Beerfest is a film that appears to have been conceived on the back of a beermat and its trashy direction, nonexistent plot and dismal comic mugging would seem to suggest that preparations progressed no further.

Fans of Broken Lizard's previous work will enjoy this beer-fuddled effort; for anyone else it has its moments, but is best watched through beer-goggles.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 23, 2006

While we'd probably be exaggerating to claim that Beerfest is the least funny film ever made, it's undoubtedly top ten material.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 5, 2006

When the movie ended, I needed a drink, but not for the reasons that the movie intended.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 2, 2006

Even in a wacky, stupid comedy like this you have to have some thread of a plot.

I felt oddly respected: Neck-deep in barley and boobs, marinated in urine, Beerfest panders shamelessly to the 15-year-old in this 30-year-old... without assuming he is a 15-year-old.

| Original Score: B+ | Aug 25, 2006

My best suggestion for people who insist on going to see this immense waste of time? Go drunk.

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Aug 25, 2006

Ok, so maybe you don't absolutely have to have a Y chromosome and be 14 years old (or have the mind of a 14-year-old) to appreciate the freshmanic humor that is Beerfest. But, oh, does it help.

Beerfest plays like a party that's gone on too long, when the buzz has worn off and the hangover starts to set in.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 25, 2006

A movie that feels as if it was conceived, executed, edited and ultimately released by people in an advanced state of gassy inebriation.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 25, 2006

Beerfest is an excuse to get happily dumb and decadent, which would be great if the movie was actually funny.

If you like to drink Pabst Blue Ribbon beer, you'll probably like this movie. If you're a cognac person, the scene where the great-grandmother performs a sex act on a sausage may not be refined enough for your tastes.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 25, 2006

This movie will be as essential to the DKE house as a Sharpie for writing jokes on a passed-out brother; it's pure guy humor.

Among the cast, Chandrasekhar is easily the funniest of the Lizards, though in fairness, each has his moments. The movie does, too; just expect them to shrink exponentially depending on your level of sobriety.

Beerfest features more beer consumed on screen than any movie since Strange Brew, while simultaneously offering less in the way of redeeming social value than Freddy Got Fingered.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 25, 2006

Watching endless scenes of sport drinking gets tiresome and by the time the film reaches the final competition, you might feel too bloated to laugh.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 25, 2006

Scene by scene it's funny enough, but it goes exactly where you expect it to go, which makes the last third a lot less funny than the first two-thirds.

| Original Score: C+ | Aug 25, 2006

The script, cowritten by all the members, is too sloshy and bleary-eyed to throw any darts that hit anything but the wall.

Beerfest is a one-joke movie ("Hey what if the Olympics had cool competitions like beer pong?") and the level to which it sustains that one joke is almost admirable.

Beerfest may have good lineage, but that doesn't always make for a good movie. In any case, there it is -- all bloated and glassy-eyed and ready for a swig.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 25, 2006
