After losing a secret and centuries-old beer-games competition badly, two brothers return to America, assemble an impressive team of brew-lovers and return to Germany for a rematch. But first they must battle their own demons, as well as a bunch of big, blond, German jerks who want to destroy the team before they can even make it back to Munich.

The bloated running time (110 minutes!) certainly doesn't do the film any favors...

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.

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

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.

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.

...aggressively, rampantly, jaw-droppingly dull.

Broad strokes comedy in which fat characters are hot dog eating champions and Germans are a beer-chugging cross between Captain von Trapp, Hitler and Heidi

Five pounds of (funny) stuff in a 12-pound bag.

The Broken Lizard crew amuse each other with enough banal antics (can anything else account for this film running nearly two hours?) that the sober viewer suffers enormous gaps of boredom between good jokes.

It's not for everyone, but this delivers pretty much everything you could be expecting from a film called Beerfest.

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

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