Waste of time

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

First, let me say that this is a very funny movie which is given short shrift by people whose introduction to Broken Lizard was Super Troopers. The difference isn't in the movies but in the people who discovered them.I don't know how much stock to put in the "Gen X vs Millenials" stuff, but I think it makes a difference that Puddle Cruiser came out in 1996 and Super Troopers in 2001. I was in college in 1996 and Puddle Cruiser is exactly what it was like in that specific time and place.Super Troopers is a different movie that came out at a different time and was first viewed by a much younger audience than had "discovered" Puddle Cruiser. The difference between 20 years old in 1996 and 16 years old in 2001 is huge, and makes a difference in terms of taste and humor.I can see how you would be disappointed if you started with Super Troopers and went back to Puddle Cruiser, but in my opinion your disappointment is because Puddle Cruiser is like an inside joke that maybe just won't be funny except to a certain age bracket/demographic. If you had a driver's license during Clinton's first term I'd say give it a shot.

For a low budget, first film, I think this movie rocks. I like the humor in it, especially cause it's just like going to college so it kinda takes you back. I'm a film junkie so I loved seeing what they did on such a low budget and I thought they did an incredible job. Their humor and directorial techniques have evolved and gotten better through the years, but I still appreciate Puddle Cruisers as a good indie film. The main story is interesting enough, but I really love the side stories and all the hilarious characters they use. You can't expect it to be like Super Troopers, but it delivers the same great humor and shenanigans throughout the movie.

Even though this is the first film by the broken lizard group, it's the last one I saw. Having mildly enjoyed Super Troopers, and managed to sit through the crap that is club dred and beerfest, I was surprised to hear they did an earlier film. Now i didn't sit down with high hopes, but was hoping for a funny campus romp. My friend asked me to keep in mind they are younger (obviously) and its their first foray into film. I did and was still disappointed. Not taking away the acting and comedy skills of the BL guys, they were OK. The whole film was tiresome, clichéd and frankly boring. Some of the other actors in the film were really poor at acting. And the Rugby game didn't even resemble rugby. Poor showing. They improved drastically with Super Troopers and have declined since. Lets hope they get back on form with Super Troopers 2

Oh My Gosh!!!! This was the first movie Broken Lizard made as a group (although it just recently came to video), and I have never been more disappointed in my entire life!!! I tell you what, if I had seen this movie before I saw Super Troopers (which by the way, is a kick A$$ movie!!!), I never ever would have watched it!! I had read several reviews online, as well as on the cover of the DVD, that raved it as being,"Broken Lizard's funniest movie ever!" Now if they were referring to Super Troopers as being their funniest movie ever, I would agree nonstop, but not this one. Talk about dry. It took the movie a good 45 minutes to even get going, and by then, I was so out of the mood to watch it, that it wasn't even worth it. Maybe you gotta be high for it to really be funny? I dunno. I love these guys, I really do, but that movie is by far the worst one they've made. Club Dread was a pretty good movie, but this one, just wow. I'd highly recommend Super Troopers if you want a good laugh, but if you want more of a romance, drama, with a few funny spots, I'd say go with Puddle Cruiser. Just my opinion though, everyone is entitled to their own! :)
