Super Troopers: Critic Reviews

The best thing about the movie is its personable, amusing cast.

Broken Lizard has a way to go to match the absurdity and conceptual genius of Monty Python or Kids in the Hall, but Super Troopers has promising moments of oddity.

I can't quite recommend it -- it's too patched together -- but I almost can; it's the kind of movie that makes you want to like it.

[A] smarter and much funnier version of the old Police Academy flicks.

This 100-minute movie only has about 25 minutes of decent material.

There's nothing super about Super Troopers except for those deep into the low end of the frat-house mentality that equates smart-alecky with hilarity.

Sex and drug jokes abound in lowbrow comedy.

Tears out at a refreshingly reckless pace, then gradually settles into a law-abiding speed. [Blu-ray]

...doesn't have enough plot or successful jokes to keep it afloat.

Filme amalucado, mas com grande espirito de diversao. E incrivel que o filme consiga estabelecer tamanha empatia por seus herois, ja que estes sao imbecis e so fazem besteira.

The movie is as juvenile and silly as it looks. But it's also funnier than you would expect.

This is one of those films that makes movie critics embarassed to admit they liked it without first smoking a joint.

If the shots were more focused and the sound design had a little more punch, this could be an amazing film instead of just an endearing one.

Comedy troupe Broken Lizard's first movie is very funny but too concerned with giving us a plot.

This seemingly endless sitcom is too infatuated with its own hijinks to realize they're virtually witless.

The movie's mostly a succession of predictable skits, leavened only by the occasional amusing one-liner and played by actors who aren't actors so much as just a bunch of guys goofing off.

...numbingly boring and jaw-droppingly dumb.

The awful title should be a warning to you about the film.

A painfully leaden film destined for pre-dawn cable television slots.

. Curiously, Super Troopers suffers because it doesn't have enough vices to merit its 103-minute length.

Jay Chandrasekhar helms this wacky vehicle with all the conviction of a defective police siren...feels more like an excuse for Chandrasekhar and his fratboy Broken Lizard comedy troupe players to merge and serve up their pet project just to kill some time

Good, fun comedy that finds humor in personality and avoids scraping the bottom of the comedic barrel.

An appealingly juvenile trifle that delivers its share of laughs and smiles.

Just a long string of high school-style pranks and hazing exercises. And as with such gags in real life, they're never as much fun for those who aren't taking part.

It made me yearn for the golden era of January, when Slackers was released.
