Now that I have finally seen this film I understand why there were so many issues getting it off the ground. It felt like one of those really long SNL sketches that just wasn't working - only even longer. Like most, I enjoyed Super Troopers tremendously - it's endlessly watchable and one of my favorite comedies of all-time. I even enjoyed Club Dread for what it was and feel like it got better each time I watched it. I actually felt like Beer Fest was the weakest of their three major films but I still thought it was great. The Slammin' Salmon takes a giant step back and probably should have never been released. Of course there are some great one-liners and several cheap chuckles but I have no idea why Broken Lizard thought this would be a successful film. Everybody knows what they are capable of and The Slammin' Salmon does not live up the The Broken Lizard name. I feel like this may be another one of those movies where it gets a little better on future viewings. I think I went into The Slammin' Salmon with too high of expectations and was let down by what I saw.
This wasn't a completely worthless movie - there were still a few laughs. These guys have sharp wits and I know they are capable of better. Hopefully they will redeem themselves with their next release.
