Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

THBrad89 I really liked Super Troopers but this is better - hilarious premise. I am shocked at the disparity of reviews on IMBD - either hated or loved. The average rating may be in the 6s but the median score is probably an 8. Suggest IMBD add the median score as a grade - would be more telling.

qanjak 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.

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.

Jason Daniel Baker Two American brothers in Germany to spread their dead father's ashes encounter an ancient drinking contest and round up their old college buddies to compete. This is the latest in the series of movies produced by the Broken Lizards comedy troop.Some movies are critic proof. That does not necessarily mean that they are so bizarre that critics can't figure them out. Sometimes it means that the flick in question is geared specifically towards an audience that never reads movie reviews. This is the same audience that went to see Dukes Of Hazzard (same director who made it too).The question every film critic is offered by a movie like Beerfest is why even bother to review it? You'd have to sit through almost 2 hours of crass humor about power drinking, frog masturbation and barmaid cleavage then write a review no one will likely read. The question is somewhat akin to that whole "if a tree falls in the forest..." philosophical query.Another question. How did cinematic greats like Donald Sutherland, Jurgen Prochnow and Cloris Leachman get in this movie? Talk about slumming. Sutherland at least had the good sense to go uncredited.Sadly some of us have our masochistic streak and do not let years of being scarred by seeing awful movies stop us from seeing more awful movies. Some of us go in and watch as our suspicions are confirmed. Sometimes...in fact quite often, it is agonizing to be proved right.In the case of sophomoric comedies like this one I can tell you that I started cringing at this type of humour well before I was twenty and I loathe it even more that I am past 30.Stupid, crass, lewd, childish...shall I continue? I don't think I need to...sheesh!
