  • Starring: Anthony DeSando, Artie Lange, Ralph Macchio
  • Summary: 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.

    A welcome return to the raunchy hey-day of comedy, a true guy's film.

    Sloppy but unconcerned about it, pic offers a trip back in time to a pre-PC and feminist era when men were sexist Neanderthals, women supported them from the sidelines and the guy with the biggest mouth scored.

    Yet another ode to the pleasures of overindulgence. The experience of watching this loosely plotted comedy set in the suburbs of New Jersey is somewhat akin to spending a nice summer day playing softball with your friends. Only without the sun, the fresh air, the exercise or the fun.

    The sort of lowbrow sports comedy best enjoyed on a 50-inch screen with a six-pack, a bucket of wings and a fast-forward button.

    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?… Expand

    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.… Expand

    Has some truly funny moments, but the script coulda been punched up.

    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.… Expand
