Beer, broads and softball combine with hilarious results in ARTIE LANGE'S BEER LEAGUE, and over-the-top comedy about a group of misfits whose weekly softball games descend more into fights for macho dominance than making h... more »ome runs. When love enters his life, it unexpectedly alters Artie's low self-esteem; and the odds for winning--not only the league trophy but a new life--are considerably amped along with the comedy and chaos.

Movie Reviews
Great low budget film
Black Cat | 01/03/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This is a film that isn't for everyone,if you don't like blue collar type sports comedies..you may want to skip this.Surprisingly well acted this comedy really gives you a glimpse into softball beer leagues all around the Tristate(NJ,NY,Conn.) area..some people here seem to rate this movie negatively because they dont like Howard Stern(or Artie Lange on the Stern show) or they follow other lame morning radio shows but you can always rent this film and judge it for yourself."
Laugh-Out-Loud, Side-Splitting Funny

"I'm a huge Stern fan and saw this opening weekend. I laughed so much that I was in tears and my face and stomach hurt. This movie's not for everyone, but if you love raunchy, politically incorrect, nothing is sacred comedy, then you'll love this movie."
Best Comedy Nobody Saw
E. White | USA | 01/02/2007

"This movie didn't get the wide release it deserved. Horrible comedies are released nationally every month and very few have more laughs than Beer League. It just may end up gaining some post-DVD release notoriety, such as "Office Space" did a few years ago. This movie needs to be judged *as a comedy*. That is to say, it really isn't fair to criticize the intricacies of the plot. Take it for what it is: A good, raunchy, R-Rated comedy with enough great one liners and sight gags to entertain you for 90 minutes.
When Ralph Macchio's character orders an overly healthy lunch in front of his regular-guy Jersey buddies, who wouldn't laugh when Artie says, "In Massachusetts that order could marry a dude."?
By the way, it's easy to spot the Opie And Anthony losers that have come here to crap on this. They're the ones speaking broken English and have "Hoo Hoo" somewhere in their name or message."
Saw it at the theater, bought it yesterday

"I went to see this film, and laughed all the way through it. I took a friend who had never heard of Artie, and he laughed harder than I did. The writing is sharp, the jokes are cruel but effective, and portions of the film are so true-to-life that they look almost like a documentary.
This movie took a lot of flak from certain critics... who wouldn't know a good time if it bounced a ping pong ball off their head."
Terrible

"I love artie on Howard, but he and Frank didn't put any creative energy into the script. Every joke was obvious. I don't regret buying it, but I won't watch it again"
