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 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. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - There's a reason it's a cult classicSuper Trooper is a wacky tale chronicling the happenings of the Highway Patrol as they arrest criminals, battle the local Police Department over jurisdiction, and get into all sorts of shenanigans while pulling pranks on the job. The clear allure of this movie is that it's filled to the brim with zany antics. It's Dumb and Dumber and Wedding Crashers with badges. From the beginning chase scene with the stoned kids who were littering and, littering and, littering and smoking the reefer, ...

Has the best opening scene I have seen in a long time.... Rating: - Stop Jumping On The Bed!Super Troopers is one of those movies that I like to pull off the shelf every month or so and watch it. To me, this fact makes it a classic. I simply can't get enough of this movie. I'm not so sure if this is an over the top hilarious movie throughout, but there is something about these characters playing the roles of cops that just works. Broken Lizard did a great job in this movie and I really like the energy they bring to the table. I think I love this movie so much because most of us spend our commutes ... Read More Rating: - Meow!All right, so this is not a *great* movie. Maybe it's more of a minor cult classic. Having said that, it's worth the watch for the meow scene. I don't think I've laughed that hard watching a movie. Agreeing with other reviewers, it is a bit hit and miss, but when it's on, it's hilarious. Meow, go grab yourself some popcorn and you go watch this movie. |
