If you ever were a cop or hung out with cops this movie will be about twice as funny. There are a couple scenes that are "can't breathe" funny where you are glad you don't have a mouthful of Coke. Other lines are really fast and if you don't pick up on them - they're gone. But the whole film is Caddyshack quality with a great blend of Over-The-Top and more believeable comedy. Since so much of the humor is fast and on a higher plane it is like a 2 hour Frasier episode.
Filmed in Upstate New York you get the Vermont feeling but it would have been nice if they added a few Second Unit shots of Mount Mansfield,
Vermont roadsigns or pick-up trucks with snowplow attachments in front.
The patrol cars and uniforms are generally faithful to the style of the Vermont State Police. See the authentic thing in "Spitfire Grille". But the wording and several uniform details are signifgantly different and obviously they are not seriously trying to recreate a VSP car or uniform so I will not list it as a "goof".
The reality is that the VSP are a highly professional agency that are way, way understaffed and underfunded and with Socialist Bernie Sanders, Flatlander Jim "Which Party Today" Jeffords and others, having a Governor portrayed as being "pro pot" is not too far removed from reality.
I look forward to Broken Lizard's next event! See this one before it leaves town!!!
