And also, as night follows day, Belchfest: an underground Olympics of drinking games held annually in Munich under the cover of Oktoberfest. From the Broken Lizard comedy troupe (Jay Chandrasekhar, director as well as trouper), this is lowest-common-denominator stuff — notwithstanding the esoteric allusions to Das Boot — and its sense of humor is only marginally more sophisticated than the standard TV beer commercial in which that beverage is pictured as lifeblood, precious as heroin, dearer than loved ones, center of the universe. Still, it's a tolerable sports spoof, stray though it may in quest of laughs: phallic sausages in the hands of granny, laboratory frog masturbation, nickel-and-dime male prostitution, whatever. The German accents (more than most accents, even) are reliably amusing, and if no actual laughs escape your throat, the possibility of one is kept tantalizingly open to the end.
