     I sort of like the Broken Lizard movies.  Club Dread has a fantastic soundtrack and a few funny moments.  Super Troopers was mostly good, except when it was disgusting and forgot to be funny.  Beerfest and The Slammin’ Salmon had a few good scenes.  Except when they went for the low-brow gross-out and forgot to be funny.  Sadly, Broken Lizard Stands Up takes most of the gross-out humour and leaves out most of the funny.

     There must be someone keeping these guys in check when they make their movies.  Because judging by this stand-up set, all five of them think that just saying “masturbation” is funny enough.  Swear words and stories about weed and sex and masturbation.  Get it?  Or was there a joke to get at all?  I didn’t laugh too much here, and I spent a lot of time drifting away and not paying attention.

     Broken Lizard Stands Up comes out September 14th from Paramount Home Entertainment.  Watch it if you want, I guess.  But you’d be better off just renting Super Troopers again.
