Beer, broads and baseball combine with hilarious results in Artie Lange's Beer League, an over-the-top comedy about a group of misfits whose weekly softball games seem to have a lot more to do with getting into fights for macho dominance than hitting home runs. (Echo Bridge Entertainment, LLC)

Sean F gave it an8:
I really think it's wrong for the critics to trash this one. It reminded me a lot of 80's comedies and was more raunchy and edgy then a lot of the safe Hollywood comedies that are made today. Not everything about this movie worked, but a lot of it did. Anyone who likes Artie Lange, baseball, and Artie Lange's humor in general should enjoy this. If you're a woman, person of color, homosexual, pretty much anyone non-white male come equipped with a thick skin.
C.B. gave it a6:
Has some truly funny moments, but the script coulda been punched up.
Jason J. gave it a4:
Artie Lange's standup is very good. I'm surprised this movie wasn't funnier. There were a few very well-timed, good jokes/situations, but they were too few and far between. Artie missed out on an opportunity to really make a huge movie. We all wanted to love it. We all wanted to become part of the cult. Unfortunately, the movie isn' t good enough for a cult following. It wasn't even good enough to rent.
Chris W. gave it a10:
Beer League is a classic throwback to the comedies I grew-up with. Consider this in the same catagory as Cannonball run, Airplane, and even the more recent Old School.The twist on this movie is that they all speak like normal people (from Jersey that is). But the language is exactly how normal "guys" speak with one another. It's not considered "Politically Incorrect;" it's real talk. This movie was really funny and I laughed really hard. Great writing with great jokes. What more could you ask for in a comedy?
Robin Quivers gave it a6:
I did not love this movie at all! Nor did Mister X! But I love Artie and, since I work with him, I give it an 8!
Rufus H. gave it a10:
Beer League is definitely not the greatest movie ever made, but it IS exactly what I had expected, and since it lived up to those expectations, I'll give it a 10!!
Jason S. gave it a0:
Don't fall for the Stern family (including Roeper) spin that this is an ‘OK’ film, it's even worse than you've heard.
