NMR: Beerfest

I know this movie has already reached cult status with certain viewers, but I just wasn't digging it. Perhaps I needed to be on something to enjoy, but being stone cold sober, I just didn't find it particularly funny. I thought the coolest part was seeing all of the different competitive events that were part of Beerfest, but those are really only seen in the last fifteen minutes of the film. The whole training for the competition, which is the bulk of the film didn't make any sense and just drug on forever. I didn't find any of the protagonists to be funny, nor did they make me have a rooting interest in them. If you want a funny, wacky sports tournament movie, just go re-watch Dodgeball for the millionth time. Rating: **
