Two brothers (Erik Stolhanske, Paul Soter) from America happen upon a secret and centuries-old beer-games competition during a visit to Germany's Oktoberfest. After losing badly, they return to America, assemble an impressive team of brew-lovers and return to Germany for a rematch.

Critics Consensus

Beerfest features some laugh-inducing gags, but is too long and the pacing too uneven to form a coherent, functioning comedy.

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.

3/5

Fans of Broken Lizard's previous work will enjoy this beer-fuddled effort; for anyone else it has its moments, but is best watched through beer-goggles.

While we'd probably be exaggerating to claim that Beerfest is the least funny film ever made, it's undoubtedly top ten material.

Rude, vulgar, sophomoric and stupid and I mean that in the best possible way.

A top 10 comedy with nuerous memorable lines. The audience sees it, but once again the movie critics couldn't see this is an instant classic.

The same crew responsible for Super troopers it's an enjoyable, rude and crude comedy that knows what is and makes for a good time.

Only the true beer drinkers can appreciate this artistic masterpiece!

Okay, I gave it only a 3 out of 10. I watched it over the weekend and I think this might have been my 3rd viewing including when I originally saw it in the movie theaters. Now, it's a really stupid and dumb movie with a pretty decent cast. I forgot why I liked this movie despite only giving it 3 stars - it's funny and it made me laugh. Drink beer like I did this past Saturday while watching this movie. It'll get you in the mood. Cheers.

It drags in the middle when the drunks go into training to win the Beerfest competition of drinking games held annually in Germany but the rest of it has a kind of socially-unsanctioned spontaneous goofy humour that will appeal to the adolescent in those of us with one still inside us.
