Super Troopers 2

The eccentric Vermont state troopers, previously fired from their jobs, are called back into service to establish a new highway patrol station on the US-Canada border. This new assignment forces them to confront a border dispute over a historical patch of land and a Canadian Mountie force that is none too pleased to have them around. Shenanigans, pranks, and questionable police work ensue as the Super Troopers attempt to navigate their new jurisdiction and deal with their new counterparts.

Super Troopers 2 received generally mixed to negative reviews from critics, though it performed well at the box office, appealing to its existing fanbase. Reviewers often cited a lack of originality and diminishing comedic returns compared to the first film, while fans generally enjoyed the return of their favorite characters and their signature brand of humor.

• Relies heavily on nostalgia and the established comedic personas of its cast, often at the expense of fresh material.

• While some gags land with fans, many jokes feel recycled and lack the surprise or edge of the original.

• The plot involving a border dispute and Canadian Mounties provides a new setting but doesn't significantly elevate the comedic premise.

Google audience: Audience reviews indicate a split reaction: many long-time fans appreciated the return of the beloved characters and their signature humor, finding the film to be a fun, albeit predictable, continuation. However, a portion of viewers felt the sequel failed to capture the same magic as the original, with some jokes falling flat and the overall premise feeling less inspired.

The film was crowdfunded through Broken Lizard's own platform, Indiegogo, successfully raising over $4.4 million from fans eager for a sequel.
