Super Troopers

Pros: Funny, entertaining movie.
Cons: Will be too silly or offensive for some.

There are a lot of comedies made that use silly or even stupid humor. Sometimes it works and other times it doesn't. I have skipped watching some movies because I thought they looked too stupid only to end up watching them later and really enjoying ...

Pros: A solid story - Funny One Liners - Zanee Azz Antikz - Low Budget Fun
Cons: 360 degrees of full on male nudity

"Super Troopers" is a funny comedy.. with unknown individuals who are part of "Broken Lizard". Which is a comedy group consisting of five members, who are: Erik Stolhanske, Jay Chandrasekhar, Steve Lemme, Kevin Heffernan, and Paul Soter. This group, led ...

Pros: Original, well thought out movie with a complete plot
Cons: Unknown actors, lengthy, slow scene transfers

When I first saw the previews to Super Troopers I thought it looked like the stupidest thing in the world. So, one boring night I dragged myself to the theaters still not knowing what was I about to encounter. As I sat down in the seats I asked ...

Pros: Jay Chandrasekhar, Lynda Carter, Brian Cox, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter, Erik Stolhanske.
Cons: Not enough doughnut jokes. ;)

Super Troopers (2002), $9.19 US, is the rare comedy that has managed to sneak into my burgeoning DVD collection -- I generally prefer drama, action, horror, and sci-fi movies. My initial ...

Pros: This movie is hilarious, original, and the actors are great.
Cons: The middle of this movie was somewhat boring.

Super Troopers was a movie that looked especially appealing in the previews. Personally, I thought that it would be a terrible movie because I thought they had taken all the best scenes and put them into the trailer like some movies have done in the...

Pros: HILARIOUS!!
Cons: NONE!!

We went to go see Super Troopers tonight. I have seen the previews and I have wanted to see this movie for a while. We went to see Kung Pow last week and I didn't even want to waste my time on such an aweful movie. But this week Super Troopers had me...

Pros: Laugh out loud funny
Cons: None

There are so many funny satirical movies of police work, that it is hard to keep up with them all. There is the Police Academy series, The Naked Gun, Reno 911, and Bad Boys. Many of these have been quite funny, while others such as the ...

Pros: A Hilarious, Well-Written Lowbrow Comedy from Broken Lizard.
Cons: Some Might Find the Comedy Too Flat or Antics Too Juvenile.

With the recent release of the sequel to the Farrelly Brother’s 1994 comedy classic “Dumb & Dumber” ...

Pros: Some consistently funny bits are sprinkled throughout.
Cons: It runs on way too long.

The 5-man comedy troupe Broken Lizard hit Sundance with their slob comedy Super Troopers, and it was the first movie snatched up for distribution. Fox Searchlight is taking the gamble on this one, and if the non-stop TV commericals (and the cute...

Pros: funny, ridiculous, and most of all, F-U-N
Cons: the plot is flimsy

Needless to say, 2002 was not a good year for low brow comedies. From the sequels (Analyze That), to the ridiculousness (Kung Pow, which wasn't SO bad), to the bad bad bad (Slackers and The New Guy), it pretty much stunk....

Pros: The film's raison d'etre lies in exploring contrasting views of man's place in society
Cons: As Augustus Xavier Caesar once said "or not"

The je na sa quois (pronounced sheh-nay-zay-qwa) of Super Troopers lies in its thorough exploration of two conflicting models of brotherhood. The first model, originally purvued by Shakespeare in Much Ado About Nothing, offered the brotherhood and...

Pros: I wasn't having teeth extracted as I watched the film...
Cons: ...Although it felt like it.

I see a lot of films every year. More than most people I know. People regularly ask me if I have seen a film or to recommend a film that I have seen. Occasionally, when I tell people I have seen a certain film, they look at me aghast and wonder if I have...

Pros: Funny, Well-Made, Original
Cons: Length, Plot

I was disappointed when I heard my friends went to see Super Troopers while I was gone in Munich. I told them we would have to rent it when it came out, and sure enough we did. The commercials for this movie convinced me that it would be worthwhile...

Pros: Some funny original material in this movie
Cons: Energy and good jokes fall flat at the end

In the 70's & 80's we had classic comedy films that are still talked about regularly like Caddyshack, Police Academy & even Spaceballs. During that time we had films being churned out by National Lampoon and later on in the 90's the Farley Brothers...

Pros: Rollicking send-up, good humor a la Police Academy
Cons: Reminded me of the Police Academy series!

Against all odds and expectations, I took a few young friends to see this flick, expected to have to gnash my teeth, bite my tongue and hide from what often purports to be humor these days. I was, however, somewhat shocked to find that I was delightfully...
