Even though this is the first film by the broken lizard group, it's the last one I saw. Having mildly enjoyed Super Troopers, and managed to sit through the crap that is club dred and beerfest, I was surprised to hear they did an earlier film. Now i didn't sit down with high hopes, but was hoping for a funny campus romp. My friend asked me to keep in mind they are younger (obviously) and its their first foray into film. I did and was still disappointed. Not taking away the acting and comedy skills of the BL guys, they were OK. The whole film was tiresome, clichéd and frankly boring. Some of the other actors in the film were really poor at acting. And the Rugby game didn't even resemble rugby. Poor showing. They improved drastically with Super Troopers and have declined since. Lets hope they get back on form with Super Troopers 2

This is the first, independent film by Broken Lizard. The people who brought you such films as Super Troopers and Beerfest. This movie is a whole different kind of humor ( more like Clerks than their other movies).This movie relies less on slap stick and more on humorous situations that are not completely different from the normal college experience. The characters are not as wacky, but each one is more heart felt and real. And the story moves at a much slower pace than their other films but it is definitely worth a watch.7 out of 10

Alright, all of you who badmouth both this and Supertroopers really need to quiet down. This movie was made five years before Supertroopers, and it shows. The guys were in college, so they weren't quite as on target as they were later on, however I enjoyed this movie as much as both of the other two. People always use Supertroopers as a bar for these guys to be measured by, but that's not fair, Club Dread was in no way similar to Supertroopers, it was a completely different set up, so don't compare them. Same goes for Puddle Cruiser, different set up, they can't be looked at side by side. Overall, I'd give any Broken Lizard movie a chance, they guys are hilarious, and the best part is that every time you watch the movie, it gets funnier. Not many can do that today, and there are a lot of movies that try.If you want to be a real fan of Supertroopers, watch Puddle Cruiser, and see if you can recognize your beloved Vermont highway patrol officers beginning to take shape.

Before I get into the review, it's necessary for me to explain the summary. Super Troopers is a very funny movie, though I find Club Dread funnier, but I think Puddle Cruiser has the best story and is the best made film of the three. Now on with the review:I love romantic comedies, and the fact that this movie is a romantic comedy (though not in the conventional sense, is great. Each member of Broken Lizard is great in this film, though I particularly love Eric Stolhanske as Freaky Reaky, he's just a fun character and easily on the level with Farva from Super Troopers, another character who is just out there and weird. Heffernan and Soter are great as Grogan and Matt, the two characters that set this story into motion. They are the comic relief of this movie and they pull it off nicely.Jay Chandrasekhar plays the best friend character of the movie and it's always great to see Jay, since I know he must really be talented cause he's able to direct while acting in the movies, which is a treat (I get a kick out of actor directors for some reason).And finally, we get to the main character. Felix, played by Steve Lemme. This character is so far removed from Mac in Super Troopers, and even Jaun in Club Dread that you'd almost mistake them for different actors. Hell everyone in Broken Lizard is able to play completely different characters that if you didnt know all three movies were made by the same people, you might think it was five different actors in each movie (except for Paul Soter, as much as I like him he doesnt seem to change much from movie to movie).
