Broken Lizard Wants YOU!

Now, granted, I am at fault for not actually going to watch this movie this past weekend like I should have. But, in all fairness, I didn't watch the Marky Mark movie, or any others for that matter. So my wife and I's combined 20 bucks didn't fund another one of the movies that made bank at the box office, while "Beerfest" staggered along with a disappointingly modest $6+ million. So, the guys at Broken Lizard have made an online plea for help. Here it is. It's your turn to do something about this. Change history if you will.

Ladies & Gentlemen,

As you know by now the number one film in America this weekend was MIRACLE 2: MARKY MARK IN CLEATS.

As you probably also know BEERFEST is fucking great. You've seen our comment board, you've talked to your friends, you've probably already seen the movie.

So you're probably asking yourself how did a football comedy beat out a Broken Lizard movie???

Well here's your answer...

It doesn't fucking matter.

What matters now is that YOU keep BEERFEST in theaters so that your friends, and everyone else in the world will get to see BEERFEST on the big screen.

This is a grassroots comedy campaign of epic proportions. We are asking YOU, the fans, to mobilize and get the word out about BEERFEST. Here are 10 things you can do to spread the word:

1.) REPOST THIS MESSAGE
2.) Copy & Paste this message into an email and tell all of your friends to see BEERFEST this week. And then tell them to forward it along.
3.) Blog this message or throw it up on your website.
4.) Send a MySpace Comment to a friend telling them to go see BEERFEST.
5.) Poke a friend on Facebook and then tell them about BEERFEST.
6.) Buy a ticket for BEERFEST, then walk into another movie and tell everyone in that theater to go see BEERFEST instead.
7.) Put the poster up as your default picture on MySpace
8.) Text message all the numbers in your cell phone with "BEERFEST"
9.) Throw a BEERFEST party. Round up your friends, drink some brew, go see the movie, repeat.
10.) When a telemarketer calls you, instead of them selling you something, you sell them on BEERFEST.

The power is your hands people. Visit us at www.myspace.com/therealbrokenlizard and update us with your efforts.

We sincerely appreciate all of your support.

Cheers,

BROKEN LIZARD

Though I wasn't surprised by how little bank it made at the box office (I still have to beg people to see "Super Trooper"), the boys got it right in their rather immodest plea .. it is fuckin great .. it's the Citizen Kane of drinking-game movies

it's always the good movies that don't get the audience they deserve. shit like "Step Up" can make 50 million easy in 3 weeks . . . but "Beerfest" will struggle to get to 30 million in it's entire theatrical run.

sad really.
