The New York TimesGlenn KennyApr 19, 2018
The antics never out-and-out surprise, but they almost never fail to amuse. Read full review

IGNTom JorgensenApr 16, 2018
Meow, it may feel familiar, but that doesn’t mean you won’t have fun along the way with Super Troopers 2. Read full review

Paste MagazineAndrew CrumpApr 21, 2018
Juvenile is as juvenile does, but the Broken Lizard fellows supplement their puerile nonsense with abiding endearment. They’re idiots, but sincere, disarming idiots. Like the characters they play in both movies, they mean well, but meaning well comes in second to antics when spending your career making concerted efforts to avoid responsibility. Read full review

UproxxVince ManciniApr 17, 2018
Super Troopers 2 is broad and hammy, like a lot of comedy, but unlike a lot, it makes little pretense to realism. It’s proud dad humor. It pokes you in the ribs enough times that the obnoxiousness eventually takes on a weird charm. Read full review

ReelViewsJames BerardinelliApr 20, 2018
In the interval between the release of "Super Troopers" and its sequel, we have moved on. For better or worse, Broken Lizard hasn’t. As a result, some of what would have been side-splitting in 2001 barely provokes a chuckle in 2018. Read full review

EmpireOlly RichardsJun 18, 2018
A sequel nobody needed, and very few demanded, but one that is nice to have anyway. Very daft and very childish and mostly very funny. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeApr 16, 2018
Though less funny than the first, it will play well to those who are in the mood. Read full review

We Got This CoveredLuke ParkerApr 21, 2018
Meow, there are laughs to be had here and there throughout Super Troopers 2, but unless you’re really riding the Highway Patrol's wave of manic police work, miss this stale revival and stick to the original. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyApr 20, 2018
Isn’t aggressively terrible or outrageously offensive. It’s just harmless, pointless, and meh. You’d think with 17 years at their disposal these guys would be able to come up with some jokes that weren’t so half-baked and dumb. Alas, this is low-hanging fruit all the way. Read full review

Rolling StoneDavid FearApr 20, 2018
The problem here isn't excessive pandering; the sheer existence of this second movie is already 100-percent fan service. It's that it doesn't give you much beyond a very subjective view of what these guys find hilarious. Read full review

RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsApr 20, 2018
This bloated, unfocused follow-up—which was tellingly crowd-funded by fans and then released by Fox Searchlight—takes all of the charming goofiness of the first film, and runs it deep into the ground with gags that either over- or under-think these stock characters' original appeal.

Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperApr 19, 2018
While the members of the Broken Lizard comedy group retain their likability, and there’s something kind of endearing about the disjointed, throw-everything-at-the-wall, “Caddyshack” type chaos behind the comedy, there are simply too many dead spots and cheap jokes and flat gags to carry a full-length feature.

Philadelphia Daily NewsNick VadalaApr 19, 2018
The problem isn’t that the humor is inappropriate, it’s that after almost two decades, it isn’t as funny. Read full review

The Associated PressJake CoyleApr 18, 2018
While Super Troopers 2...may be just enough to satiate any remaining die-hards, it’s not likely to convert many new moviegoers to their syrup-swilling, “meow”-ing ways. Read full review

The movie stumbles through its shaggy comedy aesthetic with mixed results. Read full review

TheWrapWilliam BibbianiApr 20, 2018
Even though they sometimes land a great joke, the troopers aren’t inherently amusing or even all that likable this time around. They’re undeniably corrupt cops, even if they are relatively benign about it. Super Troopers 2 still manages to be funny quite a bit of the time, but the word “funny” needs an asterisk next to it, warning that the laughs might carry with them a certain amount of guilt.

ConsequenceClint WorthingtonApr 17, 2018
Super Troopers 2 amounts to nothing more than a limp reunion tour where they seem to feel obligated to play the hits. Read full review

The A.V. ClubSean O'NealApr 17, 2018
Its very existence is a testament to lowered expectations. That said, it seems like a real missed opportunity for Broken Lizard, which has only seen diminishing returns since the original. Read full review

Time OutMichael GingoldApr 25, 2018
Only the most easily pleased fans of foul-mouthed comedy will respond to these jokes and set pieces, which generally lack cleverness or comic imagination. Read full review

Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzApr 19, 2018
What really saves Super Troopers 2, to the extent that it even wants to be saved, is how gleefully the Broken Lizard bunch goes about its work. Read full review

Slant MagazineKeith WatsonApr 18, 2018
Given the sheer amount of comic material here, some of the jokes are bound to fall flat, but the hit-to-miss ratio is depressingly low. Read full review

Washington PostPat PaduaApr 18, 2018
A lowbrow comedy so irreverent it could almost be considered a subversive indictment of law enforcement, not to mention lowbrow humor. Almost, that is, if it were remotely funny. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovApr 25, 2018
Super Troopers 2 is a movie out of time and out of sync with comedy in 2018. It might have managed the success of its precursor, if only it had been released in 2002. Read full review

VarietyOwen GleibermanApr 18, 2018
Super Troopers 2 is an aggressively lame and slobby comedy full of cardboard characters and in-your-face naughty jokes that feel about as dangerous as old vaudeville routines. Read full review

San Francisco ChroniclePeter HartlaubApr 20, 2018
A film that looks way more fun to make than it is to watch. There’s a stubbornness to the comedic approach, mostly in its unwillingness to age since the first “Super Troopers.” Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshApr 19, 2018
Have I changed so much that I can't find this funny anymore? Nah. Broken Lizard hasn't changed enough to keep up with the times, turning in a badly degraded copy of the original. Stale, unfunny and offensive is quite the hat trick. Read full review

Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlApr 17, 2018
The sequel is so profound a buzzkill they could sell it at GNC as a detox kit. No high can survive it. It slays fun dead, grinds cannabinoids to dust, and maybe even wipes the mind of the warmth you might hold for the original Super Troopers. Read full review

Coming soon to a screen in hell’s multiplex is Super Troopers 2, a sequel that sets back Canadian-American relations to an 1812 level and retroactively awards an Oscar to "Porky’s II" and a Pulitzer citation to 1995’s "Canadian Bacon." Read full review
