Beerfest Review
Rated: R
2006

Farva, Mac, Ramathorn, and the rest of the Vermont State Highway Patrol are back, but this time around the setting is a little bit different. Instead of liters of cola (do we make liter of cola?), gigantic cotton candy, the repeater, and Team Ramrod we have glass boots of beer, ginormous amounts of summer sausage, beer pong, and Team USA. Instead of fighting with the Spurbury Police, the boys from Broken Lizard are tangling with the Germans on their home turf at the ultra-secret, underground worldwide beer drinking competition known only as Beerfest. Not since the epic film that was Old School has their been a movie that caters directly to the college student demographic, and folks let me just tell you this movie is flatout hilarious.

What makes Beerfest such a stellar comedy? Besides the obvious fact that all the guys from Broken Lizard work and act so well together, it's truly the other castings that make this film a winner. You've got the hilarious, SNL experience in Will Forte, along with the outstanding talent of Eric Christian Olsen (Not Another Teen Movie, Dumb and Dumberer) and Nat Faxon (Kip from Orange County, tons of recent commercials). Beyond the phenomenal casting job, the mass amounts of stupid, drunken humor easily carry this comedy into college student Hall of Fame collection.

Lots of films hit theaters in hopes of targeting college aged crowds, yet few are able to really leave a mark. Beerfest will make every college student laugh his or her ass off, it's as simple as that. Well, unless of course you happen to be one of those college students who consider a "crazy night" to be a six pack of Smirnoff Ice and a couple dozen rounds of Halo. Drinking games, chugging beer, lots of unwarranted but welcomed nudity, and the cast alone make this film one of the funniest I've seen in a long, long time. Quite possibly, dare I say, even better than Super Troopers. Go see this film tonight; don't pass it up or you'll regret it.
