Stationed in the boonies on the Canadian border, they spend the bulk of their time playfully toying with speeders, stoned... Thorny, Rabbit, Mac and Foster are passable Vermont State Troopers. Stationed in the boonies on the Canadian border, they spend the bulk of their time playfully toying with speeders, stoned joyriders and taking impounded sports cars for spins on the open highway. When they're not on the road, they try to stay on the good side of their fatherly mentor, Captain O'Hagan, and avoid their tactless, thick-necked compatriot, Officer Rod Farva. All in all, they find their work to be pleasantly unchallenging.

Unfortunately, their quiet existence hasn't gone unnoticed. The state has targeted their low volume station for a potential budget slash. Hoping to avoid the axe, the guys buckle down to impress the higher ups. But success is hard to come by. First, they find it's not so easy to change their brazen style. Then things get more complicated as the Troopers start to hit obstacles set by their law enforcement rivals, the shifty Local Earlville Police force. The local cops smell the demise of their State competition and gladly do what they can to speed the shut down.

As things begin to look bleak, the State Troopers' new "by the book" operation produces an unexpected gift. During a routine traffic stop, they uncover a drug smuggling operation running across the border to Canada. Sensing salvation, the Troopers race the clock to crack the ring and save their jobs. But they aren't the only ones in the hunt. The Local cops are also on the case, hoping to crack it themselves and put the last nail in their adversary's coffin.

The sprint is on. An elusive cartoon monkey, a Winnebago full of dope, a bear-groping hunter and a sticky forbidden love affair between Trooper Foster and lovely Local Officer Ursula Hanson all cloud the picture as the Troopers scrap for survival.

Peter Canavese

Tears out at a refreshingly reckless pace, then gradually settles into a law-abiding speed. [Blu-ray]

Pablo Villaca

Filme amalucado, mas com grande espírito de diversão. É incrível que o filme consiga estabelecer tamanha empatia por seus heróis, já que estes são imbecis e só fazem besteira.

The movie is as juvenile and silly as it looks. But it's also funnier than you would expect.

This is one of those films that makes movie critics embarassed to admit they liked it without first smoking a joint.

Ian Waldron-Mantgani

If the shots were more focused and the sound design had a little more punch, this could be an amazing film instead of just an endearing one.
