I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

"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.

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

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.

I try to go into every film I see with a sense of optimism and an open minded approach but films like Beerfest make this really quite difficult. Beerfest is a cynical attempt at a film, a film that, I think, quietly acknowledges how bad it really is but through having no shame whatsoever carries on down its route. But perhaps the makers have an alibi - perhaps they were drunk when they came up with the idea because that would explain the mass inclusion of beer, women and general themes of masculinity and proving oneself through the amount of alcohol one can consume.The film isn't really about anything as much as it is a piece that promotes things like alcoholism and sexism. Beerfest exists purely within the universe of a young, ill-educated and naïve American mind who still thinks getting drunk, girls with big chests (among other things) and funny accents are hilarious – it is Kevin Smith-lite and I don't even like Kevin Smith. The film is a bad advert for American cinema and it is a bad advert for America's wholly view on the rest of the world, particularly Europeans. This is at a time, given the global climate in which we live, in which America need all the friends in the West they can get. People of a European descent are dying in far off lands because of conflicts the Americans have had a hand in kicking off, and the best we can all do is make a film that demonises and humiliates them? How unfortunate.Like I said, Beerfest isn't really about anything more than it is a proving of one's self in an environment naturally hostile through discrimination. It's here that Beerfest advances into whatever little theory it has in the first place. Various Europeans and people of other nations are located at a beer festival in Germany. Americans Jan (Soter) and Todd (Stolhanske) are completely outperformed by some Germans at a drinking contest and are then publicly humiliated by the hating crowd as their dead grandfather's ashes (Donald Sutherland, in a performance that will haunt whatever legacy he'll leave behind) spill all over them. I think it's here the film-makers are trying to get across a statement to do with how they think Europeans see Americans; as these daft and ill-minded youngsters who think they can beat anyone, on any patch and at any game.Humiliated and beaten, they are sent home to lick their wounds. But they aren't finished and propose a 'Team U.S.A.' to compete at the beer festival and win back their pride. Needless to say, the film enters underdog mode. I love the way the American kids attempt to come up with their own reasons for doing what they're doing, apart from the humiliation. It's something to do with Europe and the world's love of football (soccer) and there's a line of dialogue revolving around football and how it acts as a parallel to how Americans are excluded from competition in general, echoing their inability to compete in the drinking contest amongst the world's elite.From here, Jan and Todd recruit Phil Krundle (Heffernan) whose nickname is landfill because of his ability to consume so much food; Barry Badrinath (Chandrasekhar), a male prostitute down on his luck and Charlie Finklestein (Lemme), the stereotypical geek complete with glasses and extensive knowledge in science. Finklestein also adopts the role of the clown in the group, he is the Jew that gives up the respect of his peers and relinquishes the grip on his steady life in scientific study purely so he can compete in a beer drinking contest, additionally, the 'eye of the Jew' sequence when it arrives is done in pretty poor taste.So these guys get their team together in an attempt to win over the beer drinking contest held every year in what the film likes to think as a 'Fight Club with beer games' although to call it that is just an insult to Fight Club. Then again, the film is an insult to a lot of things; particularly common sense. Beerfest is an exercise in wrong doing and ill judged jokes; a glorification of the silly, petty and juvenile humor one hopes people will grow out of when they get to a certain age. Beerfest tries to tackle the results of sex whilst under the influence of alcohol in a manner that has its character see and hear things differently to what's real, but the whole thing is unfortunately played for laughs – how many equally absent minded people will see the film and think 'that looks like fun' more so than 'that looks dodgy' and 'I won't be trying that in a hurry'.The film is an exercise in tedium. It's the sort of film that has its central characters turn down half a million in currency for exchange of a daft beer recipe. Others will try to explain to you the principal of it all but perhaps they should give the rest of the film a watch if they want to give a lecture on principals, rights and common sense. Every single scene in Beerfest is a crummy and distasteful display of unfunny humour, poorly placed racism and blatant sexism and that's not including the frog semen gags; the obese jokes and the anti-Semitism all of which was written and performed by people approaching their forties; which is just utterly, utterly frightening.
