Jay (Soter) and Todd (Stolhanske) are asked by Great Gam Gam (Leachman) to take their father’s ashes back to Germany and spread them at Oktoberfest. They are all too happy to do this, as it will give them a chance to drink it up with the Germans. Once there though, they end up at a “Fight Club”-style drinking competition called Beerfest. Beerfest is sponsored by Baron Wolfgang von Wolfhausen (Prochnow), their estranged uncle. Attempting to represent America and defend their father’s honor, they enter the competition and are humiliated. Upon returning to the States, they recruit college drinking buddies Fink (lemme), Landfil (Heffernan), and Barry (Chandrasekhar) to back to next year’s Beerfest and bring home the gold for the US.

“Beerfest” is the latest from comedy troupe Broken Lizard, and they have made a raunchy, entertaining film. This film is laugh out loud funny at times, and although it will not win any awards, it does not disappoint. If this movie sounds remotely funny to you, chances are that you will enjoy it. This is definitely one of the funnier movies of the year.
