During a trip to Germany to scatter their grandfather's ashes, German-American brothers Todd and Jan discover Beerfest, the secret Olympics of downing stout, and want to enter the contest to defend their family's beer-guzzling honor. Their Old Country cousins sneer at the Yanks' chances, prompting the siblings to return to America to prepare for a showdown the following year.

"Super Troopers" made me laugh a lot. I had to force myself just to get halfway through this snoozer before giving up. Maybe it's funny if you get -- or, better, are -- drunk; as a non-drinker, I just didn't find much of this material amusing. I will say that, for a comedy, it was done reasonably well, so there's that. Maybe ST2 will be better.

It's a competitive beer drinking version of Dodgeball, with more outrageous, over-the-top elements, more slapstick, but fewer laughs.A film like this, a no-holds-barred, free-for-all has a lot of creative freedom to do and say anything, but unfortunately it goes for the lowest common denominator. Lines like "fluid dynamics and quantum bubblenautics" are not funny, pissing in a shoe is not funny, extracting semen from a frog, random German jokes, a beer called Schnitzengiggles, grandma being a whore, etc.A lot of the jokes were already old, but my issue was that the delivery of these jokes was weak. The laughs were few and far between and they rarely had parts where there's a string of laughs, unless you count a fight scene with a fat man and a fat woman (both around 40 years old) as comedy.Some of the jokes fell totally flat - during a team huddle, one of team USA thinks that they are the bad guys and the Germans are the good guys, only to be corrected by the other team members. There's also a German person says "it's like taking black walnut candy from the baby" and someone calling him "Deutschbag." Absurdist - yes. Entertaining, okay. Funny? Not really.

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.

Saw this on Comedy Central while the remote was held hostage by a young nephew. This movie is awful in nearly all aspects, but I can forgive a comedy everything from sexism/racism/nationalism/lack_of_coherent_plot/etc if it's at least funny. It just wasn't, comedy's unforgivable sin.This ranks with the worst of SNL or other frat comedies where you keep looking at the watch and wanting something to happen, like a power outage or something. I mean, give me something to work with, a witty line or funny physical gag. Just look at the quotes page here; dreary and without wit. The writers should do the world a favor and live solely on dehydrated water for a month.
