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.

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 ... Read More

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 ... Read More

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 ... Read More

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.
Rating: - 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 ... Read More
