Forget Will Farrell. He's an amateur. His unscripted brand of forced, improvisational goofiness only works when he has a good script and ensemble cast to back him up (Anchorman, a rare gem in his repetoir). The Broken Lizard comedy team picks up where all other comedians of the past two decades have failed. While movies like American Pie offer watered down, PC gags for the masses, Broken Lizard provides solid laughs only the great comedies of the seventies and eighties delivered. Lizard's brand of bawdy humor, hilarious pop culture and sexual references combined with the right amount of gratuitous nudity and bodily functions is reminiscent of the great comic genius of Mel Brooks and the writing team of Abrahams & Zucker.
Beerfest is the latest Broken Lizard film behind Super Troopers and Club Dread. The critics ripped Club Dread as a failure, but as a horror fan I found entertainment in the on-screen antics of it's cast and am appreciative of their comic take on the slasher genre. They cover all the proverbial bases and clichés, delivering a lot of laughs along the way. Super Troopers is an essential for any comic collection, and Beerfest runs a close second. I dare say Super Troopers and Beerfest are by far the best comedies of their generation.
Beerfest is the Animal House of this decade. An homage to beer and every beer drinking game ever invented, Broken Lizard's chug-a-licious romp through the fictional, secret society behind Oktoberfest reaches Fight Club proportion as their US team faces off against the Germans to regain their heritage to the Wolfhausen Brewery throne. Guest appearances by Chloris Leachman, Mo'Nique and Jurgen Prochnow lend hilarity to the Broken Lizard team--especially Prochnow, Das Boot references in tow! I highly recommend buying the DVD. Extras include a comic lesson on the history of beer, and you'll enjoy the commentary behind the film. I'll put the genius of Broken Lizard up against any of their peers working today in comedy today. They literally blow away the competition on any playing field!
