Movies by Jay Chandrasekhar

Jay Chandrasekhar is a master of raunchy, high-energy comedies that put an irreverent spin on familiar genres. As the co-founder and director of the acclaimed Broken Lizard comedy troupe, Chandrasekhar has helmed a series of cult-favorite films like Super Troopers, Beerfest, and Club Dread, which blend slapstick humor, over-the-top characters, and a gleefully anarchic sensibility. Chandrasekhar's directorial style is defined by its manic energy, clever subversion of genre tropes, and a willingness to push the boundaries of good taste. Whether crafting the misadventures of a band of mischievous state troopers, the antics of a motley crew of beer-guzzling Olympians, or the debauchery of a hedonistic island resort, Chandrasekhar brings an infectious sense of fun and a devilish sense of humor to even the most outrageous scenarios. Yet beneath the crude jokes and slapstick set pieces, his films often explore themes of camaraderie, personal growth, and the joys of living life on one's own irreverent terms. With his most recent feature, the long-awaited Super Troopers 3: Winter Soldiers, as well as upcoming projects like the family-friendly comedy Easter Sunday, Chandrasekhar continues to demonstrate his versatility and singular voice as a filmmaker. Whether embracing his signature brand of unhinged comedy or venturing into new creative territory, he remains one of the most distinctive and reliably entertaining directors working in American cinema today.
