Film Review: "The Outdoorsmen: Blood, Sweat and Beers" (2006)

Are you in the mood for a short, fun flick that celebrates beer and masculinity to a soundtrack that includes 80s LA band Ratt?

If so, this one is for you.

"The Outdoorsmen" is a documentary that follows the exploits of a group of Washington State ham n' eggers that get together every year to compete in a series of events over the course of a weekend. As much emphasis is placed on athleticism as is placed on the ability to down beers as quickly as possible. Our heroes compete in the typical tug of war, obstacle course and tire throw, but there are also events like "Blind Man's Beer" which has to be seen to be believed. Needless to say, copious amounts of profanity, injuries and upchucking ensues.

If you've always thought that the immunity challenges on Survivor would be a hell of a lot more fun if the producers of the "Man Show" were involved, you ought to check out "The Outdoorsmen". Turn your brain off and remember that out of 365 days a year, you should always be able to find two-and-a-half for your buddies.

Overall rating: 8/10
