Always looking for action, five over-enthusiastic but under-stimulated Vermont State Troopers raise hell on the highway, keeping motorists anxiously looking in their rearview mirrors. Between an ongoing feud with the local cops over whose you-know-what is bigger, and the state government wanting to shut them down, the "Super Troopers" find themselves precariously and hilariously heading toward calamity as they try to avoid extinction.

Sex and drug jokes abound in lowbrow comedy.

It made me yearn for the golden era of January, when Slackers was released.

It’s not smart, it’s not sophisticated, and it has all the dignity of a fat naked man covered in powdered sugar, but 'Super Troopers' is funny. At least most of the time.

Super Troopers, silly as it is, lands as a multifaceted, balanced, and hilarious look at policing (20th anniversary)

It's become somewhat of a cult comedy with a faithful fan base, despite containing almost no sequences that are laugh-out-loud funny or memorably unique.

Super Troopers knows exactly what kind of comedy it wants to be and fully embraces it. Broken Lizard fills the film with quotable dialogue, running gags, and absurd situations, while the legendary opening traffic stop sets the tone almost immediately. The idea of following a group of immature Vermont state troopers gives the movie a unique identity and creates plenty of opportunities for ridiculous encounters. Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter, and Erik Stolhanske have fantastic chemistry, making the group feel like lifelong friends. Their natural camaraderie keeps the humor entertaining, and the brisk pacing rarely lets the energy fade. The plot is little more than a framework to connect one comedic set piece to the next, and the juvenile humor won't appeal to everyone. Still, if you enjoy its brand of immature comedy, Super Troopers delivers plenty of memorable laughs and remains an easy film to revisit.

Super Troopers opens with a genuinely funny joke that had me belly-laughing right from the start. Unfortunately, the film never reaches that same high again. As it goes on, the humor steadily loses its quality, and there’s little in the way of character development or an engaging plot to fill the gap. It felt like I was waiting the entire runtime for the real movie to start only to reach the ending and go "that’s it?". While there are a few good jokes scattered throughout, they aren’t strong enough to support the film as a whole.
