You know that feeling you get when you see a trailer that looks sorta funny, but then you realize, I’ve felt this before, but the movie has always sucked. Well, we approached Super Troopers with that same sort of trepidation, but we can happily announce that we laughed our asses off.

Super Troopers made us realize that, after the likes of Slackers, Black Knight, Shallow Hal, and countless other “comedies,” we still do, in fact, have a sense of humor. It wasn’t us after all! Those movies really were just that unfunny! Whew! What a relief. This tale of a group of offbeat state policemen and their less-than-professional hijinks (or “shenanigans,” but that’s a joke you’ll get only after you see the movie) is just really funny. We can’t explain it, we don’t want to, and we don’t have to—although the likes of “Afghanimation” (a joke that shows a lot of foresight on their part, huh?) and the “de-lousing” scene had us snickering long after the movie was over. Find where it’s playing and see it.
