'Beerfest' is the fourth movie made by the writing/acting group Broken Lizard consisting of Paul Soter, Erik Stolhanske, Kevin Heffernan, and Jay Chan,,,uh Chan…Chandrasekhar (Yeah, that's it!). After the death of their grandfather, Todd and Jan Wolfhouse set off to Germany during Oktoberfest to deliver his ashes. Although they do become a tad sidetracked with the festivities, they eventually meet the man that will take them to their grandfather's final resting place, which just so happens to be the site of a worldwide beer drinking tournament.

'Beerfest,' like the other movies made by the Broken Lizard crew is not only hilarious, but just so well put together. The characters are genuine, the writing fantastic, the acting amazing, and the beer…oh the beer! This movie, while completely enjoyable sober, is certainly enhanced by a few cervezas (as our neighbors to the south would say). 'Beerfest' actually happens to be number one on my list of the best movies to watch when you are drinking, which can be viewed at http://www.imdb.com/list/ls000527140/. I have read many negative critic reviews for this movie, and I must say to those critics, "with all due respect, are you on crack?!"
