Five bored, occasionally high and always ineffective Vermont state troopers must prove their worth to the governor or lose their jobs. After stumbling on a drug ring, they plan to make a bust, but a rival police force is out to steal the glory.
Super Troopers is a cult comedy built on irreverent sketch-style humor, memorable running gags, and the distinct Broken Lizard ensemble sensibility rather than strong plotting or dramatic craft. The plot is thin and functional at best — a loose framework for comedic bits. Acting is serviceable comedy-troupe work, charming within its niche but not technically impressive. Cinematography is basic and utilitarian. Novelty earns a 3 because the Broken Lizard voice is genuinely distinctive — the absurdist cop humor and specific Vermont setting give it a recognizable identity among early-2000s comedies. The ending resolves predictably and forgettably, consistent with its modest narrative ambitions.
