DVD Review: My husband loves Artie
Summary: 4 Stars
And he is enjoying this book! If you are an Artie fan, you will too-DVD Review: Did for softball what Major League did for baseball!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great R rated adult comedy about a softball league,lots of great laughs and t&a,not for the kiddies,just us adults!!! Looks great on Blu Ray with some nice extras!!! No more Karate Kid for you Ralph Macchio,the great Seymour Cassel(Colors,Minnie and Moskowitz) also give a fine performance,also look quickly for Tina Fey in a small cameo!!! But the funniest preformance has to go to adult star Keisha who is very funny as "The Pitching Machine" a lady who shoots ping pong balls from her #@!#?,this needs to be seen to be believed!!! A fun adult themed film!!! A+DVD Review: Funny guy!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're an Artie fan, great sense of goofy humor, and a good imagination, this movie is hilarious. I'm proud of Artie!DVD Review: Funny but dirty!
Summary: 4 Stars
Artie Lange he's as raw as they come. To see this guy in high def is a trip. I would only recommend this movie to adults. For the high def buffs the AQ is ok the PQ is good for this type of movie. For 10-15 bucks it's a must have.DVD Review: ABOUT WHAT I EXPECTED!
Summary: 2 Stars
I had never heard of this film, but finding it in my local bargin bin for a few bucks....I couldn't resist picking it up. It's about what I expected for my money. It's an OK romantic/comedy which is heavy on the low brow humor and light on the romance. The cast does what it can with what it has to work with. Ralph Macchio has seen better days,but it was good to see him in this harmless, goofy movie. The DVD transfer looks good and the are some extras to fiddle through.
Description of Artie Lange's Beer League
Beer, broads and softball combine with hilarious results in ARTIE LANGE'S BEER LEAGUE, and over-the-top comedy about a group of misfits whose weekly softball games descend more into fights for macho dominance than making home runs. When love enters his life, it unexpectedly alters Artie's low self-esteem; and the odds for winning--not only the league trophy but a new life--are considerably amped along with the comedy and chaos.Bonus Features: Unrated Commentary with Artie Lange and Frank Sebastiano; Beer Goggles Short; Beer League: Behind the Scenes; Live from CineVegas!; Artie Behind the Scenes of JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE! and THE BEST DAMN SPORTS SHOW; In the Studio with Artie: Jokes and Ringtones; Raw Interviews; Beer League Photo Gallery
It's appropriate that this extravaganza of lowbrow cinema had its premiere at the 2006 Cinevegas Film Festival, because what happens in Artie Lange's Beer League should stay in Artie Lange's Beer League. Lange is most recognizable for his stint in the Mad TV ensemble, but probably more idolized by the people who will get wild kicks from his leading man debut as the resident guest-baiter and booze/scatological/flatulence/sex joke expert on Howard Stern's radio show. Those are the same kinds of laughs this movie relies on in telling the wisp of a story about a bunch of New Jersey boneheads whose lives are fulfilled by softball games and the beer-guzzling that goes on before, during, and after. Artie's team is proud to be in the bottom ranks of their league, especially when brawls erupt at games against their slick, archrival team. Artie and the rest of his team know these arrogant jerks in their immaculate black (of course) uniforms are unbeatable, so it's only natural that Artie thinks its easier to just beat the hell out of them. The local cop who's had to deal with both teams finally gets so angry with the escalating brawls that he issues an ultimatum: Whichever team loses the season has to disband and never play on the league again. It's kind of an utterly tasteless version of The Bad News Bears for people who like their movies vulgar, offensive, misogynistic, and often really funny in spite of it all. Some of the subplots and supporting players include Ralph Macchio as one of Artie's childhood friends who's about to get married (cue depraved bachelor party scene with lots of topless babes), Mary Birdsong from Reno 911! as a kooky waitress, and a delightful turn by crusty character actor Seymour Cassel as Artie's teammate Dirt, who may be old but loves booze, fisticuffs, and debauchery as much as anyone. For some reason, Artie's foul-mouthed slobbery attracts a local Jersey girl (Cara Buono), even though he's jobless and still lives with his mom (Laurie Metcalf, who should get some kind of good sport award). The buffoonery doesn't just stop with the movie. There's also more than two hour of bonus material tailored for Artie Lange enthusiasts who probably number more than you'd think -- whether they'd ever admit it or not. --Ted Fry
