“Prepare for the ultimate chug of war.”
The brothers receive a less than warm welcome from their German cousins, the Von Wolfhausens, who humiliate Todd and Jan, slander their relatives, and finally cast them out of the event. Vowing to return in a year to defend their country and their family’s honor, The Wolfhouse boys assemble a ragtag dream team of beer drinkers and gamers: Barry Badrinath, the consummate skills player with a dark past; Phil Krundle (AKA Landfill), a one-man chugging machine; and Steve ‘Fink’ Finklestein, the lab tech with a PhD in All Things Beer. This Magnificent Five train relentlessly, using their hearts, minds and livers to drink faster, smarter and harder than they ever have before. 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. Revenge, like beer, is best served cold.”
Volunteer reviewer needed for this movie — Request this assignment See list of Relevant Issues—questions-and-answers.   Negative - Beerfest is a pretty vile film, and while it's funny in a juvenile kind of way, it's no Monty Python revival. I was talked into seeing this movie with some friends from work, and, yes, I admit to laughing a lot. The humor was crude, campy and occasionally clever, but overall that the film comes off as kind of an over the top self-parody. Sadly, this movie—released just in time for freshman orientation across the nation—will probably inspire a death or two surrounding the consistent social ill of binge drinking, which this film dismisses by its very release. Negative - I went to see this movie with a group of friends. I was VERY glad my parents didn't come with us. I did get a few laughs from this movie, but wouldn't see it again. The only really good thing I can say about the movie is, the Sons were trying to save their family name, and please their dead father. We all should work hard to keep our family name. |
