Review: For ages I've been told to check this movie out. I don't know why I put it off for so long? I guess it's because the trailer doesn't show you anything of what the movie is about. I was mistaken by the trailer, I thought it was either a serious cop film, but it's far from it... I hope.

I was hilariously surprised when I sat down and watched this film (tho, not like I would stand up to watch a film)

Super Troopers I guess you could say are a bunch of State Highway cops who are just that bored with no real criminals or much to do that they entertain themselves for there own personal amusement. Until one day when a drug conspiracy is uncovered running through their town, a homicide, drug trafficking, all happening while they're in constant competition with their neighbouring cops and also under threat of having one of the stations closed down permanently.

The movie I found to be belly laughing hilarious the first time around, a lot of funny moments, but I wouldn't say the movie is lasting, the second time I watched it I had a few chuckles, but the laughs weren't as funny, and the plot wasn't really all that interesting.

It's still a funny movie tho. Although there is a fair amount of swearing, too much, even by my standards. So it's not exactly a family movie, unless you're part of the Osbourne family.

The bonus features are nothing to praise, there's some deleted/extended scenes & stuff, a couple of featurette's and an alternate ending. After watching some of the deleted bits, I think they could release an uncut version of this film.

I might be the only one to think it, but Super Trooper's to me is kind of like Animal House meets the Police Academy, or Animal House joins the Police Academy. I'd recommend you rent it before deciding if you'd think you'd want to buy it, you'll either love it or hate it.

I give it 3 and a half stars.

Summary: Worthless
Review: Everyone thinks Super Troopers is such a great movie. The beginning of the movie when the three stoners get pulled over is funny, but it's all downhill from there. After the stoner scene, the movie gets really tedious. Maybe Super Troopers is amusing when you're stoned off your ass, but I watched it sober, and it sucked. A great comedy should be funny even when you're sober. We now have a bunch of morons repeating the lines from this crappy movie. People, it's not funny when YOU say the lines from Super Troopers, hell they're not really funny in the first place. Anyway, this is just my personal opinion. If you wanna rate this review not helpful, go ahead, enjoy smoking your pot and chewing your mushrooms.

Summary: Hilarious comedy that never lets up
Review: Super Troopers is one of those movies that no matter how many times you watch it, you're still going to think it's funny. It's the story of 5 Vermont State Troopers fighting to keep their station open. They then go into a war with the Local Police who seem to try to take credit for everything they do, or sabatage their progress. After a while though things about the local cops start to get suspicious, and it seems something that's not exactly legal may be going on with them. The movie is written by "Broken Lizard", a team of 5 writers who play the five state troopers in the movie.

The best part of the movie by far is the characters. The 5 state troopers are each unique and different, and are absolutely hilarious.Among them you have Rabbit, the rookie cop who doesn't really know that much about his job yet, Mac the crazy one who will do absolutely anything, Foster the one with a love affair going on with the local cop Ursula, and of course Farva the funniest part of the entire movie. It also seems that the troopers don't take their job seriously, as they like to pull pranks on their unlucky traffic victims, like saying meow ten times to a driver who's been pulled over, no wonder their station is being shut down. However if you buy this movie for only one thing, you have to buy it for Officer Rob Farva. He is perhaps the funniest character I've ever watched. The things he says and does are just outrageously funny, and you could very well picture this guy being a state trooper. If you watch the credits after the movie, you see Farva's famous school bus incident which is talked about in the movie. One of my favorite things that Farva does is when they are at a dinner party, he says to Mac "hey you wanna go hit for hit?" and Mac hits him downstairs. All Farva can say "Oh I did not specify". Haha. The pranks and other gags are also very funny, and enough to keep you entertained for the hour and a half or so the movie lasts. The underlying story isn't that bad either.

If you like comedies, I don't see how you couldn't like Super Troopers. It's definitely one of the funniest I've ever seen. I think the people who don't like it either read into it too or expect something else, and the movie never really gets a fair chance with them. Officer Rod Farva is definitely worth the price of admission though, and this one is much better than
"Broken Lizard"'s latest "Club Dread"

Review: I must admit, I thought it looked stupid when I saw the theater previews, and the first time I saw it (back in 2002), it didn't strike me as all that funny. I found out that, for me especially, this is one of those movies that you need to give a second chance, because when I did, I enjoyed it thoroughly. I just had to get myself in the frame of mind that THESE GUYS ARE COPS, and their actions don't reflect those of most policemen today. I can't stop watching it, even now 2 years later. It has an original cast of characters (most of which this was their debut to the big screen) and an incredibly random and chaotic storyline that jumps all around from the highway cops just doing stupid things and having a great time, and we get the laugh at their expense. I don't want to get myself started talking about this movie because I could talk about it for quite a long time. If you haven't seen this, and know cops or even are a cop, you need to see this, and I think you would thoroughly enjoy it!

Summary: Funny for a certain subsection of the population
Review: This is a funny movie if you are not sober. Drunk, stoned, whatever: this movie is better while intoxicated. The first 10 minutes are the funniest; it's all downhill from there. The story is kind of lame, but it is still funny. The humor is not as uproarious after the first scene, but it's still entertaining. Males 18-35 and college students should appreciate this movie the most.

Summary: Funny, but not Office Space funny.
Review: This is a moderately funny film, but I was expecting one of the all time greatest comedies from it. Go into it with my expectations, and you will be disappointed. Go into it looking for a few cheap laughs, and you will get your money's worth.
