This is a foul ball of a comedy -- a raunchy, raucous frat party.

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.
12/18/06
a whole lot of lewd potty humor that doesn't really add up to anything substantial, a guilty pleasure of sorts when taken in small bursts, but which grows somewhat tiresome in the long run
12/11/06
When a small delivery of casual swearing from Seymour Cassell earns your movie's biggest laugh, there's definitely a problem.
12/10/06
Beer League is raunchy and tacky, but it’s a hell of a lot funnier than something like Failure To Launch.
10/02/06
Top CriticArtie Lange, Howard Stern's radio sidekick, somehow manages to make beer-league softball seem no fun at all in this extremely lowbrow comedy.
09/19/06
Top CriticNow softball has its own seminal classic.
09/19/06
Sitting through this film is like spending the night in that sleazy bar you swore you'd never go in, not even to use the bathroom.
09/19/06
Top CriticDoes the movie hit a home run? Hardly. But it's at least a single.
09/19/06
Top CriticThe sort of lowbrow sports comedy best enjoyed on a 50-inch screen with a six-pack, a bucket of wings and a fast-forward button.
09/19/06
Top CriticThe inanity is harmless, thoroughly predictable and ultimately disposable.
09/19/06
Top CriticThe experience of watching this loosely plotted comedy set in the suburbs of New Jersey is somewhat akin to spending a nice summer day playing softball with your friends. Only without the sun, the fresh air, the exercise or the fun.
09/19/06
Top CriticA cavalcade of colorful profanity, bachelor-party hooker gags ... and shopworn bodily function jokes, this vehicle for Howard Stern sidekick Artie Lange is slob comedy at its slobbiest.
09/15/06
Sloppy but unconcerned about it...
06/24/06
Top CriticDoesn't contain the average laugh quotient of half of Lange's daily Stern appearances, but its also far less obnoxious than non-fans would expect it to be.
