Puddle Cruiser Audience Reviews

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Ornlu Wolfjarl This was actually the first film Broken Lizard did together. I did not expect much from it, comparing Supertroopers and Beerfest (their latest 2 films) to Club Dread (the one they did after this one). However, I was not completely disappointed. The script and the dialogues were not that funny, however I always found myself smiling throughout the movie, and laughing at intervals. The good thing about this comedy is that it does not bring the actors to extremely embarrassing and annoyingly fictional confrontations like other college comedy/romance films (such as American Pie for example). With a small budget these guys managed to make a pretty realistic comedy which can give out laughter spontaneously, if you relax and enjoy it. Another plus for this movie is that the troupe probably created it out of something they thought while drinking at parties and having fun, so it contains a lot of genuine humour, which as I said will not make you burst laughing, but it still pleases and makes the film even more memorable. However, the acting sucks a bit (except Freaky Ricky), but it's something to be expected from such a young and unexperienced cast at that time. Also some scenes of the film build up to be funny, but leave you hanging with question marks around your head instead.Overall though, it's a nicely done film with genuine humour, nice atmosphere, averagely good characters and realistic situations where I'm sure people will think back to their own shenanigans (Supertrooper reference) while living student life.
C G Since one would most likely be watching this movie after seeing Super Troopers and/or Club Dread, one would be tempted naturally to compare this movie to the others. One should keep in mind this was their first film, and the budget was very low. That said... it is a good movie, well worth watching. It has several laughs out loud moments which in itself is worth the rental fee. It is very slow paced, and the film is almost completely dialog driven. However, there is great humor to be found in this dialog, the same humor which is found in S.T. or C.D..Having been out of college for over 10 years now, I imagine this would be even funnier watching this as a college student, as the plot centers around college life in a small pond. However, it has a nostalgic nature seeing this, as it did bring back some of my college memories.The acting of the lead character by Steve Lemme is extremely flat and tedious, helping to keep the pace fairly slow. (Lemme however in S.T. makes up for this ten fold.) Fortunately, the supporting characters played by the rest of the Lizard troop are exaggerated and outlandish. The repartee between Kevin and Paul's characters is particularly hilarious.Jay and Kevin are excellent editors, and Jay also chose great music for the soundtrack. Jay also avoids the usual mistake of a young film-maker with a dialog driven script by having good and interesting cinematography. The mail room scenes with Freaky are funny and show off Jay's creativity behind the camera.Again this is a good movie. It of course doesn't stand up well against Super Troopers, (which in my opinion is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.) And it will not be as visually as interesting as Club Dread which must have had a budget 100 times bigger than Puddle Cruiser. But it is a good and funny movie which can stand up on its own. I highly recommend it to any Lizard fans, and any fans of good comedy.
dragnsfire420 Alright, all of you who badmouth both this and Supertroopers really need to quiet down. This movie was made five years before Supertroopers, and it shows. The guys were in college, so they weren't quite as on target as they were later on, however I enjoyed this movie as much as both of the other two. People always use Supertroopers as a bar for these guys to be measured by, but that's not fair, Club Dread was in no way similar to Supertroopers, it was a completely different set up, so don't compare them. Same goes for Puddle Cruiser, different set up, they can't be looked at side by side. Overall, I'd give any Broken Lizard movie a chance, they guys are hilarious, and the best part is that every time you watch the movie, it gets funnier. Not many can do that today, and there are a lot of movies that try.If you want to be a real fan of Supertroopers, watch Puddle Cruiser, and see if you can recognize your beloved Vermont highway patrol officers beginning to take shape.
smartone15 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! :)
