I remember liking this movie a lot the first few times I saw it, maybe it's just because I was younger and more easily entertained. Don't get me wrong, when this movie has a good scene, they're done very well. A couple examples are the very first scene, and my personal favorite, the "Liter of Cola" scene. These scenes are hilarious, with good writing and performances. However, I feel like the movie relies too much on the viewer thinking it's automatically funny. Like, there are some scenes I didn't laugh at, but the characters paused as if I was supposed to. Scenes like these kind of make the movie feel like a sit-com with the laugh track off. Also, while the story is pretty weak, they manage to do they best with what they have, except for the scene where the handcuff Farva to the toilet. How the hell did he get free of that situation? I'm sure it's supposed to be funny, but none of the characters ask him afterwards, so it feels almost like a missed joke to me. I'm glad I saw it again, but I probably won't see it another time after this.
... View MoreJust watch it , i will write it first so you will not have any second thoughts. Really , this movie has it all in it . Sure it is mostly stupid jokes and moments but these little moments doesn't fail to deliver a very funny experience to the viewer. I don't know how they put together cast like this , but every one of the is funny as hell , every one of them bringing us a character to remember. This movie is a gem and i hope it will be a classic if its not considered classic these days. One thing to remember thats important , its not a comedy for family , it has dirty scenes and jokes. I would describe it as the one of the best comedies to drink beer to.
... View MoreSuper Troopers is about four state troopers that do shenanigans and have a rivalry with the police. That's the whole plot.The intro and ending were great, they really tied up the story pretty well. But I'm afraid the rest of the movie wasn't that good.The film wasn't that funny, the jokes were not amusing at all.No wonder this is considered a stoner flick, you'd have to be pretty stone to enjoy it. And honestly, I don't know why it's considered one at all, they smoke weed once in the entire movie.The movie had no character development at all, although it had good dialogue.Farva reminded me of Gomer Pyle from FMJ and the moustaches were a nice touch to the troopers.Overall, the movie was OK.
... View MoreSuper 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
