“Super Troopers” is a comedy movie about a team of mischievous highway patrol officers who love to play pranks on one another and the public. They find themselves in a competition with the local police department and must use their wits to outsmart them. The humor is raunchy and over-the-top, but the characters are endearing and keep you laughing from beginning to end. It’s like “Animal House” meets “Police Academy” with a dash of “Dumb and Dumber.”

Review
If you haven’t seen the cult classic comedy “Super Troopers” by now, then you’re missing out on 100 minutes of pure hilarity and ridiculousness. Released in 2001, the film follows a group of five Vermont state troopers who spend their days pulling pranks on each other and generally being lovable goofballs. But when their station’s funding is threatened, they must prove their worth by cracking down on highway speeders and drug smugglers.
The movie was written by the comedy troupe Broken Lizard, who also starred in the film as the main characters. The group had been performing together for years before “Super Troopers,” and their chemistry on screen is a testament to their close friendship. In fact, many of the jokes in the movie were ad-libbed or based on real-life experiences.
One particularly memorable scene sees the troopers engaging in a game of “meow,” where they must work the word into conversation with motorists during routine traffic stops. The game was inspired by an actual prank that Broken Lizard member Steve Lemme played on his own father.
However, not everyone was a fan of “Super Troopers” upon its release. Many critics found it juvenile and unfunny, while others accused it of being racially insensitive. The film’s portrayal of two Canadian characters as stereotypical French-Canadian ne’er-do-wells drew particular criticism.
But despite these criticisms, “Super Troopers” has endured as a beloved cult classic. It has spawned a sequel (aptly titled “Super Troopers 2”), merchandise ranging from t-shirts to beer glasses to hot sauce, and even a spin-off TV show in development.
Perhaps one reason for its lasting popularity is its soundtrack, which features songs from artists like Supergrass, Alice Cooper, and The Ramones. The opening song – Supergrass’s “Alright” – sets the tone perfectly for the zany antics that are to come.
Another factor is the film’s quotability. Lines like “I’m gonna pistol-whip the next guy who says ‘shenanigans'” and “You boys like Mexico?!” have become ingrained in pop culture lexicon.
But ultimately, what makes “Super Troopers” so endearing is its characters. Each member of the titular trooper team has their own quirks and personalities, from the hapless rookie Rabbit to the stoner Mac to the perpetually annoyed Farva.
Even Captain O’Hagan – played by Brian Cox, a frequently-serious actor best known for his roles in films like “Braveheart” and “Adaptation” – gets in on the fun, delivering lines like “Desperation is a stinky cologne.”
While it may not be for everyone, those who appreciate irreverent, absurd comedies will find plenty to love in “Super Troopers.” It’s a movie that doesn’t take itself too seriously, but still manages to have heart and charm. As Farva himself might say: “Meow that’s what I’m talkin’ about.”
