Beer Money (2001)

It is a performances centric movie

Good movie but grossly overrated

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Beer money is a superb Hollywood ufo / comic / dude flick in the style of state trooper only far funnier, dry sublime acting and an a-list cast including the stunning mercedes mcnab. Classic moments involve Mark-Paul Gosselaar addressing mercedes bosoms for most of the movie to hilarious effect, the on running diarrhea gags will make you belly laugh, The amazing soundtrack is worth a listen alone if you are an extreme sports fan. definitely echoes its poorer cousin weird science and goonies but neither of those hold a candle to this stunning piece of cinematography i'm surprised this movie doesn't rate in the top 250 charts but trust it will become a cult classic.

We all remember Zack Morris from Saved By The Bell. Now Mark-Paul Gosselaar just made a really bad movie. The first 20 minutes wasnt bad at all. I was actually laughing, but after the campsite scene the movie just went down hill and not slowly either, it went dont in a strait line. The plot was pretty stupid. It was a big let down like Dude Where's My Car? The only good move Gosselaar was in was Dead Man On Campus, which I expected Beer Money to be like. I wouldnt watch this movie again it was just that bad. The only other notable person in it was the character echo who was in Addams Family Values as the blond girl that led the thanksgiving play. Sorry Zack its back to school for you

The Only reason I watched it was because I'm a Fan of Mercedes McNab so I didn't really care what it was like as long as she was in it. But when I watched it I was really glad i did.The guy from Saved by the bell was alright and Mercedes had some very very funny parts, but The rest of the cast you just don't really care about (Mainly Blank and that really big guy) due to how stupid they are!!The plot was funny, and the acting was cool, so if you need to kill two hours and have fun doing it, check it out you won't be upset!!! B+

A guy comes home after failing in the big city, immediately finds his old buddies and they decide to go camping. Meanwhile, he promises a cute girl that wasn't before in high school out on a date, but goes on the camping trip instead. While they are playing drinking games, a spaceship comes and drops off a weird alien. He wants to keep it, but his friend shoots it dead. With a title such as "Beer Money" appearing on such a quality cable network such as USA, one would have such rock-bottom expectations for this one. But it was pretty funny E.T. spoof, with its intended low-low brow humor. However, it is too long for its material. Worth a look.
