Super Troopers 3 review
The return of the country’s most incompetent police force fails to bring enough laughs or any real justification for its existence
TL;DR
- Super Troopers 3 fails to recapture the charm and wit of the original film, relying on repetitive and outdated humor.
- The movie's racial and ethnic jokes are no longer effective and feel forced, lacking the sharpness of the first installment.
- The film's characters appear older and weary, suggesting the franchise is running on fumes rather than creative energy.
- The central premise of cops as uncomplicated sources of comedy is undermined by contemporary societal scrutiny of policing.
- The movie's failure to address the current discourse around policing, racial disparities, and immigration enforcement dates the franchise.
- A bright spot is SNL's Andrew Dismukes as a crooked rookie cop, though his presence isn't enough to save the film.
