Blockbuster is my friend, especially when I can find previously viewed films for cheap! I picked up Beerfest on Saturday which I figured would be a sure thing because:
A) It’s a movie by Broken Lizard.
B) It’s involves the USA vs. Germany in a beer drinking competition.
You can’t go wrong. I wasn’t disappointed. Mike, Trish and I had a barrel of laughs at this absurd film. I wish Philipp were there so he would be yelling at all the depictions of the German culture. Let’s just say that they MAY be inaccurate. The movie revolves around two guys bringing their grandfather’s ashes to Germany and discover that he was the offspring of some major German family who owns the biggest brewery in all the land. But he stole the secret recipe to the world’s best beer and fled to USA. They then discover that all countries are competing in Beerfest – an Olympian style match of beer drinking games and that USA is the only country banned from the games as…they suck at beer drinking. Ha ha! It was good times and the characters were hilarious and the story was great.
Highly recommended over a few beers.
One reply on “Review: BeerFest”
I have to admit I was skeptical about this movie. And, although I wouldn’t describe it as the “best movie ever” it did have some funny one liners. For example, “Deutsch bag”, or Fink’s pen name for an article in Maxim magazine – “E=MC Hammered”. And let’s not forget “I had the greatest job in the world, brewing cold, fresh joy for thousands.” Maybe you have to be a drinker to truly appreciate this film. I definitely thought Tenacious D was better but I do have a soft spot for Jack Black.
