I just saw the commercial for this. It looks like it may be one of those dumb, funny movies.


IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0486551/

http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809267350/details

When American brothers Todd and Jan Wolfhouse travel to Germany to spread their grandfather's ashes at Oktoberfest, they stumble upon a super-secret, centuries old, underground beer games competition--"Beerfest," the secret Olympics of beer drinking. The brothers receive a less than warm welcome from their German cousins, the Von Wolfhausens, who humiliate Todd and Jan, slander their relatives, and finally cast them out of the event. Vowing to return in a year to defend their country and their family's honor, the Wolfhouse boys assemble a ragtag dream team of beer drinkers and gamers: Barry Badrinath, the consummate skills player with a dark past; Phil Krundle (aka Landfill), a one-man chugging machine; and Charlie "Fink" Finklestein, the lab tech with a PhD in 'All Things Beer'. This Magnificent Five train relentlessly, using their hearts, minds and livers to drink faster, smarter and harder than they ever have before. But first they must battle their own demons--as well as a bunch of big, blond, German jerks who want to destroy the team before they can even make it back to Munich.

I don't like movies about beer or football.

Unless they are done with the best taste in mind....I get crabby. I take beer and football very seriously.

I used to get mad when I saw people drinking Bud Light...I've let that go.

just watched this - predictable, stupid, low brow humor

and I enjoyed it

not the worlds best movie, but if you are in the frame of mind to spend a couple hours taking nothing seriously and just laughing at sophmoric highjinx, this is definitely worth it

not as good as supertroopers - but pretty funny

Sums it up pretty well, I'd say.

I just watched it. It reminded me of one of those 80’s flicks that I used to stay up late to watch on HBO when I was a kid. It can be hilarious if you’re in the right mood, or really dumb if you aren’t. I was surprised to see Ralf Moeller in it (Hagen from Gladiator), that guy is gigantic.
