Review of Beerfest

Beerfest (2006)
7/10
Shows what most men contain but are to afraid to admit.

I actually had two German weissbeers while watching this movie and had a really, really good time watching this flick.

Its infantile, incorrect, immature, ridiculous and how I loved it. I will not give a synopsis of the movie as it really doesn't matter what the story is about. What matters is, that the movie focuses on some of the aspects of living that we think of as teenage-like and embarrassing but still some of us (including me) still have a soft spot for:

Drinking beer and while doing that ending up in all kinds of weird situations.

Drinking beer and getting wasted.

Drinking beer and having the worst of hangovers that you could possible imagine.

Drinking beer and doing things that you so much regret when you sober up.

The female body.

I think that one of the reasons that a movie like this emerges is, that in this day and age we are so much expected to behave in a rational, controlled way and never stop thinking about our career and responsibility that the other side of our personality that contains the "letting go" and not caring about anything but having a good time is hidden away in the dark (again I am talking about myself).

I really don't think that any girl would be able to understand the humor in this movie unless they are Australian or British.

This is not a great movie but it worked for me because I could recognize my own darker sides so many times in this film - and because I could it made me believe that other guys have them too.

Cheers....

Simon

Ps. When you read reviews that gives max score check to see if the user has made more than one review. If not consider the possibility of a lobbyist. If you agree consider putting this post scriptum at the bottom at your own reviews.
