- 75New York PostLou LumenickNew York PostLou LumenickLaugh-out-loud comedies are so rare that you shouldn't casually pass up Super Troopers, which is essentially a smarter and much funnier version of the old "Police Academy" flicks.
- 70The A.V. ClubScott TobiasThe A.V. ClubScott TobiasWith no greater ambition than reworking the Police Academy movies, Broken Lizard comes up with a winning formula: one part laughs to two parts goodwill.
- 63Boston GlobeBoston GlobeBroken Lizard has a way to go to match the absurdity and conceptual genius of Monty Python or Kids in the Hall, but Super Troopers has promising moments of oddity.
- 60Film ThreatMichael DequinaFilm ThreatMichael DequinaLuckily, the genuinely funny jokes far outnumber the duds in the film itself, which is helped by the generally energetic performances by Broken Lizard and their co-stars.
- 60VarietyDavid RooneyVarietyDavid RooneyA fairly sustained barrage of broad undergraduate humor and gross-out gags that should tickle young auds looking for unsophisticated laughs.
- 50Rolling StonePeter TraversRolling StonePeter TraversBroken Lizard does it with a shit-faced integrity that's worth a salute.

- 20Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasLos Angeles TimesKevin ThomasThere's nothing super about Super Troopers except for those deep into the low end of the frat-house mentality that equates smart-alecky with hilarity.
- 10The New York TimesDana StevensThe New York TimesDana StevensBad and tasteless. You laugh neither with it nor at it but rather sit counting the minutes while the movie laughs, for no good reason, at itself.
