Super Troopers (2001)

BEST MOVIE

If you enjoy ribbing aching humor, this is your movie. Non-stop laughing. I would recommend this to anyone. November 25, 2008

There's a reason it's a cult classic

Super 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, to the various Farva idiosyncrasies that make his character one deserving of a sequel, Super Troopers is without a doubt one of the funniest movies ever made.

Keeping up consistent laughs is the key to a really good comedy, and therein lies the greatness of this movie. Even a toned down scene of serving coffee at the station or eating breakfast at a local diner - there is no way someone could chug that much syrup - is saturated with humor.

Rather than spoiling the various gags with all sorts of detail, it's best to just highly recommend this laugh-riot. For maximum pleasure, I recommend inviting German swingers over, having a pre-movie viewing of Afghanistanimation, serving nothing but liters of cola, and listening to the cat on your lap gently meow.

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 hoping we don't get pulled over, so it's nice to watch a bunch of knuckleheads playing the roles of cops and we are able to laugh at them without getting a nightstick to the head. The story is mostly about the Highway Patrol and the local Police Department's rivalry. Jokes are played, fights happen, German's are pulled over and "held hostage", and of course booze and drugs are abundant. There's a nice love story that has it's funny moments, but the king of this movie for me is Farva... the over excited cop who just knows how to annoy everyone in his own special way. Farva steals this movie in my opinion. This is definitely a movie that everyone should own because just like Office Space you can watch this movie over and over again. 5 stars for these guys.
