Description:
?Prepare to laugh your ass off? (FILM THREAT)! From the Broken Lizard comedy troupe, who brought you the outrageously funny, rambunctiously sexy Super Troopers and Club Dread, here is the original gut-buster that started it all. The premise is simple: Felix Bean, average college Joe, has the hots for campus beauty Suzanne, only to discover her boyfriend is a muscle-bound brute on the rugby team. His pain is everyone?s gain in this riotous laugh fest that you?ll want to see again and again.
Amazon.com:
This good-natured college comedy launched the film careers of the Broken Lizard comedy troupe, who have since enjoyed a cult following with their subsequent features (Super Troopers and Club Dread) and even made inroads to Hollywood (director Jay Chandrasekhar helmed the big-screen Dukes of Hazzard movie). Here the five Lizards play a quintet of clueless college guys pursuing women with varying degrees of success; the humor is broad without tipping too heavily into gross territory, and several moments are laugh-out-loud funny, especially the group's riffs on independent theater, and a missing phone number digit. Made for an astronomically small amount (and funded largely with credit cards), Puddle Cruiser was promoted largely through a screening tour of colleges, which is covered in the disc's accompanying featurette, 'Rodeo Clowns.' All five Broken Lizard members are also featured on some very amusing commentary tracks. --Paul Gaita

Rating:  - Not as great as I thought
First of all I purchased this movie from my local CD Warehouse because it was on sale (2 for $3.99). I expected better than what I watched from the film. I wasn't able to follow the plot of the movie because they goes off about each of the five Lizards. I did think the movie was funny and I laughed through various scenes such as the one in the cafeteria where the lizards get caught, which is why I am giving the movie two stars instead of one. If you are into crude humor I slightly recommend this ... Read More
Rating: - Puddle Cruiser
I purchased this movie because Zack Chapman used to be my neightbor in Summit, New Jersey and he plays the Australian rugby player in the film.
Also a bunch of coworkers and friends are big fans of the Broken Lizard movies, so I guess to catch up to speed, I would start from the beginning and get thier first movie.
It was funny, but I did not find myself laughing out loud all that much. I think the pace was a little too slow, and there was too much conversation without enough ... Read More
Rating: - The Lizards weren't quite broken yet
Every comedy group has a first movie, and as much as I enjoy Broken Lizard's films, this isn't exactly MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL (AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT wasn't exactly a film, right?). It is, however, a pretty decent entry in the college movie genre, as it attempts to have realistic characters (along with the broad, off-the-wall characters the Lizards most often play) in semi-realistic situations (think of it as the SEINFELD of college movies, not in terms of quality but subject ...

Rating:  - Puddle Cruiser
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.
Rating: - they've definitely improved over the last few years :)
Ok everyone, if you're looking for a really well-acted comedy... well, keep looking. I have to say though, I liked this movie anyway just because of the novelty of it being the gang from Super Troopers and Beerfest. They have definitely improved since this movie though. I like having it in my collection, though. And even though I knew in the first few minutes of the movie that it wasn't going to be the best one I'd ever seen, I still couldn't stop watching it. And I'll admit the storyline was kind of cute. ... Read More
