What to Know

Critics Consensus

Potty humor and juvenile antics keep this workplace comedy from being particularly funny or memorable.

Thirteen-year-old boys big enough to sneak into R-rated movies are presumably the prime audience for this witless comedy from the Broken Lizard troupe. Go to Full Review
Neil Genzlinger New York Times Dec 11, 2009
2.5/5
It has its share of funny moments. But it also has its share of tired ones. Go to Full Review
Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post Dec 11, 2009
2/4
Much of the film's humor hovers around crotch level. If jokes about mental illness, terminal disease and sex with orangutans sound funny to you, go for it. Go to Full Review

... a warmed-over blend of bathroom humor, backstabbing shenanigans and humiliation. Go to Full Review
Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media Apr 16, 2010
2/5
The ensemble cast is fresh-faced and ready to embarrass themselves with an endless string of vulgar, profanity-filled, and sex-related dialogue, even if they aren't quite ready to deal with adult relationships or emotions. Go to Full Review

Han S Apr 14, 2019 If you dislike this movie, you shouldn't visit any restaurant.
Albus S Mar 14, 2019 slammin salmon is one of the funniest movies ever
Poe L May 7, 2017 A lesser effort from Broken Lizard. It has its moments, but overall is pretty mediocre and forgettable. Michael Clarke Duncan shines and is quite amusing. Rental at best, possibly the worst cover art ever. See more
Hermione R Feb 5, 2017 The crew from Super Troopers are a team of waiters at a high-class restaurant owned by a former boxer. The boxer gets into serious financial trouble, so he makes it very clear to the waitstaff that they must make an exorbitant sum of money in one evening of sales, or violence will be used. Good and will re-watch, but probably my least favourite Broken Lizard film (though I don't remember Puddle Cruiser very well). See more
Albus P Jan 8, 2017 This movie sucks. Broken Lizard did one good Movie (Super Troopers) and everything else has pretty much sucked since that movie. Not sure why i keep watching their movies. See more
Albus L Oct 8, 2013 It has several funny gags, and many memorable side characters, but it doesn't always hold together as a main course.
