Super Troopers 2

Thanks to an unexplained incident involving Fred Savage, the super troopers are now working in a variety of jobs outside law enforcement.  Mac (Steve Lemme), Rabbit (Erik Stolhanske), and Farva (Kevin Heffernan) work construction.  Thorny (Jay Chandrasekhar) has grown an impressive beard and works as a lumberjack.  Foster (Paul Soter) is still with Ursula (Marisa Coughlan), who is now chief of the Spurbury Police Dept.  Bleak as their professional lives look, Captain O'Hagan (Brian Cox) has invited them on a fishing trip in Canada.  The fishing trip turns out to be a ruse.  Governor Jessman (Lynda Carter) explains that a recent land survey indicates the Vermont border should be further north.  She needs a police force to handle the transition and thought they deserved a second chance.  Let the antics begin.
 
The antics are basically the same as the last movie.  There are pranks pulled on Farva (often painful), Rabbit is still the oft-abused rookie, Mac finds an opportunity to get naked, Thorny brags about his mustache, and they have ongoing run-ins with the rival police force, this time the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.  It's fun but basically a rehash.  Even so, it is great to see the further adventures of the Super Troopers.  Thumbs up.
