Coming from the comedy troupe that brought you “Super Troopers” and “Beerfest,” Broken Lizard brings a new take on the 1996 film “Hunchback of Notre Dame” with their upcoming film “Quasi.”
The film, airing April 20 on Hulu, promises a hilarious and irreverent twist on the classic tale, with plenty of R rated surprises in store for audiences—and delivers just that.
The release date is deliberate, as April 20 is synonymous with marijuana and narcotic consumption across the nation. Broken Lizards have stated that their films are considered funniest under consumption of marijuana.
“Quasi” employs satirization to emphasize the performers’ unmistakable connection, making it a must-see for all comedy fans. Set in 13th century France, the plot is based on Victor Hugo’s film “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.” The narrative of the film pivots from the original as it follows Steve Lemme’s Hunchback as he navigates life and becomes embroiled in a feud between the pontiff and the king.
The film is set to be a hit among fans of stoner comedies and those searching for a fresh take on a familiar story. Devoted fans of Broken Lizard’s previous work won’t want to miss this latest offering from the troupe, which is composed of actors Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter, and Erik Stolhanske.
