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.
