Critics Consensus

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

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

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.

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.

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