Been waiting to see the movie since Artie started talking about it on the Stern show. It was about what I expected, a bunch of drinking with buddies, playing softball and trying to get laid. The getting laid part was a bit far fetched because Artie plays a fat loser but hey it's his movie so I can't begrudge him wanting to play scenes with a sexy woman. Good character actors throughout the film with Ralph Macchio and Laurie Metcalf the only real "big names" in the cast. I really liked the softball sequences especially all the ball busting. Would recommend to any Artie fan. Go ahead and buy the thing so that Artie can make enough money to straighten his ass out.
Artie Lange.....one of the funniest comedans out there. He's funny as hell with his stories on Howard Stern, and it carries over into this movie. Well written, maybe not the best actors, but a well written comedy with some other comedians you will recognize; Jim Paulumbo, Nick DiPaolo, Jim Breuer, Tina Fey, and Jim Flourentine to name a few. Thios movie is typical Jersey....the attitude, the sayings, the ball busting.....if you are from the area, it will remind you of being there; if you're not, you'll wish you were. A great movie that follows the trials and tribulations of Atrie Lange (Artie Devanzo in the movie) with the team and his personal life thru out a soft ball season. Neighborhood rivalries and some funny insults abound......if you dont laugh at this one, then you needto check your pulse. A deffinate must see.....grab a drink, pull up a chair, and get ready to have some good laughs.Read full review
Artie is like a Teddy Bear that drinks beer. You know, like a Build-a-Bear. He even wears the same shoes and all. This show has a lot of funny characters. I think you will be surprised at how many actors are in this show. Funny, Funny, Funny!!! It comes off as a B type of movie, so I couldn't rate it excellent. But, a B type that you'll have fun watching. Some of the lines are too good! Jersey, New York, small-town ball players, and Soprano lovers will like this show. Not for kids.
"Beer League" is not a feature film that will appeal to all audiences out there, and while Artie Lange can sling a one-liner with the best of them, his acting leaves much to be desired. Still, this is a scrappy low-budget comedy that tries harder than most similar endeavors, and it has a refreshingly unique voice about it that easily overcomes the dud bits scattered throughout. For any supporter of bawdy cinema on a budget, "Beer League" could be considered something of a treat if you bring your standards all the way down. i love artie lange and movie was great.
I don't understand why this movie didn't get higher ratings. It's really funny and entertaining. With the ratings rotten tomatoes gave it, you'd think there'd be a lot of slow parts or cringed moments, but there aren't any. This moment keeps your attention the whole way through. I totally recommend it.
