5 stars for 5 funny guys
This movie is the shiznit. I know everyone says Super Troopers was better, but that's because they didn't think this would be a different movie. I like the way they were able to make such big character transitions for this. It really amazes me how people didn't like it because it was also a horror movie. They stepped into a territory that many can unsuccessfully stay in, but I think they really pulled it off. The characters and dialogue were pretty funny, especially Machete Phil. That scene surprised me. I couldn't believe what I had seen. These guys are the funniest group since Kids in the Hall and Trey Parker and Matt Stone. No movie scares me much anymore so I watched this to laugh, see some gore, and also, unexpectedly, see the diversity of characters they can play. I'm really surprised with Kevin Heffernan. He seemed natural as Farva, and then he is very smart in this one. I liked Putman because his humor was more of a subtle thing than blatantly obvious like the others. Him and Jenny was a hilarious running joke. The killer surprised me. I didn't expect it to be him. He really creeped me out. This movie is definitely worth a purchase, and also people should watch it like they have never seen Super Troopers. It can still be very entertaining. I hope to work with Broken Lizard one day. They inspired me to pursue my dream of making movies, one I had been debating over for a long time. Thanx guys if u ever read this review. Keep up the good work and I hope to see your next movie pretty soon.

A Great Follow Up to the Greatness that was Super Troopers
First of all, if you went into this thinking this was going to be every bit as comedic as its predecessor, then I might understand why you didn't enjoy this. It was touted for as long as I can remember as "The first HORROR movie from Broken Lizard." And I was very pleasently surprised when there was actually some very cool horror elements at work here. I felt the comedy kept the pacing from dragging in some parts, and really added to the satirical aspect of horror seen after Scream breathed new life into the genre. The result of blending the horror and comedy was a great experience. The introduction of everyone as a suspect getting off the boat was freaking classic! And the very first sex scene, "Well, we can at least go inside that old mausoleum!" BRILLIANT. Kevin Hefernan makes quite a turn-around from his "Love-to-hate-him" character Farva, to play the possibly crazy love interest in Dread. The rest of the supporting cast were fun and quirky, and the parody of Jimmy Buffet was very funny. The scene around the campfire, "From then on he was known as...Machetti...Phil!" Is definately not to be missed. So, if you buy or rent (and i suggest you at least see it), go into it knowing that it was more for horror than comedy. I think you should enjoy it either way, unless you don't have an ounce of entertainable quality in your body. Oh, and the ending is classic 70's horror movie fare. Looking forward to The College Row (I believe that's the title), and Super Troopers 2, providing they find funding (it really sucks to have opened opposite Jesus...it doesn't take a theologian to figure out who was going to win that bout.) Keep it up BL.

this is a let down from The Broken Lizard crew
Super Troopers did a lot for me and it wasn't a classic but it was funny as hell. Zoom foward to Club Dread which in the complete end of it has stirred away from it's own pot. Broken Lizard gang brewed up a mix of flat jokes, gorey violence and some scantly revealing women. In conclusion if this is your cup of tea then go for it but it's a let down. Bill Paxton (Near Dark, the upcoming Thunderbirds) who plays Coconaut Pete is the only highlight in the movie. Brittney Daniel (tv's That 80's Show, Joe Dirt) plays Aerobics Amy has her moments. It's like a bad hangover.
