Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

John Brooks You don't watch a comedy like "Super Troopers" for its plot and the quality of its story structure, you just want to laugh. And although humor is very subjective and depends on each person, even if you buy into this one, the camaraderie/manly type vibe with the alcohol and the humping and all that sort of stuff, it's just not very funny. Often it's too self-indulgent and just doesn't offer nearly enough to the guy who isn't completely sold on it.The characters are nowhere near memorable, the level of creativity is fairly low all in all over the whole thing, and some gags are just too facile. You get the feeling not nearly enough effort was put into it.Some rare moments are truly funny though, there's at least one scene that one should find a genuinely amusing idea, but it's definitely a forgettable comedy, I'm sure many people distinctly feel that way even one day after watching it. Very different in tone but similar in theme, Police Academy for instance is way, way more memorable on a number of levels.4/10 for a sort of fun, sometimes boring viewing.

Mr-Fusion 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

Python Hyena Super Troopers (2001): Dir: Jay Chandrasekhar / Cast: Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Hefferman, Brian Cox, Marisa Coughlan, Paul Soter: Here is a comedy where the funny parts are featured in its trailer. It is about cops that are pushing harder to become better cops. When a major drug bust occurs four cops seize the opportunity to solve the case thus gaining the governor's favour. A murder victim has a tattoo of a cartoon monkey, which is the emblem seen on particular marijuana bags. Concept had potential yet structured as a series of situations that climax with an outright brawl. Director Jay Chandrasekhar handles the film's everyday feel effectively but characters are flat with the exception of officer Fahrber played by Kevin Hefferman. He is the one officer who holds interest as he becomes the bunt of jokes after an incident involving a school bus. This joke is addressed again in the conclusion where Hefferman again demonstrates why he rules this film. Chandrasekhar leads the rest of the ensemble including Brian Cox, Paul Soter and Marisa Coughlan but despite the efforts none of these characters are remotely interesting or funny for that matter. Some may compare it to Police Academy but that film found great comic potential within the various training sessions. This is a satire of cop reality programs that is basically a series of staged moments resulting in a comedy that is far from super. Score: 5 ½ / 10

Sean Lamberger A seriously thin, mindless exercise that has no right to be anywhere near as much fun as it actually is. The Broken Lizard guys basically use this as an excuse to wear trucker shades and sunglasses, then just ad-lib their way through a dozen identical situations with a broad variety of results. At some points, like the "busted stoners" opening spot, or the infamous "meow" exchange with Jim Gaffigan, it's uproariously, tear-streakingly hilarious. In just as many others, though, the crew overreaches to stay in character and their quips fall flat. Brian Cox pulls off a great Rip Torn impression as the reluctantly strict station captain, but his officers pay him so little heed that it doesn't amount to much more than a gag role, while basically everyone else on-camera seems content to play themselves. With just the faintest hint of an arching plot line and a weird non-ending before the credits, this is best seen as a series of interrelated sketches and nothing more... which makes it perfect for fans of a particular attention-sapping intoxicant.
