Super Troopers 3: A Tired Sequel?
5 Aug
Summary
- The latest installment offers a familiar rehash of previous films.
- Wedding farce and cop antics are awkwardly combined.
- The film relies on player chemistry over fresh ideas.
Eight years after its predecessor, 'Super Troopers 3' continues the misadventures of the mustachioed Vermont state troopers. While the core quintet from the Broken Lizard comedy troupe returns, the film largely rehashes familiar jokes and a low-budget aesthetic. New cast member Andrew Dismukes joins as a juvenile rookie, fitting in despite his character's TikTok fixation.
The plot centers on an elaborate Indian-American wedding as trooper Farva becomes engaged to Thorny's sister. Though Thorny aims to sabotage the nuptials, the script leans into predictable wedding-farce scenarios with some culture-clash comedy. Meanwhile, a secondary plot involves the troopers' attempts to thwart a Canadian drug ring, featuring thin material about electric cars and maple syrup.
Despite some gross-out setpieces, the film's humor often relies on simple, disposable gags. The overall impression is that the creators are amusing themselves, confident in their cult following's willingness to laugh along. The film's existence feels more like franchise maintenance than a compelling new story.
