A great movie for anyone who grew up in Northern NJ or near the city. Now, certain people people will not get it - yes you Mr. Kansas City - just like I might not appreciate cow tipping or sex with... Full review

I watched this movie and I have to say it was exactly what you expect. It doesn't try and make you think you are going to watch an academy award winning film, it makes you think that I'm bored i feel... Full review

It's really surprising that some people on this thread adore this film. It shows you how low standards have sunk. I watched this late night on Comedy Central (it was uncut and uncensored), and I was appalled at how awful... Full review

I love Stern and love Artie but don't waste your money on this movie. I saw it in the theater and should have walked out about 20 minutes in but stayed until the end. Artie can't deliver a line to... Full review

Artie Lange is an acquired taste. That is, if you know who he is. Not a marquee name, though definitely a recognizable face, Lange, like Adam Sandler, is the kind of comedian you either love or hate: loud, profane, and... Full review

Artie Lang's Beer League is a movie that begs to be liked. Sadly, all the begging in the world cannot save this turkey from sickening everyone at the table. The tale of a woeful men's softball team from New Jersey, Beer... Full review

I'm a Howard Stern fan and became an Artie fan when he replaced Jackie (F Jackie!). I went to this movie with the sole purpose of supporting Artie. The "T&A comedies about drunk party guys" genre is not usually what... Full review

Beer League" is not for tender ears, but more for the beer-bellied, rascally rule breaker in all of us, and most importantly, there's a great chance something in here will make you laugh.
From the first half of the film, we know already that Lange and Sebastiano are smarter than this labored structure, and the flow of the picture is disrupted when the script stops the fun to tend to needless plotting and unreasonable grabs at sympathy.

The people in that group will probably not enjoy "Beer League".
Maybe it's because of this that I can look past all the minuses of "Beer League" and still have a good time watching it.
The plot is both weak and without a real purpose.

The raunchy sports comedy is a cinema staple, as respected as the greatest film classics.....Beer League , by the end credits, has probably offended every major religion, race and sexual orientation....Artie Lange's Beer League is a welcome return to the raunchy hey-day of comedy, a true guy's film.....Acting-wise, it's great seeing Ralph Macchio in a film again (and this time without waxing-off some old guy)..... ...

Weve both suffered more than one should have to, so give your inner child a hug by giving Beer League a looksie.
I laughed all the way through it, and although its not the funniest movie Ive ever seen, it is one of the funnier comedies in recent memory.

This is your last call to get in on our super fantastic Beer League Contest.
Beer, broads, and softball combine with hilarious results in ARTIE LANGE'S BEER LEAGUE, an over-the-top comedy about a group of misfits whose weekly softball games descend into more fights for macho dominance than making home runs.
