Unrated DVDs are a mixed blessing. You know my feelings on them, as I’ve mentioned them many times in the past. Sometimes they can be great, adding gore unjustly cut from a horror movie in order to have the movie get an R rating. Or sometimes they add in more sex, the way it was meant to be but couldn’t be shown that way in this puritanical America.

But more often than not unrated DVDs are just a lame excuse to add in deleted scenes that were deleted for a reason just so that the film studios can make an extra buck conning someone into buying it because it is “unrated”. Beerfest is one of those Unrated DVDs. I kind of predicted it before I saw it, as the film was crazy enough in the theater. What could have been left out? Turns out, not a whole hell of a lot. Unrated usually implies that something objectionable was cut out of the film to get it the proper rating. It doesn’t imply scene extensions cut because they weren’t particularly funny and just slowed the flow of the plot down. You’re not really missing much going with the Theatrical Cut of Beerfest. In fact that’s the better edit. Get that one instead. Because it really was a wicked funny movie.
