In one scene, they are in a submarine and Prochnow says he once had a bad experience in a submarine. The movie can't stop making references to his German made, doomed submarine film, Das Boot. I also liked the German drinking team with Saturday Night Live alumni Will Forte and lead by Jurgen Prochnow. "I've been shitting pancakes ever since." At the end of this scene another member of the group says, "Well that was a lot to digest."

His introduction scene and the scene where we see what he thinks he's like while drunk and what he actually is like are two of the funniest moments in the movie.

This time around the group finds themselves involved in a top secret European beer drinking contest. Just be sure to lower your brow before entering the theater. If you enjoyed either of their earlier films, Super Troopers or Club Dread, you will certainly enjoy this installment of their loopy and very silly brand of comedy.
