"Super Troopers 2"

As a small state, Vermont has only a handful of claims to fame in the world of cinema. "Beetlejuice" was filmed in Springfield. The former bridge connecting West Addison, Vermont to Crown Point, New York was featured in "What Lies Beneath" and "Me, Myself and Irene" had that scene where Jim Carey gets into a fight with a group of softball players over a flicked cigarette in my home town of Addison. Yet while this movie isn't filmed in Vermont, it has Vermonters lining up well in advance with sold out shows across the state. All for the comedy team that is brave enough to portray themselves as Vermont Highway Patrol officers in the much anticipated sequel seventeen years in the making.

Taking place not long after the events of the first movie, we find Thorny (Jay Chandrasekhar), Mac (Steve Lemme), Foster (Paul Soter), Rabbit (Erik Stohlhanske) and of course Farva (Kevin Heffernan) along with their Captain O'Hagan (Brian Cox) are no longer state troopers due to an incident involving drive along gone wrong and now working as construction workers, loggers or otherwise unemployed. Driving up to Canada on what is suppose to be a fishing trip, they learn from their Captain and Governor Jessman (Lynda Carter) that due to some misplaced land markers that Vermont is about to gain more land along with a local town and they need them there to take over enforcing the law from the local Mounties.

From the start the Mounties and the locals don't like having them there and are not afraid to express it. Yet things get more interesting when they stumble across some assorted pills, counterfeit phones and arsenal that is illegal in the U.S. As the boys try to figure out what's going on in this town and pulling their shenanigans along the way, they find they must step up their game and use their out of the box tactics to save the day.

As expected from Broken Lizard, they pull out all the stops. A laugh riot that keeps rolling the punches and delivers shocking humor that will keep you laughing until the end. A slap-stick style that will make you cringe and cheer for more. I pin five G.M.Stars on each of these officers for daring and crazy enough to go the extra mile to enforce the law and make us laugh until we can't breathe.
