Saw the reviews and had to watch this and was quite disappointed. so much of the humour felt forced. Kept waiting until it became funny and it really didnt deliver.

One hour and forty minutes of comedy, and I only chuckled 4 times. Not exactly what I would call a good movie. This movie is the story of a group of State Troopers who goof off more than doing their actual job. However, when state budget cuts threaten to shut them or the rival local cops, the officers must do actual work. They battle the local cops in a case of marijuana distribution in their town through a series of hijinks and general goofiness. This movie was a mediocre plot put together with mediocre acting and creating a crap movie. Perhaps if I were stoned this movie would be a little more enjoyable.Soundtrack: 4- Most of the time the soundtrack made no sense with the movie. However, there were certain moments that worked.Script: 3- This script seemed to be haphazardly thrown together to make a movie that made no effort to be coherent. The plot had so many holes, that I'm amazed this movie held together at all.Originality: 4- Unorthodox cops who come together to save the day? Seen it hundreds of times. There are some different elements in her, but they have all been seen before. This made the movie very predictable.Cinematography: 3- This was a low budget film that made the best of what it had. It wasn't bad cinematography, but it wasn't really good either.Casting: 10- The actors in this film fit the parts they were cast in very well, so at least they got that right.Acting: 5- The acting in this movie was shoddy. It seemed as though everyone in this film was high the whole time they were shooting.Overall: 4.8

Thorny (Jay Chandrasekhar), Mac (Steve Lemme), Rabbit (Erik Stolhanske), Foster (Paul Soter) and Farva (Kevin Heffernan) are Vermont state troopers stationed near the border under Captain O'Hagan (Brian Cox). They are a bunch of wacky prankster cops in danger of losing their 50 miles of highway to the rival local Spurbury P.D. A dead woman is discovered and they let Chief Grady (Daniel von Bargen) of Spurbury take the case. Foster is infatuated with the lone woman cop Ursula (Marisa Coughlan) at the Spurbury P.D. The guys stumble onto a big shipment of marijuana which could be related to the dead woman.The five guys call themselves Broken Lizard. It's a lot of deadpan wacky humor. The guys have a nice charm about them. The jokes are mostly scattershot hit and miss. They are throwing everything on the screen but the guys' flat delivery takes much of the energy from the wackiness. The jokes don't land that hard but I really appreciate the relentless attempt.

The absurdity and deranged sense of humor of the Broken Lizard guys makes for very original movies and Super Trooper is their crowning achievement. The movie as a whole is somewhat mediocre and, similar to Half Baked and other cult classic comedies, it's more of a compilation of funny scenes thrown together to form a weak plot. In this case, a unit of mediocre highway troopers pulls various stunts while haphazardly attempting to save their jobs. Throw in a rival cop force, German nymphomaniacs, and drug using teenagers and you have some opportunities for laugh-out-loud moments, which is really what these movies are designed to do. Obviously they're not for everyone but if you don't take yourself too seriously and don't mind crude and profane humor, you'll enjoy this movie.
