Super Troopers review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 11/10/12
This rater never laughed so hard since Old School. It is such a rarity these days where a good story/script can make a comedy effective since it seems the hallmark today is having a popular star. In this critic's view, comedy would be the most difficult to review/rate since its easy to make somebody cry or think, but it's hard to make somebody laugh, especially when playing cops. The idea may have not been realistic and the picture of Spurbury Police Department against Vermont State Troopers was ludicrous. Still, it was difficult to resist the zany characters of the strategic Arcot "Thorny" Ramathorn (Jay Chandrasekhar), explosive "Rod" Farva (Heffernan), prankster "Mac" Womack (Lemme), playful rookie "Rabbit" Roto (Stolhanske) and loverboy Jeff Foster (Soter) led by Captain John O'Hagan (Cox). Performances and comic timing was flawless. The plot was interesting for a comedy and score was rocking. It's best feature was the screenplay since almost every scene was laugh-out loud funny. This rude/obnoxious film is much better than Superbad and The Hangover, because of its similar type of humor. Super Troopers may not be a popular movie for its genre or even picked highly by critics, it does however delivers the need smile/laughs while representing justice for police corruption and showing that friendship is important no matter what your profession is.
