothers were boring, but the brainiak and Indian dude were funny.beerest is worth a watch, but if you have a choice of comedies you might want to pick another.
