Everything but the beard was tame

By Joe Hasler | Sep. 5, 2006

The first day of school used to be such a big deal. My mom would take me to Kohl's to help me pick out a schnazzy outfit. I would devote countless hours to arranging, then re-arranging my school supplies based on shape and color and NBA team logos. Once all the important business was put to rest, I'd climb into bed for a few winks as the nervous anticipation of finally being a junior in college kept me from getting any real sleep.

Broken Lizard’s ‘Beerfest’ a fun, frothy brew-haha

By Joe Pudas | Sep. 4, 2006

This generation doesn't have a definitive comedy troupe. Our grandparents had the Marx Brothers and our parents had Monty Python, but we've got hardly any official troupes to call our own. The group that comes the closest is Broken Lizard, who have already crafted one genuine cult classic (""Super Troopers""), but their subsequent efforts have been less than stellar (the spotty ""Club Dread"" and, although it doesn't technically count as a Broken Lizard movie, the abominable ""Dukes of Hazzard""). Their new movie, ""Beerfest,"" is about as sophomoric as immature comedy comes, but it is a sloppy, often hilarious return to form.
