It's a meme as old as Fatty Arbuckle, but especially when it comes to comedy, reactions are sometimes polarized between critics and "regular folks." Take, for example, the 2002 indie comedy Super Troopers, which premiered at Sundance and was quickly picked up by Harvey Weinstein. The Tomatometer rating for Super Troopers is a Rotten 35% (hence this story sitting here), but the Audience Score is 90% "liked it." The latter probably explains how and why after just one day on the crowdfunding site Indiegogo, Super Troopers 2 reached its initial "greenlight" goal of $2 million, the day after it was confirmed that 20th Century Fox had picked up distribution rights to the sequel. Having said that, the Broken Lizard guys are quick to point out that $2 million was just the bare minimum, and that with more money, they can hire more "real Hollywood actors," etc. The Indiegogo profile also suggests that additional funds will help secure a wide release for the sequel. As for why this is the Rotten Idea of the Week, here's a link to director Jay Chandrasekhar's RT profile page, where none of his films as director have ever received a Fresh rating.


So a sequel to the first one. I am game as long as they don't go all stupid like an Adam Sandler movie.
