Blu-Ray dvd movie review of Super Troopers

Some might pass this off as a stoner film with Police Academy twist. They would be wrong. This is far from being a typical stoner films. Little known comedy group, Broken Lizard, wrote and started in this low budget comedy film. What appears to be an average drug humor film turns out to be an excellent laugh fest from start to finish. The ensemble cast from Broken Lizard including the writer and director are all competent in acting and excellent in comedic situations.

The plot revolves around ridiculous and stupid antics from team of five Vermont State Troopers. Thorny, Farva, Mac, Foster, and Rabbit are all fairly incompetent jokesters. The central plot revolves around the mayor trying to shut down the police station to cut some budget. This plan gets complicated when a murder involving drugs some how occur on their strip of highway. The troopers proceed to try to solve this case to save their station and their job. Now, this doesn't sound like much of comedic situation. Except, there are absolutely hilarious situations and comedic moments throughout the movie.

The Broken Lizard group puts on a very competent performance from unknown casts. They might have good or bad reputation as comedic group. I have no idea since I have not heard or seen their performance prior to this movie. But, the casts are all very good actors. The five central characters including the director and writer Jay Chandraskehar all do very good job portraying the "super" troopers. It's not Oscar worthy stuff but I doubt we expect that kind of performance from a comedy movie involving 5 loser cops.

Overall, it is a great film with great pace and lots of funny physical humor. The film features terrific characters and terrific five leads. Even with low budget, the film does not feel cheap or rushed. I am looking forward to the sequel in 2010.
