Grogan (Kevin Heffernan) and Matt (Paul Soter) get caught red-handed stealing food from the college cafeteria, but Felix (Steve Lemme) calmly climbs out a back window and gets away. Later, at a party with his friend, Zach (Jay Chandrasekar), Felix catches sight of Suzanne (Kayren Butler) and is immediately smitten. But not only does Suzanne have Traci (Jamison Selby), her jock boyfriend from home, hanging around, it also turns out that shes defending Felixs moronic friends in the schools case against them. As if this wasnt enough trouble, shes also trying to get them to turn in their unknown accomplice. Zach has his own romantic problems. Hes gotten the phone number of a beautiful woman, but shes left out one of the digits, and hes too shy to approach her again, necessitating several hours of dialing wrong numbers. Meanwhile, Suzannes friend, Emily (Alison Clapp), is being pursued by the kooky campus mailroom worker, Freaky Reaky (Erik Stolhanske). Puddle Cruiser was the first feature from the Colgate University-spawned comedy troupe, Broken Lizard, who produced the film independently. The film was well received at several festivals, including the 1996 Sundance Film Festival, but failed to find a distributor. The troupe took the film on an innovative national college tour, selling tickets and building word-of-mouth. Broken Lizards follow-up feature, Super Troopers, received a wide theatrical release in 2001. ~ Josh Ralske, All Movie Guide
