Artie Lange's Beer League


"I've lined up some primo whooas for the event."

Now, it's not the best movie ever. But being the devoted Howard Stern fan that I am, it was my duty to support my Artie and watch the movie. I almost feel like I'm a part of it! I've been hearing about this movie for years on the show. From Artie's excitement that he got some money to make it, to the antics that happened on the set from day to day,
and the topper was the movie's premiere which aired live on Sirius.

The jokes are cheap. The film is cheap. And Artie's spray on hair is cheap.

What was really fun though was watching Artie so thin! Which on the show is now called "Beer League Artie". He has since ballooned to 296! In the special features on disc 2 you can see his weight gain, and the piles of Devil Dogs that seem to be everywhere he turns.

Fun Fact : Artie revealed the shocking news last year that he was on heroin during the production of
Beer League. He claims he was never high while actually filming. So I was watching for that.

This movie is truly for the fans. It was great to see the cameos. Tina Fey, Joey G, Jim Florentine,
Jim Brewer, Nick Dipaolo, and I hear that Artie's then girlfriend Dana was in it too, but I couldn't find her.
The Jersey accents are thick and that could probably be the funniest part of this movie.

I love Artie, and the show, so I was just happy to see that it was finished. Also his fans are buying it and raising it's sales. Good job Artie, but I'd rather buy Dirty Work.
