Beerfest / USA / 2006

Beerfest appears to subscribe to that deplorable ilk of comedy, those films that parody other films so generally their titles function doubly as identifications of genre. (Most of these, I think, are courtesy of the Wayans.) This practice, as Beerfest demonstrates with unexpected ingenuity, is as imaginative as the film’s inspirations. Sure, it’s a film about a bunch of dudes in a clandestine drinking contest, but I doubt this film would have been made if it weren’t for Das Boot, Barton Fink, or City Slickers II.
