I broke down and rented this movie online through cinema now a couple of years ago after seeing super troopers. Although not as laugh out loud funny as Super Troopers, it is a different kind of funny. I have been trying to find this movie everywhere and have been eagerly awaiting its release. I am looking forward to December!!!!

If you attended prep school or a tiny college in the middle of nowhere, you will love puddle cruiser. They got every single detail correct, and it was shot on location at Colgate University, the filmmakers' alma mater. It's a small film, made for nothing by the very funny Broken Lizard guys. It tells a classic story of boy meets girl, boy steals girl from her boyfriend, boyfriend gets revenge, girl freaks out because the guys are fighting. Many great gags and quotable lines. Very good stuff.

I really enjoyed this movie after watching the great "Super Troopers", and the not-so-great "Club Dread". This is the first Indie the Broken Lizard comedy group produced. If you're looking for the same comedy as in "ST", you will be dissapointed. No weed jokes or police jokes in this movie, however I was laughing out loud for most of it. The plot is thin but consistent. The cast works great together and I love to see independant film-makers gain success.
Some funny moments are when one guy is telling a girl who is interested in his buddy horrible things about him...
So hilarious!


Anyone who saw Super Troopers will love this, and really see the range of the cast and understand why they are praised for being superb writers.

I thought this movie was great. Even though the comedy was nothing like Super Troopers, and thank god it was nothing like Club Dread, I found it enjoyable. If I had to compare it to another movie I'd say it was a lot like Clerks. The acting at times in terrible, but most of the jokes come off well and are really funny. The movie basically revolves around this guy who gets into relationship with a girl who is still dating her old boyfriend. The main character is Dante'esque in the fact that he has no spine, and is a bit of a loser. The plot is pretty strong, and believable and has a nice climatic ending. If you're not going to buy it, I highly suggest you rent it because it has one of the greatest lines ever in a movie (when one friend basically ruins anothers chances of hooking up with a girl at a bar).

You can tell it is early Broken Lizard and it has more of a serious plot than most of their films but still remains funny. It was worth purchasing might be a better rental if you can find it.

You gotta stick with this one! I'll be the first to admit, the first twenty or so minutes threw me. I was expecting the usual over-the-top madness of the Broken Lizard boys, but this begins as a well-written, at times low-key campus life comedy. However, once the characters are developed the gang cuts loose--the courtroom sequence is my favorite scene from all of their films. And just seeing the (much younger) guys hanging out on frat couches is tons of fun.

Puddle Cruiser is much funnier when considered as an early effort by Broken Lizard. I guarantee it will be a cult hit. It was shown at my college in the mid 90's, and everyone loved it.

What you need to realize when you watch this movie is that it's NOT new. They shot this in 1995, as fairly recent college grads-on a VERY low budget. The humor and acting is a bit dry at times, but you have to realize that this is their first attempt and it is in fact an INDIE FILM. All in all it's a great story, and very funny. Worth watching!

Hate to say it but so far the worst Broken Lizard Group movie I have seen to date. Like most of their other stuff so I thought I would give this one a try. Was dissapointed. Didn't really find the movie amusing.

When I found out that there was a broken lizard film we had yet to add to our collection, I ran strait to my computer and had to get it! A little slow, but funny! If you are a broken lizard fan I would highly recomend that you add this movie to the collection!
