What would otherwise be another crappy American frat film made funny by the hilarious German accents, excessive nudity, and memorable
beer games.
Beerfest was filmed in
Albuquerque and had a budget of 12 million dollars. The movie grossed 19 million overall, making it a small box office success.
A sequel, Potfest, was made into a joke at the end of the movie, but was soon demanded by fans of the frat
flick. The creators did not feel that the film was financially successful enough to warrant a sequel, and said that it was likely to be a cartoon (due to the lower budget a cartoon would require).
The movie's infamous "Das
Boot" has become a fan favorite and hell, if you can find someone who actually
saw the movie, it makes for a good chuckle.
I nearly wanted to claw my eyes out watching these stereotypical frat guys make vulgar jokes, but then watched in
glee as the German drinking
team cooked up another devious plan.
When I saw Beerfest, there was only 1 other
guy in the theater.
