Super Troopers

I have a list of movies that, when airing on TV, I tend to get sucked into. "Super Troopers" is absolutely one of those. This thing's hysterical. It's sophomoric to the core, but it'd be a disservice to chalk it up to your run-of-the-mill immaturity. On paper, pretty much all of these jokes should fall flat; but this group of players is extremely well-suited to the material - which is really just a long series of memorable one-liners. And then they throw in Brian Cox and Danial von Bargen, and there's no weak link in this cast. But it's really the stupid things these guys resort to when they're bored. Sometimes I think we should all incorporate cat games into our everyday.

I love this movie.

8/10

I have seen this movie about 25 times and it is absolutely one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. The comedy is fresh and deep at times but if you have any sort of a sense of humor...you'll love it. The characters are built well and the film flows evenly until the end. Farva is the funniest character and works well with the others.

Buy it!

The ensemble cast in this film takes the just above average drug humor and turns it into a laugh festival. I rate this movie as funny as Animal House.

The Local Highway Troopers are hapless, hopeless, and not anyone you want on YOUR highway, but man are they funny! You truly find yourself loving this crew as they struggle to keep their station open in the face of budget cuts.

The characters are so widely diverse yet so believable from the ethnically questionable leader of the crew Arkot Ramathorne (Thorny) whose girlfriend runs a head shop to the adorable and insane Mack whose wild stunts steal the show on a regular basis.

I just finished watching Super Troopers, and now I am reading all of your reviews in amazement. Super Troopers was the funniest movie since Caddyshack?? The best "film" of 2001?? Broken Lizard is right up there with Monty Python?? WHAT????? Has everyone gone mad?

No, seriously. Did I miss something? It is a sheer mystery to me how this movie ever got made. If you consider this movie funny, I'm curious as to what you find unfunny.

This movie was hysterical! The way they joked around with each other was so true to life! It wasn't unrealistic at all! Anybody who sees this will have to agree that there is at least one character in the film that reminds them of one of their buddies! I know it sure reminded me of the guys that hang around me! We just saw the movie this evening on IFC in widescreen, without commercials, and unedited. I am very happy I waited to see it this way instead of a TNT, TBS, USA, or FOX broadcast version. I am definitely getting this movie on DVD as soon as possible! The outtakes and behind the scenes features are probably fantastic!
