My expectations couldn't have been any lower going into this film. Looking at the marquee of movie choices, I was forced to pick from Beerfest or Accepted. Talk about lose-lose. So I went with Beerfest, a tale of competitive binge drinking contests mixed with poignant points of social satire. The film relied more heavily on shock value and middle-school humor then story, characters, plots, and dialogue. Surprising to me was how much this film was able to make me laugh. I think 'guilty pleasure' is term that best describes what I was feeling while watching this film. The characters were adsurd enough to keep my attention and had some very witty lines. The plot was enough to hold the movie together stealing elements from Rocky and The Karate Kid where you have a training montage that inevitably takes you to victory over your opponent.
I wouldn't recommend this film to anyone over the age of 14 who might have trouble getting in since it is rated R.
Rating: 2.5 out of 10
