Lots of laughs, worth the money

While Super Troopers may not have the best plot of 2002, it makes up foritin the quality and quantity of laughs. The comedy is genuine, even if thestory is only moved alongby a series of skits. I took two stars away for the weak plot and for oneor two jokes that I thought could have very well been left out. Yet Iadmire this movie's comedy for not resorting to fart jokes or toilethumor.Overall, a good time was had by all!

future classic

One of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. I haven't seen afunnier first 10 minutes of a movie since SOUTH PARK -- the gags arepuerileand stupid, yes, but they are also refreshingly original. No faircomparingthis to POLICE ACADEMY -- the characters in that dreadful series of movieswere all alien morons and hardly recognizable as human beings. Thesecharacters are smart and fully fleshed out -- these are the kind of guyswhoremind you of your friends. This movie should be an inspiration to bothaspiring film-makers and to the big studios -- you don't need a $20millionactor and twenty-five different writers and a ridiculously contrivedconceptto make a successful comedy. If I were running a big studio, I'd signBroken Lizard up to do 10 more movies at the $5-$10 million range, letthemhit their stride and develop a following, and cash in on the DVD sales.Andlet's face it -- none of these guys are leading men, none of them wouldeverhave had a career in Hollywood on their own, but together, they're funnierthan those lames on SNL.

closure

Why take the time to bag a film? Why not do something useful, like yell athomeless people?? I need closure. I did not rent this film so I am not outof pocket, for that I thank the spiteful god up above. It happened slowly, Ifound all my energies being drained so I couldn't move from my rather comfychair.. then I found my IQ dropping (left myself open for criticismthere....), I found myself holding popular political views, beer did notalleviate my personal suffering. I warn all people who respect theirindependence NOT to watch this move. I am very much against censorship,otherwise I would outright call for its banning. Still, it is one starbetter than Mariah Carey's Glitter, but that is anotherstory.

Come for the handcuffs, leave for the film (this is for the college tour only)

As a student at Northwestern University, I was able to catch a sneakpreviewof this film. As a free gift we were given high-quality steel handcuffs,which is a good thing because they should've used them on some of theaudience members. This pathetic excuse for a movie was MILDLYentertaining.That is a generous assessment, if I had paid to see this movie, I wouldhavebeen very upset. This movie makes Dude, Where's my Car seem like Kubrick.The only spotlight in the entire film was an creative spoof of Tykwer'sRun,Lola Run, but I bet most of the people who see this movie won't even getthereference.And it was pretty damn obvious that they added references to the Talibanatthe last minute, c'mon guys. Get more creative than that.

A different kind of humor...funny.

I saw SUPER TROOPERS at a sneak preview on 2/11. It is a very differentkindof humor. The film is low-budget, but it's funnier in parts than most ofthebig money comedies. Far from perfect, but far from dull, some of thescenesare classic. I'd recommend it if you want a comedy and not adisappointment.

Kind of funny when I saw it the first time as Police Academy

After the first 45 minutes this movie got really old. Gee, I should havegotten a clue when I saw the movie had more than 5 writers. Way too longwhen there is nothing funny going on. This movie would have been hilariousif it was broken up into a TV series. Unfortunately I think you can getmorelaughs watching Comedy Central reruns.

What you'd get if you put any Farelly Brothers movie, and The Naked Gun in a blender.

If you try to picture that, you'll understand what kind of movie you'regetting when you watch this hilarious movie. This is one, that willactually require a second viewing after wards, either because you'relaughing so hard, or you don't get most of the jokes. If you don'tunderstand it the first time around, please watch it again. There are aLOT of jokes and gags here, most of them are fall-on-the-floor funny,and even if you don't get it, the movie will still make you smile. Ithink this is the perfect movie to watch on a bad day. It will cheeryou up instantly.The film follows the ridiculously stupid antics of a team of fiveVermont State Troopers, Thorny, Farva, Mac, Foster, and Rabbit, none ofwhom would really qualify for a bronze medal in the special Olympics(as far as police work goes). These cops' idea of a good time involvesplaying bizarre, often rude mind games with the speeders they pull over(such as, trying to substitute as many words as possible with the word"meow," and repeating each other's lines), and chugging bottles ofmaple syrup in the nearby diner. The state cops and the local cops arerivals, and if the contest was for sanity, the locals would win in alandslide. The mayor is threatening to shut down the state troopersprecinct, and when a murder that somehow involves drugs occurs on thehighway, the inept highway patrolmen find this as a last ditch effortto save their jobs. Yep, the plot highly resembles something from The Naked Gun, and whilethe film isn't as great as that, the laughs are nearly just asconsistent. Once you see the movie for the third time, you will need topause the movie occasionally in order to let out all your laughter fromthe last hysterical gag, and prepare yourself for the next one, whichwill of course, come probably as soon as you hit the play button. The actors who play the five troopers are all really talented unknowns(especially the guy who plays Farva), and they should all get morestarring roles. These guys really know how to make you laugh your assoff, and the fact that they manage to keep the straightest facesimaginable while doing it is priceless. These guys need morerecognition, because as long as these guys aren't acting, lots oftalent is going to waste. This film really makes me want to see theother Broken Lizard movie, Club Dread, just so I can see these guys inaction again. The scenery in the film is just plain gorgeous, with thebeautiful green New England look. It's a happy setting, that totallysets a mood of impending hilarity. From the hysterical opening sequenceinvolving some stoned teenagers and littering, you'll need to duct tapeyour sides together to avoid splitting. Quoting another review, thisfilm may seriously impair your ability to keep a straight face whilespeaking to a state trooper. I couldn't agree more. This hilarious filmreceives an 8/10. Please watch it again if it isn't hilarious to youthe first time.Super Troopers is proudly rated R for Language, Sexual Content, andDrug Use. Sex: 8/10 Violence: 5/10 Swearing: 10/10 Drugs: 7/10

It's delicious!

This is probably the funniest movie that I've seen in the last few years. I started watching it on cable with very low expectations, and I found myself laughing non-stop for the next hour and a half. Basically the movie follows the antics of 5 Vermont state troopers who enjoy playing pranks on motorists, each other, and their arch-rivals, the local police. There is a loose plot having to do with a cache of drugs, and a sweet romantic sub-plot as well, but all these elements really take a back seat to the clever and good-natured humor. One of the highlights for me is the opening sequence in which the troopers pull over and mess around with 3 stoner kids. After pulling them over, they take off without warning and then back up and order them to pull over again. The frightened and drugged-out kids don't know what to do since they're already pulled over. Probably the funniest section of the movie has to do with Officer Farva, the fat, belligerent black sheep of the Super Trooper family. Once he gets the opportunity to walk the beat after being banned, he immediately goes on a trail of terror that begins with his cruel and crude version of a Super Trooper prank and ends with him in jail in a homage to First Blood's delousing scene. It's a truly great comic performance.I'm surprised that this movie is so polarizing, with a number of 1-star reviews peppered among all the raves. The comparisons to Police Academy seem totally off-base to me. Police Academy is filled with juvenile, obvious, ham-fisted gags, while Super Troopers humor is more diverse and effective. There's clever dialogue, gross-out humor, and physical comedy, and it all works really well. The criticisms that the plot is weak seem kind of pointless to me. Many great comedies don't have strong narratives (eg. Monty Python's movies, the Farrelly Bros' movies). It's really more of a question of whether the movie offers the laughs and quickly, and Super Trooper definitely delivers the goods in this area.

"Speeding And???"

This review is from: Super Troopers [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray) Wow, wish this comedy troupe "Broken Lizard" would have been able to come up with something as good as Super Troopers in the following years, but they haven't quite measured up. Even Beerfest, was not quite as good as Super Troopers.Anyway! Super Troopers was stinking hilarious.. My family still will spout off dialogue quotes from time to time.Highly inappropriate for those under age.

Great Movie Fun

Not the best film but its a ton of fun to watch.

The funniest movie ever!

As an avid viewer of comedy, I think it's fairly accurate when I say thatTHIS MOVIE IS THE FUNNIEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN! Not only are the pranksthese highway patrol officers pull original, they're hilarious. TheFarrellybrothers have nothing on these Broken Lizard guys!

Splendiforous!

This movie had me rolling like a pill-bug in a little kid's hand. All of the jokes were immature, crude, and indecent. Maybe that's why I liked it. This movie is a combination of Office Space, Cheech and Chong, Harold and Kumar go to White Castle with just a dab of Dumb and Dumber. I guarantee you will laugh through the enitre movie!

Not perfect, but it's heart is in the right place

This isn't a teen comedy movie. It's not a "gross-out" movie. The scriptbranches off down too many dead ends and some of the character developmentis iffy. Apart from the little character development there is, it's VERYuncomplicated.But that's great; it works so well a lot of the time. You just have abunchof highway cops who are compelled to screw up at every opportunity. It'stheir whole reason for being. This is where character development doesn'twork for two of the characters. One involves a plot device formularelationship (going out with one of the regular cops on the "other team");the other is a strange long term relationship with a woman (who has a sonfrom another relationship) who wants him to stay in town if the departmentshuts down.The long term girlfriend of Thorny (possibly the lead character?) onlyreacts to him passively and in no way sways him from the capers he pullswhile on highway patrol (i.e. he doesn't "mature", therefore, what's thepoint?).This is my main gripe, apart from that the film starts off strong and thenloses its impetus, with the exception of the occasional brilliant scene orsnippet of dialog. Lots of great ideas were exposed and then discarded(theGerman couple were woefully under used as a comic device).The role of Thorny is played brilliantly deadpan by Jay Chandrasekhar, andthe other highway "patroller's" are great, with well defined individualcharacter traits. Brian Cox makes an appearance, but doesn't pull offanything spectacular (he's no Lloyd Bridges).It's strange and it's beautiful, give it a chance!

A Really Funny Movie

Super Troopers is a really funny movie. The beginning sequence of this movie is one of the funniest scenes that I have seen in a movie in a long time, "The Snozberries taste like Snozberries." Much of this movie is a mockery of law enforcement. The characters are all funny in the own ways, but in my opinion, the best is Farva, the misguided and misunderstood buffoon that does all of the grunt work for the guys. The scene when he attacks the burger joint kid is the best in the movie. I would recommend this for anyone that wants a good laugh.

Bored Cops

The writers of this must be familiar with bored, small town cops. Many ofmy friends followed this career path and this watching this movie wasalmostlike hanging out with them! I must especially give a nod to the "meow"scene. Those that have seen it will know about which Ispeak.Overall, it is a funny movie, destined for late night viewing and cultstatus. Definitely check it out, and please tell me who in the hellBrokenLizard is.

Brilliant Modern Comedy

It's a rare occasion for me to find a comedy in the 2000's that ensues hilarity and doesn't let up on it one bit. Enter Super Trooper, a comedy in which five highway patrol cops do whatever it takes to save their police station. However, these cops are rather inept and are always beaten by the neighboring patrol. Just by watching the opening scene, when the highway patrol deals with these stoners, you'll get a sense of what you're in for. The standout character is definitely Officer Rod Farva, the most inept out of all the patrol, and the one who is always getting into trouble. I'm not going to explain this any more, since I don't want to spoil the movie for you, but if you're wanting a comedy that is truly deemed to be a classic, buy this movie. Or rent it. Just watch it.

Sketch comedy

If you like sketch comedy, see this hilarious film. This film feels likeawhole bunch of sketch comedy scenes with recurring characters and a looseplot to tie them together. This seems to work for some people, whileturning others off. If you like Kids in the Hall, Monty Python, Mr. Show,etc., you'll like this movie.If you are expecting this movie to have a tight plot and characterdevelopment that gives insight into why everybody does what they do,you'llbe disappointed.If you are looking for the former rather than the latter, this is amust-see!

I was pleasantly surprised!

I saw Super Troopers last night. I had only seen one preview, but decided tosee it because it was the only film at the theatre that I hadn't seenalready.Boy, was I pleasantly surprised! I found this movie to be very funny. Ilaughed a lot and I don't usually like stupid humour (Ace Ventura, etc.) Itis refreshing to see something labelled as a comedy in which you actuallylaugh more than once during the film (unlike films like The RoyalTanenbaums, which I enjoyed, but barely laughed once).I didn't like the first scene (although a majority of those who commentedseemed to like that scene) and I began to wonder what I was doing there. Butafter that first scene, when the true Trooper characters were revealed, Icouldn't stop laughing.As for the "gross-out" scenes that everyone seems to be talking about, Ihave to ask: what gross-out scenes? I didn't find any scene to be gross oroff-putting. Perhaps I missed that scene because I was too busy wiping thetears from my eyes from laughing too hard..I'm still laughing today, as is my boyfriend, who I went and saw the moviewith. We've both recommended it to all our friends - we're going backtonight with them to see it!Put away your snobbish-ness for a hundred minutes and enjoy thelaughs.
