Beerfest (2006)

There sure are a lot of better movies out there right now. But, this one is not that bad.

There is not a whole lot that can be said about this film. Basically, the title explains it all. Basically, the film is about a couple of guys who made a trip to Germany to spread the ashes of their father. This trip leads them from the “tame” Oktoberfest (sp), to the more surreal Beerfest that takes place in the German underground.

Upon their first visit they are destroyed by the defending German champions of the contest that happen to be their cousins. They return home, and gather a team of the best beer games people they know and begin training for the following year’s Beerfest.

The film is relatively low brow, but it did mostly stay away from the pathetic humor that I was expecting (flatulence jokes, etc…). I would say more of the jokes tend towards the “frat boy” style.

The film was ok, and if you are into drinking heavily, or did so in college it would probably be a good time.
