What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this intentionally stupid, vulgar comedy features incessant beer drinking. Characters are frequently drunk, hung over, throwing up, burping, and peeing in public urinals. Most scenes are set in bars, at parties, or at drinking competitions. Several scenes feature topless women and/or women engaged in sexual activity with lusty or drunken men. Crude humor and language are featured throughout the film, including verbal and visual references to sex/ejaculation, prostitution, Jewishness, obesity, masturbation, flatulence, funerals, social expectations, and boundaries. Characters also smoke cigarettes, cigars, and pot.
Violence:
The film opens with a suicide; frequent slapstick/drunken violence (including competitors slapping and hitting each other); crowd chaos (running and falling); off-screen shootings; following a drinking bout, Barry appears naked and bloody next to a dead deer whose neck he has apparently ripped open (a reference to werewolf movies); murder by drowning in a beer vat.
Sex:
Frequent sexual slang and shots of topless girls, as well as one shot of a man's naked bottom; Barry works as a street prostitute (charging money to "touch it," etc.) alongside a squeaky "gay" prostitute); fantasy and flashback sequences show Barry having raunchy sex; another lively sex scene in a barn; frequently expressed concern that Great Gam Gam is a whore; lab workers stimulate frogs to extract sperm (workers' heads bob, the ejaculate is green); simulated sex with a puppet; references to "BJs" and "HJs" Great Gam Gam "warms up" a sausage in a sexual way.
Language:
Multiple f-words; frequent slang for sexual activity/genitals ("bugger," "boink," "tossers and sheep-shaggers," "pork," etc.); frequent uses of other crude language ("hell," "s--t," "ass," "bitch").
Consumerism:
Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Beer and more beer (plus some other liquor and ram's urine-drinking); Finklestein smokes pot (and pot smoking pops up again later); cigars and cigarettes are smoked.

Beerfest
Funny movie, crude humor but worth the watch. I dont think there is really anything wrong with the movie. I mean the name itself should be a sign for parents to not let their kids watch it until they reach the age of reason.

MAN this movie is stupid!
I got the TV-edited version, but still the language was relentless, it practically worshiped beer and had side effects that were reviewed as comical! But all aside, I'm a sucker for dumb comedies, and this gives you a good chuckle at the pure stupidity of it.

Amazing movie!
i love the broken lizard guys and this is one of the best movies! not only is it funny, and appeals to many audiences, but it is not that bad for kids, say over 13 to watch as long as parents explain the bad language and excessive drinking to their kids, there is nothing really bad about this movie.
