Critic Reviews

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

    Even in a wacky, stupid comedy like this you have to have some thread of a plot.

  • Scott Brown, Entertainment Weekly

    I felt oddly respected: Neck-deep in barley and boobs, marinated in urine, Beerfest panders shamelessly to the 15-year-old in this 30-year-old... without assuming he is a 15-year-old.

  • Bill Zwecker, Chicago Sun-Times

    My best suggestion for people who insist on going to see this immense waste of time? Go drunk.

  • Joanne Kaufman, Wall Street Journal

    Ok, so maybe you don't absolutely have to have a Y chromosome and be 14 years old (or have the mind of a 14-year-old) to appreciate the freshmanic humor that is Beerfest. But, oh, does it help.

  • Scott Bowles, USA Today

    Beerfest plays like a party that's gone on too long, when the buzz has worn off and the hangover starts to set in.

    One of the worst films I have ever seen.

  • Spencer S


    Not as great as Super Troopers, but definitely warrants watching if you're a fan of Jackass or Ashton Kutcher.

  • Conner R


    A fun comedy that doesn't try to trick you into thinking its anything else but a light-hearted story. The plot is completely obvious and ridiculous, but that's kind've why I love it so much. Broken Lizard is always consistent in their quality and making movies for… More

    Just doesn't do it for me, probably Broken Lizard's second best work after Super Troopers. Has some memorable moments.
