Multiple outlets review “Super Troopers 3,” the latest film from Broken Lizard, the comedy troupe behind the cult “Super Troopers” franchise. The film returns to the story of a ragtag group of Vermont police officers. The Hollywood Reporter describes the sequel as featuring “more mostly unfunny hijinks,” suggesting the comedy does not consistently land. The Guardian also characterizes the film as a misfire, saying it fails to bring enough laughs and does not provide a clear justification for the film’s existence as a sequel.
Both reviews situate the series within its broader reputation. The Guardian highlights how the original “Super Troopers” became a notable cult comedy—built from a scrappy indie effort and remembered as a distinctly youthful, friendship-driven Y2K-era comedy. The Guardian also points to the franchise’s commercial impact after the first film, noting post-release sales and the low reported budget that helped make the sequel cycle possible.
Overall, the coverage agrees that “Super Troopers 3” is the continuation of a long-running comedic premise, but it draws criticism for weak comedic performance.
