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.
