Supertroopers

Sometimes you know what to expect to see in a sophomoric type of comedy movie.  Other times you get the unexpected.

Expected: boobies.
Unexpected: full male frontal

Expected: cops playing by their own rules.
Unexpected: patrolman so far out of the box that it is humiliating.

The state highway patrol in an area of Vermont is on the chopping block due to fiscal limitations.  The state troopers have made a drug bust, but the local police have taken over part of the investigation.  Procedure aside, the state troopers and local police do not particularly care for each other.  So much so that they have a fist fight during the film.

One of the state troopers begins a relationship with the lone female officer on the local police.  The two of them attempt to take down the police chief to save the state troopers jobs.  SPOILER ALERT: the local police are in on the drug running and are the protection.

I guess I was expecting more silliness from this movie.  Don't get me wrong.  There are plenty of scenes where things are not normal.  Like when two of the state troopers have a chugging contest with pancake syrup.  I wonder how many drunk college kids tried that one after seeing this movie.

I give this movie 2 out of 5 Afghanimation monkeys.
