Film ThreatMichael Dequina
Luckily, the genuinely funny jokes far outnumber the duds in the film itself, which is helped by the generally energetic performances by Broken Lizard and their co-stars. Read full review

VarietyDavid Rooney
A fairly sustained barrage of broad undergraduate humor and gross-out gags that should tickle young auds looking for unsophisticated laughs. Read full review

Chicago ReaderLisa Alspector
Though there's a crime to be solved, a romance to go awry, and lots of trooper-police politics to elaborate on, the strangely drawn out pacing somehow feels fresh rather than oppressive. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyLisa Schwarzbaum
Scattershot, hit-and-often-miss comedy. Read full review

Rolling StonePeter Travers
Broken Lizard does it with a shit-faced integrity that's worth a salute. Read full review

Village VoiceMark Holcomb
Close enough in spirit to its freewheeling trash-cinema roots to be a breath of fresh air. Read full review

Washington PostDesson Thomson
The best thing about the movie is its personable, amusing cast, all members of the five-man comedy troupe Broken Lizard. There's a chemistry among them, which obviously comes from having been together as comedians at Colgate University. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineSteve Simels
Fans of cheesy '70s TV shows will also be pleased by Wonder Woman Lynda Carter's brief cameo appearance as the governor of Vermont. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMark Caro
Manages to leave the impression that it was funny even though most of its jokes don't score. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jason Anderson
When Farva sees O'Hagan in civilian wear -- a denim jacket and blue jeans -- he asks his boss, "Where'd you get the Canadian tuxedo?" Such moments may not be as exciting as the sight of Homer Simpson at the CN Tower, but they'll do. Read full review

Baltimore SunChris Kaltenbach
Puerile, offensive, degrading, dumb, pointless, insipid and may just well be a harbinger for the end of Western civilization as we know it. But I laughed. Sorry.

Austin ChronicleKimberley Jones
The exceedingly silly Super Troopers is an earnest, mostly funny spoof. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyChuck Wilson
Begins so well that it's painful to watch it degenerate into tried-and-true frat-boy humor. Read full review

New Times (L.A.)Luke Y. Thompson
It's technically a well-made film: Chandrasekhar, who directed, gives it the look of a studio feature on a sizably smaller budget. It's just the script that betrays its cast. Read full review
