Oh, these guys. This installment of Broken Lizard is one of my favorites, so watching this was a good time. Honestly, binge drinking has never been as funny as when these guys are "training" for the big Beerfest competition in Germany.
What I love most about the movie is the sentimental plot, where these two brothers are competing in Beerfest against their evil German cousins to prove a point: their grandfather was the rightful heir to the family brewery and their great-grandmother (a priceless Cloris Leachman) is not a whore. This adds an almost heartwarming dimension to the plot so it's not just about getting trashed and playing beer pong.
As usual, the five Broken Lizard members characterize their roles perfectly, from a nearly unrecognizable Steve Lemme as nerdy Finkelstein to the ex-frat boy Landfill played by Kevin Heffernan. These guys are seriously talented and always fun to watch. Definitely recommended if you want to laugh out loud.
This one ties "Super Troopers" for best Broken Lizard in my mind.
