BEERFEST (2006)
SYNOPSIS
The Broken Lizard comedy group returns to the big
screen in a new comedy that proves revenge, like
beer, is best served cold.
When American brothers Todd and Jan Wolfhouse
(Erik Stolhanske and Paul Soter) are sent to
Germany on a mission to spread their grandfather's
ashes at Oktoberfest, they stumble upon a
super-secret, centuries-old, underground beer
games competition-Beerfest-the Olympics of beer
drinking. At Beerfest, the brothers receive a less
than warm welcome from their German cousins,
the Von Wolfhausens, who shun Todd and Jan,
slander their heritage, and worst of all, drink them
under the table.
Vowing to return in a year to defend their family
honor, the Wolfhouse boys assemble a ragtag
dream team of beer drinkers and gamers: Barry
Badrinath (Jay Chandrasekhar), a consummate
skills player with a dark past; Phil Krundle (Kevin
Heffernan) AKA "Landfill," the one-man chugging
machine; and Charlie "Fink" Finklestein (Steve
Lemme), the lab tech with a Masters degree in All
Things Beer. With the inspiration of their Great Gam
Gam (Cloris Leachman) and the support of her
caretaker, Cherry (Mo'Nique), this "Magnificent
Five" train relentlessly, using their hearts, minds
and livers to drink faster, smarter and harder than
they ever have before.
