Review: Super Troopers 2 Gets High On Recycled Comedy

超级士兵2(credit: Fox Search Light)

The crazy state troopers are back in Super Troopers 2. The comedic styles of Broken Lizard star in the movie consisting of Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter, and Erik Stolhanske. This time around, the former state troopers have a new opportunity to redeem themselves. As a border dispute between the U.S. and Canada emerges, the guys are tasked with establishing some order at the border Highway Patrol station.

The Good:

The casting for this movie was a nice fit. For the most part, many of the original cast are back, but it is the new additional cameos that were a nice treat. It’s probably best you don’t look them up just so you can be surprised.

我认为大多数人会欣赏的一件事是这部电影如何保持其原始语气和幽默感。在上一部电影中播出了很好的笑话,并在此续集中有几个新笑话。令人惊讶的是,这部电影并没有使自己的喜剧不屑一顾。毫无疑问,这部电影的最佳场景将是警察像在Super Troopers (2002).

It was cool how the comedy was tied into both the theme and setting of the story.我认为这部电影的写作在角色之间的对话方面做得很好。加拿大与美国之间的笑话是不错的选择。

The Bad:

While comedy is definitely subjective, this brand of brash, and sometimes crude, humor can probably come off as offensive to more sensitive audiences. While this film may play well for fans ofSuper Troopers (2002)许多的笑话可能not land with newer audience. This is primarily because too many of the jokes and references were callbacks to the previous Super Troopers film. The level of recycled comedy is almost like a gift and a curse. It does great as fan service, but not so much in evolving with today’s current sense of comedy.

判决:

超级士兵2is exactly what you’d expect this film to be if you’re a fan of the Broken Lizard group of comedians. While it has been a long time in between films, I think that超级士兵2was made specifically for fans of the group. Before going into this film, you practically must rewatchSuper Troopers (2002)again to fully appreciate what they do in this sequel. Otherwise, you’ll spend way too much time trying to remember certain characters or some of the punch lines of the jokes. Be sure to stay a little bit past the credits too because the bloopers are definitely funny. You’ll also understand the long running inside joke about “Fred Savage” that plays throughout the movie.
