Beerfest
In preparation for the Bierstube on Saturday, here is an idea for a movie that I had:
When American brothers Todd and Jan Wolfhouse travel to Germany to spread their grandfather's ashes at Oktoberfest, they stumble upon a super-secret, centuries old, underground beer games competition—Beerfest—the secret Olympics of beer drinking.
The brothers receive a less than warm welcome from their German cousins, the Von Wolfhausens, who humiliate Todd and Jan, slander their relatives, and finally cast them out of the event.
Vowing to return in a year to defend their country and their family's honor, the Wolfhouse boys assemble a ragtag dream team of beer drinkers and gamers: Barry Badrinath, the consummate skills player with a dark past; Phil Krundle AKA "Landfill," the one-man chugging machine; and Steve "Fink" Finklestein, the lab tech with a Masters degree in All Things Beer.
This Magnificent Five train relentlessly, using their hearts, minds and livers to drink faster, smarter and harder than they ever have before. But first they must battle their own demons... as well as a bunch of big, blond, German jerks who want to destroy the team before they can even make it back to Munich.
Revenge, like beer, is best served cold.
What do you guys think?

There is usually a washed up old man that happens to be a former champion of whatever the issue is. Think David Duchovny in Zoolander, or the old man in the wheelchair in Dodgeball. There should also be two really cool scenes set to music. One where they recruit the team (how about at AA meetings) and another where they train. I like when things happen in the snow/mountains -- but not every movie can be Rocky IV. Stupid russians. All that technology still can't beat a short italian with heart and soul (and Talia Shire)
