Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

adonis98-743-186503 Five Vermont state troopers, avid pranksters with a knack for screwing up, try to save their jobs and out-do the local police department by solving a crime. Just like with the sequel that was released this year 'Super Troopers' is a very forgettable, bland and just overly stupid mess of a comedy that even actors like Brian Cox (X-Men 2: United) can't save from falling apart. The acting just like with the sequel was just awful and none of the actors seemed to even putting some heart into it plus the cops are totally stupid to begin with and nowhere near as cool as 'Police Academy' if you this kind of comedies this movie is for you but for the rest of the viewers out there? Skip it. (0/10)

eric262003 "Super Troopers" has that feeling sort of like a high-school film project where you follow a few instructions, and then you annex a few others, but still succeeds in maintaining its charm. Picture a group of Vermont troopers cajoling around on the job treating their profession like they are the hosts of "Candid Camera". And pictures these troopers to feel like their ambitions are more lenient towards stand-up comedy. And they thought that their training was by watching the box-set of the "Police Academy" movies. And that they are the leading protagonists. That's what this movie feels like.Set in Sputbury, Vermont where very little criminal activity happens,this causes a bit of a rift between the state troopers. Under the leadership of Captain O'Hagen (Brian Cox) and the city police under the leadership of Chief Grady (Daniel von Bargen). When a deceased corpse was discovered in Winnebago and drug smuggling seems to be behind it, the police and the troopers compete in their investigation for clues and evidence, suspects and for funds. The state troopers are also under pressure of getting shutdown, by the budget-minded governor (Lynda Carter).The troopers may be on the brink of becoming obsolete because as a unit they're really not taken very seriously. They seem to pass their time interrogating passerbys, instruct truck drivers to pull over with their megaphones after the drivers have pulled over and even going meow while striking conversation with the curbed driver. O'Hagen is clearly besides himself in stress over their erratic behaviour as he fears his job and his troop will be out of a job. This drug bust is the key to save their jobs, but the guys are quite out of league about the whole operation.There is a hint of romantic entanglements where a beautiful cop Ursula (Marisa Coughlan) starts dating one of the troopers named Foster (Paul Soter) which doesn't sit very well both the police and the troopers, but might still have some potential that might bring this case together. Foster not playing with a full deck decides that he and Ursula should get in the back of a cruiser. Foster forgets that once placed in the back of a cruiser, someone has to let them out.During their breaks at greasy spoon establishments, the cops trade discussion almost like you would hear from comedy factions like "Trailer Park Boys", "Kids in the Hall" or the cast of "Clerks". Which is fitting because they happen to be a comedy troupe known as Broken Lizard who were also credited for writing the script and under the direction of Jay Chandrasekhar who plays the role of fellow trooper named Thorny. Vermonters know he is of an ethnic minority, but can't tell what he is and keeps it sworn to secrecy. They assume he's either Mexican, Arab, Muslim, Hindu or anything.Broken Lizard started their journey as undergraduate students from Colgate who raised $200,000 to make a film called "Puddle Cruiser" and presented it as part of campus tour. Here in "Super Troopers", they might collaborate by transforming this movie into a sequel next year in which I hope has something good to offer there.As a whole, "Super Troopers" works well on several levels. It has a story going for it, which wraps up quite nicely when its done. But it still feels like a series of skits with a laid-back charm going for it. The atmosphere is at the most feel-good with a level of confidence that you don't find in a "Police Academy" movie. I can't say that it wasn't a terrible movie, but I think there shouldn't be any reason to see it again after one viewing. It's a good watch, but it isn't anything all that special.

carbuff One of the all-time great politically incorrect, totally irreverent comedies, which just about everyone, except probably your Aunt, is going to think is funny. It's one of those, it's so wrong, it's right, kind of things. Although it's very different, if you like "Married with Children", I think that there's a very good chance you'll like this slightly more adult comedy,since the type of humor seems similar to me. It's set in the great state of Vermont featuring Highway patrolmen warring with local cops who are threatening to take over their turf. It's unpredictable, crude, and funny, although watching it with children might be awkward (or not, considering how "advanced" modern children are). I don't know when it came out in 2001, but, given how grim the world has gotten and how light this movie is, it obviously was "in the can" prior to 9/11. So, if you aren't feeling particularly mature, this would be a great viewing choice, since it's a bit dirty, but simultaneously quite innocent for our current world.

Bruce722 The absurdity and deranged sense of humor of the Broken Lizard guys makes for very original movies and Super Trooper is their crowning achievement. The movie as a whole is somewhat mediocre and, similar to Half Baked and other cult classic comedies, it's more of a compilation of funny scenes thrown together to form a weak plot. In this case, a unit of mediocre highway troopers pulls various stunts while haphazardly attempting to save their jobs. Throw in a rival cop force, German nymphomaniacs, and drug using teenagers and you have some opportunities for laugh-out-loud moments, which is really what these movies are designed to do. Obviously they're not for everyone but if you don't take yourself too seriously and don't mind crude and profane humor, you'll enjoy this movie.
