Threat advisory: Elevated - Significant risk of entertaining activities

Movie propaganda

Bringing the world of law enforcement to its knees.

Thorny (Jay Chandrasekhar), Rabbit (Erik Stolhanske), Mac (Steve Lemme) and Foster (Paul Soter) are passable Vermont State Troopers. Stationed in the boonies on the Canadian border, they spend the bulk of their time playfully toying with speeders, messing with the minds of stoned joy riders 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 John O'Hagan (Brian Cox) and avoid their tactless, thick-necked compatriot, officer Rod Farva (Kevin Heffernan). All in all, they find their work to be pleasantly unchallenging. Super troopers is a fast-paced comedy about cops, crime and killing time!

Also starring Daniel von Bargen as Chief Grady, Marisa Coughlan as Ursula, Lynda Carter as Governor Jessman, John Bedford Lloyd as Mayor Timber, Jim Gaffigan as Larry Johnson and Michael Weaver as Officer Rando. Directed by Jay Chandrasekhar.

Theatrical report

Fun and laffs and that's about it.

Super troopers has little more going for it than Kung pow: enter the fist. It's a collection of low-brow gags designed to titillate without recourse to intellect. Parts of it are hilarious (picture an overweight cop going postal on a burger boy) but the plot is so weak that the flick barely hangs together. The relationship between Foster and Ursula is targeted at the demographic: socially inept teenage boys with no hope of getting a date.

If that's you, go get Super troopers.

PS: Jay Chandrasekhar does a great impression of Nicolas Cage.
