I’m about to lavish Broken Lizard’s latest movie, The Slammin’ Salmon, with a ridiculous amount of praise. Before I do that, a positioning statement: I’m not one of those deluded Broken Lizard fans who humps everything they do as if it’s the second coming of Monty Python. Nor am I one of those weak-kneed bloggers who pretends to like Club Dread, just because Broken Lizard is friendly towards the online press. I loved the hell out of the first ten minutes of Super Troopers and have been waiting, ever since, for them to do something else that makes me laugh. Here it is.

The Slammin’ Salmon isn’t just the funniest thing Broken Lizard has ever done, it’s one of the funniest things I’ve seen all year. It’s consistently hilarious, every moment’s a laugh, and it easily trumps Waiting as the best restaurant comedy in recent memory. In particular, Michael Clarke Duncan steals every scene he’s in. The trailer doesn't quite live up to the film, but you'll at least get a taste of Duncan bringing the funny in the new Slammin' Salmon trailer below.
