Super Troopers 3 review – misfiring cop comedy threequel

The Guardian · 4 hours ago

The Guardian's review finds Super Troopers 3 a disappointing return for Broken Lizard's comedy troupe, arguing the third instalment fails to justify its own existence and lacks the laughs of the 2001 cult original. The reviewer contends the film's crude humour and racial jabs, once sharply framed, now feel forced, while the cast appear visibly older and wearier as they repeat familiar gags such as car chases and jokes about Canada.

The plot centres on Kevin Heffernan's obnoxious trooper Farva finally getting the spotlight, rescuing Hannah Simone's character from a car crash and sparking a romance and engagement that fuels tension with his rival Thorny, played by director Jay Chandrasekhar. This wedding storyline runs alongside a half-hearted drug-smuggling case, but the review concludes the film cannot match the original's "masterclass in juvenile comedy," with the passage of time exposing the cast and material rather than sparing them.

  • Super Troopers 3 reviewed as a weak, misfiring comedy sequel
  • Cast appear older and jokes feel stale and forced
  • Plot follows Farva's romance and a drug-smuggling subplot
