Delving deep into the ancestry of Reno 911!

The Movie: Super Troopers, directed by Jay Chandrasekhar
Recommendation: Dee
Reason: She just really wanted to watch it, I suppose, and with Final Destination 2 dying off on us, that's what we did.

So, yeah, trilogy week didn't exactly go off without a hitch. Final Destination 2's disc was incredibly trashed. Instead, so the movie train could keep running, I watched Super Troopers, an old favorite. It's the most likely predecessor to Reno 911!, not that that makes either movie or the TV show inferior. They're both very funny.

From the freakout of the stoners to the multiple drunk and sober brawls, Super Troopers was as fun as always. It's Broken Lizard's initial effort, preceding Club Dread and Beerfest, and I think it's probably the best (based entirely on hearsay, of course). It was a little clunky, but still funny.
