Description: Always looking for action, five over-enthusiastic, but under-stimulated Vermont State Troopers raise hell on the highway, keeping motorists anxiously looking in their rear view mirrors. Between an ongoing feud with the local cops over whose you-know-what is bigger and the state government wanting to shut them down, the Super Troopers find themselves patrolling the boundaries of good taste as they hilariously and unwittingly skid towards solving the crime of their lives.
Amazon.com: The fine art of handing out a freeway speeding ticket gets a deviously funny twist in this smart-alecky farce written and performed by the comedy troop Broken Lizard (consisting of Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter, and Erik Stolhanske). These pranksters in patrol cars (led by their long-suffering commander Brian Cox) are little more than overgrown frat boys in a campus rivalry with the brawling Vermont bullies of the local police force, and they know how to have fun on the highway patrol. This skit-like collection of comic moments clumps from one scene to another like a variety show, but the gags are more hit than miss, thanks largely to terrific ensemble work and inspired motorist mind games. With a nod to such 1970s comedies as Animal House and Caddyshack, this "boys in blue just wanna have fun" farce is hardly sophisticated, just clever, raucous fun. --Sean Axmaker
Where else can you see all of this ? Where else on DVD can you see a (simulated) hunter getting it on with a ( simulated ) bear, and a cop in a bullet proof jockstrap ? Is it somewhat 'low brow' humor- of course - but put your mind in nuetral, suspend your disbelief, and just 'meow' along with it. Great party entertainment after a couple of brewskies or whatever fits your fancy. I loved it.
Never got it All I got was an empty dvd case so I can't really give a review. I will not buy from this seller again
Terrible! This was one of the only movies that I could not make myself finish! Nothing even remotely funny about it! I actually recieved the movie for free but spent money to mail it to someone that I knew wanted it just so I could be rid of it. Best money I ever spent! If you're drunk and/or easily amused you may find a teeny tiny bit of humor in it but even then, you'll have to look pretty hard!
2.5 stars out of 4 The Bottom Line:
Vastly overrated by many a frat boy, Super Troopers is neither great nor inspired, but it does offer a couple big laughs in between long moments of tedium.
BEST MOVIE If you enjoy ribbing aching humor, this is your movie. Non-stop laughing. I would recommend this to anyone.
