 "Wins my vote for 'The 2002 Enemy of Cinema' Award."
-- Victoria Alexander, FILMSINREVIEW.COM
 "May seriously impair your ability to ever again maintain a straight face while speaking to a highway patrolman."
-- Todd Anthony, SOUTH FLORIDA SUN-SENTINEL
"While Super Troopers is above Academy standards, its quintet of writers could still use some more schooling."
-- Rod Armstrong, REEL.COM
"Despite its good nature and some genuinely funny moments, Super Troopers suffers from a bad case of arrested development."
-- Rob Caley, JAM! MOVIES
"Succeeds in providing a disquiet world the long-dreaded completion of the Police Academy series."
-- Walter Chaw, FILM FREAK CENTRAL
"...if you’re in a mind set for goofy comedy, the troopers will entertain with their gross outs, bawdy comedy and head games."
-- Robin Clifford, REELING REVIEWS
"Super Troopers is an odd amalgam of comedy genres, existing somewhere between the often literal riffs of early Zucker Brothers/Abrahams films, and the decidedly foul stylings of their post-modern contemporaries, The Farrelly Brothers."
-- Tim Cogshell, BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE
"The genuinely funny jokes far outnumber the duds."
-- Michael Dequina, FILM THREAT
"Comedy troupe Broken Lizard’s first movie is very funny but too concerned with giving us a plot."
-- Mark Dujsik, MARK REVIEWS MOVIES
"A noble failure."
-- Ed Gonzalez, SLANT MAGAZINE
"Definitely not the knee-slapper that I was told it would be, but enough hahas for me to grade as passable."
-- JoBlo, JOBLO'S MOVIE EMPORIUM
"The cast, collectively a successful example of the lovable-loser protagonist, shows deft comic timing."
-- Ellen Kim, SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER
"Such a wildly uneven hit-and-miss enterprise, you can't help suspecting that it was improvised on a day-to-day basis during production."
-- Joe Leydon, SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER

"It's frustrating to see these guys -- who are obviously pretty clever -- waste their talent on parodies of things they probably thought were funniest when they were high."
-- Annette Cardwell, FILMCRITIC.COM
"The movie is about as humorous as watching your favorite pet get buried alive."
-- Jason Clark, MATINEE MAGAZINE
"While this one gets off with a good natured warning, future Lizard endeavors will need to adhere more closely to the laws of laughter"
-- Laura Clifford, REELING REVIEWS
"It’s not particularly well made, but since I found myself howling more than cringing, I’d say the film works."
-- David Cornelius, AMAZING COLOSSAL WEBSITE
"An appealingly juvenile trifle that delivers its share of laughs and smiles."
-- Michael Dequina, MR. BROWN'S MOVIES
"A painfully leaden film destined for pre-dawn cable television slots."
-- Daniel Eagan, FILM JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL
"It's not original, and, robbed of the element of surprise, it doesn't have any huge laughs in its story of irresponsible cops who love to play pranks."
-- Chris Hewitt, ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS
"The pleasures of Super Troopers may be fleeting, but they'll register strongly with anybody who still retains a soft spot for precollegiate humor."
-- Glenn Kenny, PREMIERE MAGAZINE
"These guys seem great to knock back a beer with but they're simply not funny performers."
-- Jim Lane, SACRAMENTO NEWS & REVIEW
". Curiously, Super Troopers suffers because it doesn't have enough vices to merit its 103-minute length."
-- Dan Lybarger, LYBARGER LINKS

ROTTEN 42%
Avg. Rating: 5.1/10 |
"This 100-minute movie only has about 25 minutes of decent material."
-- Jason Anderson, GLOBE AND MAIL
"Contains a few big laughs but many more that graze the funny bone or miss it altogether, in part because the consciously dumbed-down approach wears thin."
-- Mark Caro, CHICAGO TRIBUNE
"It's a scattershot affair, but when it hits its mark it's brilliant."
-- Gary Dowell, DALLAS MORNING NEWS
"I can't quite recommend it -- it's too patched together -- but I almost can; it's the kind of movie that makes you want to like it."
-- Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
"Close enough in spirit to its freewheeling trash-cinema roots to be a breath of fresh air."
-- Mark Holcomb, VILLAGE VOICE
"The best thing about the movie is its personable, amusing cast."
-- Desson Howe, WASHINGTON POST
"It's consistently funny, in an irresistible junior-high way, and consistently free of any gag that would force you to give it a millisecond of thought."
-- Terry Lawson, DETROIT FREE PRESS
"[A] smarter and much funnier version of the old Police Academy flicks."
-- Lou Lumenick, NEW YORK POST
"The dirty jokes provide the funniest moments in this oddly sweet comedy about jokester highway patrolmen."
-- Carla Meyer, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
"This dubious product of a college-spawned (Colgate U.) comedy ensemble known as Broken Lizard plays like a mix of Cheech and Chong and CHiPs."
-- Steven Rea, PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

"It's kind of sad that so many people put so much time and energy into this turkey."
-- Moira MacDonald, SEATTLE TIMES
