What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

David Jenkins Time Out 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. Sep 23, 2006 Full Review James Swanwick Empire Magazine 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. Rated: 3/5 Sep 23, 2006 Full Review Paul Arendt BBC.com While we'd probably be exaggerating to claim that Beerfest is the least funny film ever made, it's undoubtedly top ten material. Rated: 1/5 Sep 5, 2006 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse Rude, vulgar, sophomoric and stupid and I mean that in the best possible way. Rated: 3/5 Jan 31, 2021 Full Review Brian Gibson Film School Rejects Rated: A- Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Jim Lane Sacramento News & Review Rated: 1/5 Aug 7, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

Joseph I Best movie to watch with your drinking buddies, its dumb, vulgar and knows it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/23/24 Full Review Audience Member Bold! New Movie! The most interesting thing is to watch it on the 4th of July. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/05/24 Full Review Jack L Although there are some funny recurring gags, this movie feels like more of a drawn out sketch and is not going to win many fans outside of its target audience Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/10/24 Full Review S R One of my all time go to movies for laughs. Broken Lizard are geniuses, all of them. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/07/24 Full Review Hunter S If you watch this and don't laugh, something is wrong with you. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/21/23 Full Review Chor Best Movie Ever Love The Music, Drinking Contests, Training, Funny Scenes, and Drinking Party This Movie is Crazy, Hilarious, Funny, Good, Great & Amazing Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
